Where does the trailer camera display (and what connector do I need?)

I have a 2021 Ram 1500 and a trailer with a wireless camera that pairs with a lame display that I have to leave on the dash. I can get a wireless received that can plug into the truck, and hoping to then get the image to the electronic rear view mirror when in tow mode, connecting via the same connector that this (https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-trailer-camera-vehicle-prep-kit-82215833ab) plugs into, but have two questions...
1) After connection, where does the trailer rear view image display - on the uconnect 12" display and/or the rear view mirror?
2) Any idea what connector I need to connect to the truck? The wireless received looks to have a coax type output, so am looking for something that can adapt between them without spending ~$400 on a kit that I don't need most of.

Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out?

I'm also researching this right now. I might just take it to the dealer and tell them to let me know when I have a trailer camera that will show up on my UConnect screen.
