To use the Crux RVCCH75D rear-view camera for your 2013-2017 Dodge RAM, follow these steps:
Installation:-
Tools Required: You'll need screwdrivers, a trim removal tool, wire strippers, electrical tape, and possibly a drill (for custom mounting).
-
Disconnect Battery: Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery to avoid short circuits.
-
Remove Factory Tailgate Handle:
- The camera replaces or integrates into the existing tailgate handle.
- Use the appropriate tools to remove the handle, ensuring you follow the specific steps for the Dodge RAM.
-
Install the Camera:
- Mount the camera in place of the existing handle (or in the spot designated for installation).
- Secure the camera, ensuring it’s facing correctly.
-
Route the Wires:
- Run the camera cable along the chassis or through the tailgate to the front of the vehicle.
- Be careful to avoid areas where the wire could get pinched or damaged.

Connect Power and Video Signal:
- Connect the camera’s power cable to the reverse light power wire (usually found in the tail light harness). This will power the camera when the vehicle is in reverse.
- Route the video signal cable from the rear to the head unit or display.
-
Test the Connections:
