The new handle with the camera kit comes with a new lock. That's why I have an extra unkeyed lock and handle.

When you did the camera install, was it pretty straightforward and did you add the power lock/unlock feature? Also, did you have to get the flash done at the dealer and what do they charge for something like that? It would be cool to have the power lock on the tailgate since I have a tonneau cover.

I have both the power lock and camera. Both are relatively easy with the wiring being the most difficult. Even that is not hard if you have done stuff like that before. The only real issue I had was the fact that they give you way too much camera wire so I cut and spliced it back together. Where you connect to the TIPM connector wires, you can easily remove each pin from the connector and then splice the wire and shrink tube without cutting as the directions say.

My radio came from a T&C with a camera. So I figured it would be plug and play. (Asked on here and got no response) But no such luck. It has to be flashed. I have to take the truck in for some RRTs where they will be in the computer so hoping they will cut me a deal since it really isn't that big of item to turn it on. If the quote is too high, then I will just get an Allgig, but that would require the dash to be ripped apart again.
