Real quick All-Gig install ?

I had a similar problem. When I installed my All Gig I wanted my camera to come on like normal, but I had to unplug the harness that fed the signal into the radio unit so it was just a black screen anytime I put it into reverse. I ended up making my own RCA jacks and using posi-taps to jump the signal from the factory harness (my camera is a factory installed one so this might make it different than the over the counter Mopar ones).

I am confused now...
let me make this real simple so I can get a simple answer!! I appreciate all the help people are providing!
I just want my camera to work like factory. The dealer is installing the RER, BT Mic, Rear Camera and iPOd harness tomorrow.
I don't need, at this point, my camera to work in any other fashion other than in reverse for backing onto the trailers..or for kiddie patrol. In other words "work like factory".
DO I NEED TO DO ANY WIRING OR IS THIS PLUG AND PLAY??
TIA
I only bought the ALL-GIG to add a rear video monitor and have the Nav entry in motion.
again, I appreciate the help people are providing!

Thanks,
that is all I needed. I dont need to view it an other time right now. I may later get into wiring different than factory but for now...only going to view it in reverse..
I was just wondering what to expect tomorrow...
I am just installing the A/V harness for the rear video output, thats all
Thx again

I don't think you needed to do that. The AllGig has a setting (on/off) to enable the backup camera. If you have the factory camera already installed and working, you set this to off. If you're adding a camera, you set it to on. This tells the radio there's a camera hooked up to it. It's their way of allowing us to add a camera without the need for the dealer to enable it using the Starscan or Wifi or whatever it's called now.

I have not heard of the factory rear camera not working after ALL GIG install. What I have on my workbench waiting to go in my truck would appear that you would unplug a harness, plug in the A/V harness then re-plug in the factory harness back in to the end of the A/V harness, thus, reconnecting the factory camera?

I just installed the Mopar (AKA factory) camera on my truck. There were three wires with three terminals that I had to insert into the gray connector that plugs into the back of the MyGig. The AllGig plugs into the MyGig where the white connector goes. So the Mopar camera isn't unplugged when you install or uninstall the AllGig.

It really wasn't that bad. I spent about a week doing research on the diodes and relays while I waited for my camera to come in.
Tell ya what, I just had surgery on my sinuses and I'm stuck at the house for another week. Tomorrow I'll try to come up with a parts list and wiring diagram to try and help anyone else doing the install.

I did indeed wire the power for the camera as the Mopar instructions specified. The backup camera therefore only has power in reverse, which is fine by me. I'm not sure I can think of an instance when I would want to see the rear camera while I was driving forward. Right now my AllGig is configured so that I can hit the power button twice and it attempts to show the rear camera, but the screen goes black (because I have it wired factory style). The next time I get the computer hooked up to it I plan to disable that feature.
