Multi-Camera Setup for Towing
#16
So...for my setup w/out the RV (or while hooking up to it):
Something like this to add into the 3rd brake light:

And something like this to replace the OEM camera since i'll be removing my tailgate:

I'll wait on getting the actual license plate camera until I get the new truck here, can do some measurements, and stare at the back end for a while to see how I want it to look.

This is for the older brick radio with the harddrive. This is for the radio in the 2011-2012 like in the pic below.

Only one problem with this system that I can see... Notice the headlights on the ATV are pointed toward the curb? In the screen, they are pointed in the opposite direction...
Need a camera or screen that reverses the image in order to use effectively as a rear view mirror like this one..

This Canopener doesn't work with the 2013-2015 Radio. The 2013-2015 radio is modular. The lockpicks for it have one connector that plugs into the head and then truck connector plugs into the lockpick cable.

If you had not reversed the picture, it would not be a mirror image. That's the problem you will find with a system that was not meant to be a backup (mirror) camera...
Here's an experiment for you.
Stand in front of a car parked at the curb facing it ( you are looking at the front end )...
Take a picture of it with your phone.
Now Turn around and face the same direction as the car.
Look at the picture you just took as though it were a rear view mirror.
Where is the curb in the picture (mirror)?
Yep - it's on the wrong side...
So that's why you can't use just any camera / monitor combination.
