Camera Connection
Chassis cabs and box delete pickups equipped with back up camera XAC will have a camera kit shipped in cab of the
vehicle. The kit consists of a user mountable camera and a 10 foot cable. The kit P/N is 68399008AD.
Camera Kit - P/N 68399008AD
One end of the cable plugs into the camera, the other end plugs into the camera connector at the rear of the vehicle.
The connector on the vehicle is a female socket located just to the right of center on the rear frame cross member.
The connector is secured in such a manner that they may be hidden by the harness bundle and may be difficult to see.
Depending on the up fit being installed it may be easier to make this connection prior to installation of the up fit.
Vehicles Built Without Factory Back Up Camera
It MAY be possible to add the factory backup camera to a vehicle that was not equipped with XAC. If the truck has a
UA1 (3” screen) it is not possible. In this case, your only option is to install a MOPAR system or go to the aftermarket.
If the chassis cab has either a 5, 8.4 or 12 inch screens AND the analog camera connector is at the back of the chassis,
the analog camera may be able to be added. The potential issue is with the wiring. The rear chassis harness may have
the connector and associated wiring. The question becomes, is the wiring there in the other harnesses between the
chassis harness and the radio. There is a risk that it is not. There is no way to tell without trying it.
To add the camera you can purchase the camera kit (P/N 68399008AD) from any FCA US LLC dealer. Connect the
camera and cable to the vehicle. The dealer will need to reconfigure the vehicle electronics to activate the backup
camera feature. To do this, the dealer will add sales code XAC to the vehicle VIN in DealerConnect under Vehicle Option
Updates. After the sales code is added, the dealer will run the Restore Vehicle Configurations routine with WiTech.
Once the electronics are reconfigured, the camera view should be displayed in the screen when the vehicle is in
reverse. If that is the case, the camera can be mounted per the instructions below. If the screen display is blue when
the vehicle is in reverse, the wiring is missing somewhere in one or more of the harnesses. In this case, the dealer can
remove the XAC sales code from the VIN and re-run the Restore Vehicle Configurations routine to turn the camera
feature back off. Please note that any associated fees will not be covered under warranty and will be the responsibility
of the vehicle owner or upfitter.
