rear view camera - can it be added?
Hey guys,
I'm looking at a Lariat with most of what I want except the rear view camera. The truck has the nav system with the sony stereo system. Does anyone know if the system is prewired for the camera? Can I add it or have it added? I have found a way around my payload issues and I am looking at 150s now. I like the truck, but the wife wants the camera. Any ideas?

Thanks. I have not purchased the truck yet. I'm still mulling it over and trying once more to find one with the rear view camera. I try not to purchase this much vehicle without being sure I will not have buyer's remorse.

the backup camera is AWESOME
you can't find a new truck with it installed? or buying used?
You can buy the OEM backup camera that fits into the tailgate handle, and the screen is integrated into the rear-view mirror. runs $600-800 if you pay retail for it.
Don't know what the leads look like though...hopefully they are RCA types. I'm about to buy a touchscreen Kenwood for my Expy and I'm going to see about putting the camera outputs to that HU.
alternatively, there are quite a few FM reciver style wireless cameras that mount in a included License plate cover. They transmit to a dash unit, and I've seen alot of guys just put that into their HU. runs under $200 for that setup

Anybody have the part numbers to order for the factory backup camera? I don't have the Nav system but would like to add the factory system where the camera shows up in the rear view mirror.

I would try and get the dealer to add it as part of the deal. you can buy the parts and do it yourself if you want to. I have the factory nav but no rear view camera. I purchased the camera and emblem from Ebay for $82 including shipping. now I need to buy or make the wiring, I just have to had time to go by my dealer to get part numbers and prices.

Thanks. I'm working 2 different dealers and the other one has found a truck with everything I want. The MSRP is 45,070.00 and we are down to 36,995.00 after all discounts and rebates. I have access to "D plan" via my Brother-in-law, but I cannot get a clear answer on what this price will be. It is some variation of dealer invoice (as I understand it), but what I do not know.
