Hey IB,

How hard do you think it would be to use the Jailbreaker to hook a camera on the back of the 5er? What kind of plug came on your front camera? RCA? Would it be as simple as running the RCA and having a plug in the bed to disconnect?

Just bought a new 5er this weekend and I need to get a camera on the back of it and was wanting something a little more reliable than the wireless system I have now. It would be great to not have to have a second monitor mounted in the truck when I already have one I could possible use.

PS:
I'm not on your buddy list so I couldn't PM you this question. Maybe you don't like me as a Buddy IDK......LOL!

I added you to my buddy list.

The new harness that you plug into the back of the Uconnect has 2 yellow RCAs for 2 separate video feeds, and one set of red and white RCAs that go with the one yellow. So, there are two different video feeds, and one has audio capability. The harness has factory style connectors and is plug and play.

Yes it could be that simple. Mine came with the "cargo cam" harness too. To activate that, all I have to do is buy the 3rd brake light with the camera from RAM or the one Customtronix sells.

Thanks for the reply. I need to do something quick so I just ordered this. I didn't want to take a chance and have trouble getting it set up.
