    Parking is absolutely the reason I want one. I'd love to mount it up higher so I can see the bumper the way I can in the rear.

    Where is your rear camera mounted? Mine is mounted under the tailgate next to the spare tire access point. I can't see the number unless I move it somewhere else.

    It's mounted in the tailgate release lever. It's the stock location for a 2014.

    @mCat hows your set up working out? Also what camera did you end up going with and do you have a picture of it mounted on your truck?

    I bought one of those on eBay for $20 and plugged it into my Pioneer 8100NEX, which has an extra input for a front camera. You can toggle back and forth by just shifting between drive and reverse, takes a second but works fine.

    Is that the same one that @mCat used? I have an aftermarket grill with no desire to put the emblem back on.

    Hey guys sorry for lack of updates, been super busy, no time for truck stuff. I bought a new camera off Amazon(link below) that was supposed to be reversible view(used for front camera as well as rear) but that one didn't function as it was described(video wasn't reversible) so I got a refund from amazon for it, Now I'm looking for another camera to try out. I don't want one that mounts to the lisence plate as I park in the city and get little 'love taps' from very friendly people all day.

    I had it mounted in my grille(satoshi style) at the very top center of the grille, worked really really well to see all points on the bumper but video was upside down so i returned it

    now I'm looking for something new that's not upside down again....

    I take it as you are installing it into a radio screen or the mirror? I'm using an extern all display that has mirroring built in

    I am looking to get my hands on the 24 pin radio integration harness that has the 2 rca jacks. It comes with the camera source kit. Anybody who buys the kit from camera source with a 2013 should have the 24pin harness left over. I believe the 2013 requires the 16pin harness and the 2014+ requires the 24pin harness. I'm hoping to get my hands on the 24 pin harness with the 2 rca jacks. Anybody want to sell theirs?

    yes this is for installing into the factory display on the radio.

    here are some pictures of the installed camera I got from a buddy of mine. Seems to be the same thing I bought from Amazon on the previous link but for some reason this one reverses the video but the other one i got from amazon didn't do that.

    just quality comparison here is the front camera and the factory rear camera resolution.

    I guess there's really no way to tell a model number on that is there? Or maybe a random mistake by Amazon on the camera from there?
