I have a 2010 Challenger SRT8 and would like to add a backup camera. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I have a 2011 with the 430 Nav radio. I had the dealer add code XACA (ParkView(TM) Rear Back-up Camera.
Then have them re-flash the TIPM. When you put your trans in reverse, your screen should go dark. Then - just add a camera. I added a MOPAR camera. Love iT!
That sounds promising. Wonder if this would work with a 2010? My radio has Nav but not sure if it’s 430

The programming is really easy to do with the alfaobd app and a suitable connector. I've been poking around my 12 RT and have turned on all kinds of different things. Including my reverse camera that still needs to be put in.

Also this is the camera I picked up after reading up on a different thread. Just swaps out for the license lamp assembly.

Hello JF,
I have a Challenger 2010 which I upgrade the radio with an RHR model. I ordered an after market rear view backup camera with an adapter to connect in C3 connector. I also ordered a V-Link OBD-II adapter and downloaded AlphaOBD app on my cell phone. I am willing to buy the paying version if I can do what you mentionned earlier, if you can guiide me whit the steps to take to make my backup camera working.

Iknow this is an old thread, I do hope you can still reply to my message, or anyone else who can help me with the steps as I am a novice id OBD-II programming because I do not want to mess anything on my car.

Thank's to anyone who could help

I used this interface to connect to the car through alfa obd.

Once connected you will want to enter into the body computer as seen. Then click on the little car with the hood open at the bottom right. That brings you to this page. Open the menu at the bottom and scroll down to car configuration change.

From there enter the lower menu on the next page and select vehicle config 2: Rear camera present.

Once there open the new lower menu select set and the click start. It should update the info to set as shown. Then after a key cycle your deck should look for the camera signal. Hopefully this helps.

Hello JF, First of all thank you for the procedure you sent me. I saw your OBD-II interface so I assume you have a 2015+ Challenger or Charger.... Mine is a 2010 and by checking on Alfaobd website, I found that I would need the OBDlink LX model for my car. I have bought an iCar Pro OBD interface ( Photo 1 ) and even if it is recongnized by the Alfaobd software, it seems it cannont set the parameter for the backup camera because I get an error message after pressing the start button telling me Procedure completed, but status is unknown. No Control Unit Confirmation received for the write request. This usually mean an OBD interface issue. If the problem persist you might need to use a different ODB interface. ( Photo 2 ) According to Alfaodb website I would need this interface ( Photo 4 ). Well I hope this time if I buy another OBD interface that it will work because I know that the camera works when plugged into an external monitor. My radio is a Mygig RHR model with this plug in connector C3 ( Photo 3 ). Could it be possible that the radio needs an extra 12v signal coming from the backup camera ?

I got it !!!! I finally got it. After looking at some pictures, I realized that the adapter that I bought from China had the wrong pins connected. They were connected to pins 8 and 9 instead of 3 and 4. I managed to extract the wires without breaking them and re-insert them in pins 3 and 4 and Eureka !!!! it's working.
Thank you very much for your support and may this help others that buy adapters from China to check it carefully before installing and avoid the problems I had. Here are the pictutres that help me. The adapter cable wrong pinouts.
