Reverse camera

[saintsreturn]

I have read up a lot on what's available but wanted to get the opinion of those with the 2013's. I just got off the phone with the dealer and they said they could completely instal the system and blah blah for about 650$ that is over what I was originally told by sales but even more than I really want to pay. Those who have played this game already, is it worth the money to let them do it or order the parts and go the DIY route?

I support the DIY method. Total cost is about $350, using OEM hardware.

If you have your dealership do it, ask which equipment they're using. There are a variety of kits, each offers different benefits.

There is no kit, which adds full OEM functionality, including moving lines.

There is a kit on eBay, which is probably lowest overall cost. It is a generic camera and involves splicing some wires.

There is NAVTV and LOCKPICK, which both add extra functionality to your radio. I doubt the dealership would install LOCKPICK, for liability reasons.

Just find out what they're installing. Look up the cost of the parts and see if it's worth the labor you are paying. In the case of my kit, you would be paying $300 in labor, which is a bit high.

Yeah I feel the same but the full parts needed list is going to be some work to track down. I am hoping to find enough information on the forums to put together the needed list.

It's two purchases.

The harness kit
The MOPAR camera kit

All kits, other than the Lockpick, require a dealer flash.

Will this work on a '14 2500? Also how much does the dealer usually charge to flash that option code?

It works on the 2014. Dealer should charge $50. Some have paid as much as $100. Others have been free.

Thank you sir. I am pretty sure you wrote a lot of what I was reading before and between the two forums, I lost focus and track of the plan. I appreciate the list

Jeep,
Adding the lock pic only unlocks options after the deck is flashed right? Would it be worth buying that along with everything else?

I am not certain, but their directions don't indicate that a dealer flash is required.

You don't need a dealer flash with the lockpick. The Lockpick has video inputs for aftermarket cameras and feed them into the factory head unit without a flash. It will also allow video in motion.
