Has anyone had any luck with buying a new 3rd brake light with camera and hooking into the system? For trucks that didn’t come with the bed camera option? Thanks!

There was a thread about relocating the camera and one about adding the system that only connects with the rearview mirror.  Are you talking about the brake light that has 2 cameras?  I have been wondering the same thing.

Yea I am looking at the brake light camera.  It was hard finding a truck with that package in my area so I just pulled the trigger thinking I could always just add one.  I have the dealer currently looking into it. I would think there must be a plug up in that outlet area and you can purchase the third brake like with camera OEM.  I was hoping the dealer could just reprogram the camera system to allow that on my touchscreen like many models already have.

Im looking into this also. Wonder if it'll be possible to add without having to add the rear view mirror also.

So far my dealer says they are unable to add that camera and sync with the factory head unit.  I guess I find that hard to believe. May have to go aftermarket on this one.  My wife is going to be pissed. lol

I am also interested in this.  I tow a fifth wheel and need a view of the bed - not the bumper hitch. I would be happy if there were a way to somehow redirect the hitch view camera to view the bed instead.

I am also researching if it is possible to add a bed camera on my 3rd break light to use for a fifth wheel trailer. I have a tailgate camera but no 3rd break light camera. Is it possible to add to the infotainment system with a 7 inch screen?

There a two ways it is done as a factory option for a bed camera. (depends on trim level)

Lower trims the view is in the mirror, higher trims the view sows up on radio screen.

 

UVO         Bed View Camera, camera in the CHMSL to show a view of the cargo bed, display located in rearview mirror

 

UVN         Bed View Camera, camera in the CHMSL to show a view of the cargo bed, display located in infotainment screen, includes Two Trailer Camera Provisions

I have never heard of this.  Does my one have the camera part number?

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
