2025 RAM trailer camera

As I back up my enclosed trailer and look at my 2025 DRVM . . . and I note the button to view a trailer camera on said DRVM . . . but I remember it takes a specific camera because the mirror is proprietary . . . and then I realize that the truck has been out for 15 months but no such camera is available . . . I want to drink whiskey and kick my cat.

That is all.

It’s criminal.
I agree.
 
Hello Guys, just traded in my 2002 Ram 2500 and am now the owner of a new 2025 Ram 2500 Big Horn equipped with trailer package. On my camera's screen I have options for an aux1 & 2 camera's. I am looking for advice on a single rear view camera to put on my Pre-wired 5th Wheel camper. Its mid July already, I have skimmed over all the comments and advice in this post and hoping to get a suggestion for a camera, and connection wiring to fit my needs. Any advice would be greatly aprritiated.

I think there are many of us waiting for the same info. I don't think it exists yet, but maybe I'm wrong.
Personally I'm waiting for @Jimmy07 to tell us he's personally tested something or has solid knowledge of a p/n that works.

You should really join HDRAMS.COM

Clarification:

DRVM = Digital Tow Mode camera shows on DRVM - plugs into funky new "coax"
360* or AUX/AUX2 trailer camera = shows on UC screen Aux1/Aux2 - plugs into 12-pin receptacle (assuming this is present) and if you have blue screens on AUX1/AUX2.

Visionworks sells a wireless kit that plugs into the 12-pin. Camera quality should be much better than (analog) OEM (which are crap).

Keep in mind, the UC display times out at 8MPH or 8 seconds if moving forward. These are good for backing, but without a Tazer or Naviks (black box), they're not good full time observation cameras.

 
I'm still absolutely perplexed how we could be nearly 18 months in to this platform and not have a DRVM camera option when the mirror was clearly designed for it. Every time I look up at my DRVM and see only the front of my enclosed trailer, I want to lash out irrationally.
