Backup Camera with Factory Navigation

[NettlesD]

I did some searching and I'm wondering if there is some type of plug and play for a truck with factory navigation (06 truck) to add a backup camera. At one point it looked like JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE was offering them but maybe someone has come up with a better solution now.

There's a truck on eBay now that has it so it looks like it can be done. Anyone have any insight on the conversion or what needs to b bought?

There are 2 ways to do it. Of course I have gone this route already.
#1 Lockpick. You can only do this if the radio is a late 06 and has the right connector on the back of it.

#2 Send it to this company for the radio to be modified.

This is the route I had to go. It isn't cheap by any means. Think it was somewhere about $500 and that is without the camera.

Hey, thanks, just the information I was looking for. I believe my truck is an early build so I will have to see about the connector for option 1. At least I have the information and can go forward (no pun intended).

There is a post somewhere about how to remove the radio.
You have to pull the center console out to access 2 screws that hold the trim piece in from the bottom.
When you put it back together, most people leave those 2 screws back out.

Ah, good to know.
