So I put tow mirrors on my truck to help with backing up the trailer, this helped a ton for myself. I use the standard tiny 4.7" camera some but the mirrors most of the time and have no issues. My wife cannot back the trailer up to save her (or my) life. says she cannot see the trailer at all using the huge tow mirrors (factory ones extended) My dad also has this issue. No ability to tell where the trailer is. at all. When we boat late on a friday, he always gets the trailer and spends 20 minutes trying to back it into the water. So the question is this. Has anyone got the 2014 xlt and upgraded the HU to something that still plays well with bluetooth/sync, has a nice big screen, and has a better camera that can see more. My father in law has a 2015 xlt with the bigger HU and he can see the tires on his 28' trailer while backing up. Making it much much easier to back it up. The truck is nearly paid off (by december) and I have 0 interest in spending the money the new trucks command.

I believe this is what you are looking for. They use all OEM equipment. I also have seen a site that uses android tablet type technology,


The reviews from that site are hit or miss, but quite a bit cheaper than the OEM solutions.
