Side cameras on a 2016

[Afkbrad]

Just got a 2016 Ram 1500 with factory tow mirrors. I plan on upgrading the stereo to the Stinger HEIGH10. It has the ability to run four cameras. My wife and I both have neck problems and would like cameras that come on when we use the turn signal. I called a stereo shop today and was quoted $1500 PER MIRROR to install mediocre cameras. They said the labor on each mirror would take a very long time and they may even have to pull the door off.

There’s got to be a better solution. I want to keep my tow mirrors and I’m hoping someone has a workable solution.

Maybe you can find a friend to do it? A DIY job should cost around $50-$100

No way that the door has to come off
Ram has a very good access to anything inside of the door.

Maybe think about a dash camera setup
they make dash cameras that face forward & have a second camera that faces the rear. Maybe find a camera that has a 190° view, that can be mounted inside the cab, but at the top of the rear window, if your not running a Topper.
Or maybe cameras that bumper mount

Here is the thread I used to get mine installed relatively cheaply.

Turn Signal Camera Install

Here's how I installed turn signal cameras on my Ram pickup today. The truck, 2014 Tradesman single cab short bed. 3.6L, 8 speed, most of the interior options like PW and carpet. Came with the Uconnect 3.0 radio, RA1. I replaced it with a Uconnect RA3. Paid $166 for the radio. Did not...
