I can’t say for sure, but for 5th wheel prep, this receptacle might also be in the bed, and you would manually switch the connection like you would on a 5th wheel prep with the 12/7 pin connectors.

It will be the default view when it is plugged in, and the digital camera in the CHMSL will be the default view when it is not plugged in. This is a digital camera that can be mounted anywhere you want, and will display in the rear view mirror.

You would chose this package if you want the tow mode camera, but do not want a package/group that includes the digital rear view mirror. You would choose this option if you already have a package/group selected that includes the digital rear view mirror.ĪVF- Tow Mode digital rear view mirror package includes wired tow mode camera- $945.

The second part of this equation is I still can’t figure out what camera is it that goes with this system and where the heck you buy the camera from. I want the Tow Mode Camera (Wired) that is visible via the rear view mirror camera as I will be using this truck to tow a camper. The camera kit with wiring that plugs into the 12 way connector is available separately.” This option only preps the truck wiring itself to accept the trailer wiring kit, and has the feature for the aux cameras enabled in the radio. Mopar Trailer Camera Wiring w/No Camera $515 option- this is the truck wiring prep for the aux trailer cameras 1&2 that have been offered for a few years now, and it would include the 12/7 way trailer connector.

It’s image will display in the rear view mirror only, and will be selectable between that camera, and the rear view mirror camera that is in the CHMSL. “Tow Mode Camera (Wired) $450 option- this is the digital camera for the digital rear view mirror that you would attach to the back of a trailer, and plug into the bumper.
