Back up camera
I have a 2008 f250 with a 7g1t-18k931-dd nav 6cd radio. Can I put a backup camera and hook it to my radio. If so how?

I guess it would depend if the radio has a video input. If so then all you do is get camera mounted where you want. Find a power source to plug into and mount it n

I believe the radio would need to have a video-in on the back.... maybe look up your truck and radio at crutchfield.com and see what they sell as add-ons for stock or call them and ask.. they might even have pdf files showing the wiring diagrams

I don't think your radio has video capabilities. You would need to verify that. how many plugs on the bottom back does it have? 2? or 3?

Yeah you need to find a video input. Like my setup had my CTS has a video input so I used that. I already have aux lights in the rear of my truck. So I taped the power from them.

The easiest way to verify is to look through the menu options on the radio/nav. system and see if there is a source selection for video. If yes, you are good if not, SOL. Good luck.

It looks to me like the "adapter" allows additional functions but still must have a video input in the radio/nav unit.

Video inputs are very specific... not something you can create by "tapping" into another system.
