I just did a quick search on the one I have but its been discontinued. Plugged into the receiver. I love it! Shoulda got the factory one when I got the truck. Anyway do a Google search on Bully Dog. Not too expensive. I'll never have a truck without one again. Damn new cars are so short ya can't see em behind you.

used the autopage bp4. works well but at about a foot it tell you to stop. picks up things great even those skinny tall ~4 cone/markers by itself. i used the original factor bezels and then drilled them out to fit the sensor. tapped the reverse light for power and then ground it. i ran the wires up thru one of the hole under the rear chair.

I had really hoped the backup sensors would be included with the camera. Rear sensors are essential for me, I think, though I've never used a reverse camera before..
Just saw a pc of parking sensor here: http://www.espow.com/wholesale-7-inc...d-sd-card.html

Sounds like parking sensors are very useful. I see too many people in cities parallel parking.

Do a Google search. I got a GPS with a wireless backup camera for about the same price. To tell you the truth I use the backup sensor system more. The camera is good for hooking up the trailer and backing it down a ramp.
