Duty (2010-Current)

The Rear Camera Mirror for RAM 1500 (2009-2018) & Heavy Duty (2010-Current) is a kit that includes all necessary components to install a rearview camera onto your vehicle’s mirror. The kit includes a FullVUE mirror, power harness, camera harness, and rear camera. The rearview camera provides a clear view of what’s behind your vehicle, making it easier and safer to park, reverse, and maneuver in tight spaces.

The installation process requires basic tools such as a wrench, wire strippers, wire cutters, electrical tape, screwdriver, panel removal tool, zip ties, and socket set. The installation time varies between 45-75 minutes.
