Watching TRX vids on YouTube and noticed it had the rearview mirror camera, I’m assuming it’s on the 21 rams as well. I have a 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 8.5 nav/backup cam option. Has anyone installed the newer rearview camera Mirror? Could they just tap into reverse cam and have it always on on the rearview mirror? Possible plug and play kit out???

I suspect it's a lot more involved since they do not pull from the tailgate cam but instead use a camera mounted in the third brake light. You'd need at least the mirror, brake light assembly with camera, new wiring harness and who knows what else.

There is an older thread that discussed this. Might take a bit to find it, but I believe all these questions are addressed in that thread.

Edit: Guess it didn't take long at all to find it LOL...
