Features

GM Backup Camera Harness: The BACKUPCAM-3 harness is designed specifically for GMLAN29 vehicles that have a factory (OEM) installed back-up camera and displays its back-up image on the factory head unit's monitor. The BACKUPCAM-3 harness lets you retain your GM vehicle's factory back-up camera so it can be viewed through your newly installed aftermarket head unit.

Note: If your vehicle's factory backup camera image is displayed in the rear-view mirror, then you will not need this harness. The factory backup camera's image will continue to display on the rear-view mirror and cannot be integrated into an aftermarket head unit's display.

Make Model Year

Q
Would this work on a 2016 ram 1500? With the RA2 head unit? The connection going to the radio looks like a mini USB. if not, can someone please direct me to a cable or adapter that would work?

Greetings Scott, and thank you for your question. The Metra BACKUPCAM3 is for GM vehicles, so unfortunately its not going to work on your RAM. We do have options for the 2016 RAM. Please call 800-324-9695 and speak to one of our advisors for more information.

Q
i have a 2016 gmc canyon and what i thought was the camera harness doesn't fit the adapter when this site says it will fit. is this website wrong?

I will say that the Canyon has an asterisk that says it must have one of two option stereos. If you did not check that then that could be the reason it is wrong.

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.

Q
I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500hd LTZ with the mylink 8" screen. I bought an add on camera interface with a RCA input for a rear camera. Can I use this adaptor with my factory tailgate reverse camera instead of running new wires and new camera to the rear of the truck?

I'm not sure, I used this adapter when I replaced the factory stereo on my 2014 Silverado. I was able to keep the tailgate reverse camera.
