Can you add aftermarket back up camera and display it in center screen?

[atikovi]

For a '15 P.I. can I buy this camera for example, LED Night Vision Car Truck Rear View Reverse Backup Parking Camera Waterproof | eBay and have it display in the center screen? I have Forscan if needed.

Sorry I cant be off too much help, I'm a noob with my PIU still, plus I have no backup cam.

However, my Uncle bought one at the same time as I did, and his has a factory OEM backup camera, which displays as a screen on the rear view mirror. So perhaps there is a good factory option that would make for an easier install.

Yes, it requires wiring and removing most of the parts in the center stack, I’ve done 5 of them

Is there a write-up or details posted anywhere?

Not that I’m aware of, it’s a pair of wires in one of the Apim connectors, then a camera. In the back, I know pimods sells a kit.

I was able to program the FCDIM so that I get "REAR CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE" in the center display when I go into reverse. I bought this camera off Ebay 170° Car Truck Rear View Reverse Back Up Camera Kit Waterproof Night Vision | eBay for $15. It has an RCA connector and a red and white wire. Anyone sell an adapter cable to connect it to the APIM or is there a write-up somewhere?

Finally got it done. Fairly straight forward but takes a bit of time. Especially the mounting and wiring inside the tailgate.

wired it up to the factory display screen. Will button it up later after routing the cable in the dash.

But what did you plug into for the image?

Especially with the rear beep censors

The rear camera.

May I suggest that if you plan to buy new OEM parts, check out Levittown Ford? https://parts.levittownfordparts.com/ They are a forum vendor and offer members a discount. They are less expensive than the Fordparts site where dealers get their parts from.
