Default Add backup camera to uconnect 5.0

I've read a lot of back and forth on this subject and have seen write ups that work with the uconnect 5.0 with backup camera.

Is there a mopar kit or part numbers I can reference for this?? The less "customization" the better. Ideally plug and play or something the dealer will support/install.

Here is the complete kit. Not a difficult install, just tedious.

Once you do the install you will need to have the dealer "flash" the truck to wake up the camera.

What does it typically cost to have the dealer flash the truck? And would I have to tell them anything specific to do or just that I installed the camera?

I believe the code for the backup camera is "XAC" even if it cost you $100 it would be cheaper than anything else. Private message me your email and i will send the directions that I got with mine for the dealer flash.
