Backup camera question

if you have tech package can you retrofit back up camera easily, found a camera is the rear lid pre wired for it and just programming the drive system involved, or wiring also? thanks

No idea. It seems built into the bumper. My bumper in snow season gets so dirty/filmy from road salt spray that I can barely see out from the camera, the image is so blurry. I almost hit a white car hidden in front of a snow bank. Not sure how much I value having the camera, I look out the back window instead. YMMV.

Built into the bumper? My camera is installed on the rear hatch, in the upper portion of the licence plate recess.
Not sure if it's pre wired or if there's just a removable blanking plate where the camera would go.....I would hazard a guess that it is likely pretty much a plug and play + coding thing though.

You need to clean your lens, man! It is located above the right side of the licnese plate.
