Default Can I add backup camera and/or nav to my factory touchscreen?

I have a 2010 Ram 1500 Sport that did not come with a backup camera or navigation. However, I do have the factory touchscreen radio/DVD player/CD player. My question is whether or not I can mount a backup camera and easily wire it so that it is visible on the screen? Thanks in advance!

you can also buy the Mopar backup camera kit, dealer has to flash the radio to make it work though. I put the Mopar kit in my 2010 and it wasnt too bad, if you can install a car stereo you can do it. My dealer is pretty cool and when I had the heater control recall done they flashed the radio for the camera and the trailer brake controller for free.

You can do the lockpick as well, I just didnt want any warranty hassles.

82211184 is the dodge part number, I bought it on eBay from a Dodge dealer in SC, was like 250 shipped.

You will have to get the radio reprogrammed at the dealer.

My local dealer wanted 500 total installed for it, but I installed it myself and they were nice enough to reprogram the radio for free when it was in for a recall.
