That’s in the Maestro unit. I don’t have all of those options on my truck, but things like DRL, door lock timing, etc., show up in the menu on the unit.

I should have taken pictures of this step:
I ran the camera wire from the tailgate handle through the tailgate following the factory wiring. Comes out the bottom of the tailgate a little right of center. Followed the factory wire still through the hole to under the bed. That comes out just left...
You can put in an aftermarket head unit, just finished mine. If it’s a full size unit you’ll have to cut outa bit of plastic from behind the factory unit.

Yea.
The camera has the lines that turn with the truck, but they don’t use steering input. It must be processing it on the camera itself, it’s definitely part of the feed. Whatever algorithm it’s using to see the turn, it’s really slow and will whip around unexpectedly. I’d rather have static...
I don’t recommend that camera, after first use. The lines are wonky, and the field of view is narrow. I have another one coming tomorrow that I’ve used before, should be better.

Here’s the camera I used:

Unscrew the lens cap, insert into factory hole, tighten it back up.
I use a Maestro RR unit that connects to the factory harness up front, that has a reverse sensor coming out.
Both of my Fakra adapters were female on the RCA side...
I’m under the truck right now, finishing this up.
I removed the OEM camera. In its place I put in an after market camera, fit was perfect, no modification on the hole. From there I used an RCA to Fakra adapter then to the cable the OEM camera used.
Up front I used another Fakra to RCA adapter...
Just got some pieces in the mail today, and a different camera for worst case.
If the cable from the camera goes to the BCM then to the unit, maybe the BCM is powering the camera. It’s a tough one to test. I’m thinking of taking the factory camera out and bypassing the truck wiring just to...
Perfect, thanks! That’s the way I’ll go then. That PDF from FCA has the measurements for the camera, just to need to find a match then.

Yea, exactly. Darn. I'll take apart the tailgate and see what I can tap into there then. You might be right on swapping out the camera, even if I have to run a new cable back to the head unit.
I don't think mine is digital. I had the Uconnect 3 5" screen, according to this it's analog:

Adapter came today. My head unit has a female RCA jack, and the adapter does as well. It’s kind of hard finding a male-male RCA adapter locally so ordered that for this weekend.
I did try a regular RCA cable between the two, but just get a black screen, same result I get when it’s not...
