What’s the options for a good “factory look” mounted back up camera ?

There’s more options available for how to make a camera look factory on your truck because the factory cameras were integrated into the tailgate above the license plate on the trim. I would shop around on amazon or eBay to see what’s offered for camera setups. I didn’t see anything I liked but that’s because my tailgate is different.

I found this company with some OEM looking options.

I’m definitely getting the Maestro RR. That’s the one part of the equation that there is no question on. Keeping all the available features while using the new HU is the whole point for Me. I like being able to raise volume / change the song etc from the steering wheel.

One thing I forgot to mention, and this is why I went with Kenwood, is that it has Garmin navigation built in.

I have always used Garmin GPS so I was super happy that it was an option. I absolutely hated the factory Navi.

Pricey but those look like some good options for mounting and way better than my setup! Lol

I put an aftermarket camera in a factory bezel and plastic welded it in on my '12

That looks really good. Can’t even tell you did anything.You would think that there would be an easier solution.

It was a pain in the ass to get it all wired, pulling that trim is no easy chore either

The setup I currently have in the 04 has the garnin Navi. It works pretty good. For what it’s worth some of the pioneer units have some Navi as well. It’s just not garmin

I have always been a Kenwood fan but I newer radio (can't remember the model number offhand) for my work car and I am not pleased. The user interface is very generic and the Android Auto always disconnects. I am not sure if the wireless is better, I have only the wired option, but it isn't the Kenwood I remember. I will likely try a different brand in the future.
