so it looks like it should be good to go. I have two different parts lists that I am going off of. First step for me is getting the security bypass for the OBD I have (my last ram did not need one).

(See the link above, post #107 for more detailed instructions.) Then order the camera and install in the grill. Here are the two parts lists I have compiled:
