    Anyone know how to get the rear camera to display in the rear view mirror? I have the OEM rear view mirror with Homelink and I can’t figure out how to set it up

    Are you sure the mirror is capable of displaying images? Confirm it capable of displaying images. If not get a mirror that is capable of displaying images that is compatible with the backup camera.

    +1. Depending on how your truck is equipped, there are a number of mirror configurations that include various combinations of Auto-Dimming, Temp, Compass, Homelink, and/or Camera Display. If you need to upgrade your mirror, recommend Bob's Automotive Mirrors & More LLC.

    might just have to hit the "auto" button on the mirror. in my 2009 that turns the camera display on/off (when in reverse).

    If you want to look at fuses and wiring, the rear-view camera wire(s) (1 or 2) plug into the upper-left edge of the fuse box that's by the driver's left knee. Most things plug into the front or the back, so these are conspicuous.
