CHMSL Camera AFTER purchase

Is the CHMSL Camera a plug and play install if using OEM parts on an XLT delivered without it?

I have known different manufacturers to handle camera prewiring different - some are and some aren't.

Theres a whole thread on this somewhere. I believe the origional person had to buy a new harness as well as well as all the other parts. I dont even know if he was successful or not with programming it.

I think I read that thread a short while back. Not going to wade through that again. Sounds like the PnP answer is still "no".

Why order a fifth wheel prep package on a truck and not add the $200 camera. Seems weird but oddly common.

Exactly... I ordered both when I got my 19. One would be foolish not to add it for 200 bucks.

Be lucky you found one with fifth wheel prep. Seems none of the dealers order it here.

So I am ignorant, youcan at least add OEM style fifth wheel supports after delivery however, right? I mean, at least that is an OEM option that can be installed after purchase. (Or are only aftermarket puck systems possible to install?)

Just researched and answered my on question, yes the OEM system is orderable and installable post production.
