I did mine. I live in the Toronto area. There is a place called Nu-Tek in Concord Ont. Check out thread in Audio section on this site.

It was part of my purchase deal. Not sure on cost. Maybe call Nu-Tek and ask for Mike or Malcolm.

lincoln81,
I am currently going through the same issue.. I have a long story that I wont bore you with, but the dodge dealers don't have anything to properly install the OEM camera into the truck. Some dealers have the ability to add cameras, but as I went through, they tend to install inferior P.O.S cameras.. If you've seen the OEM camera, then you would be disappointing with most aftermarket installations.
Check out this page if you wish to venture into DIY, or maybe you can convince your dealership to follow the steps and help you out..

Hope that helps. I know I wasn't happy with any of the 3 aftermarket cameras they tried installing in mine.
Additionally, aftermarket wont show moving lines like the OEM camera does.

Hope that helps.

$200 for the camera already in the handle. just run the wires.

i used a generic camera and did it for less than 100, but the picture quality is less desired..

What model truck do you have? I have an outdoorsman and i installed one myself with the help of jeep_guy and his thread.
