Okay good to know. A.R.E. brand doesn't fit around the cameraI have a LEER top and it does not interfere with the cargo cam \ lights other than they are now useless but it fits fine, the top is molded to fit around the light.

Yes, I'm going to try the same thing. I'll post later on how the process worked or didn't work. ThanksI replaced my CHMSL with a cheap non-camera LED version from Amazon. I removed the camera from the light and tucked it back into the headliner, so for now that camera is just black.
I do have a plan to eventually try and run a harness into the shell and modify the brake light on the shell itself, but the list of to-dos ahead of this is quite long.

Thanks! Yes please do post details on how you do it and how it worked.Yes, I'm going to try the same thing. I'll post later on how the process worked or didn't work. Thanks
This is the one I ordered, but I assume any of the competing products would work the same.Thanks - Do you have a link to the one you used?
I don't have my truck yet so can't look, but was it a simple unscrew to remove and replace with Amazon version?
Thanks - Interesting that sellers do not update their compatibility. That light says it fits up to 2018 models. But that may be only because it won't work with the camera. You fit it to your 2020 so unless there is a size change on the 2021s, I would think it would work on those also.And yes, there are two screws and two plugs to disconnect. The replacement will only have the one plug (no camera connection).
The camera itself can be removed from the stock light if you want. I wrapped mine in a little plastic, reconnected it via the plug and then tucked it into the headliner behind the new replacement. But I assume you could also simply leave it unplugged.
It's not the sellers, it's an Amazon error. I have run into so many cases where Amazon data is wrong. If the data is critical I call the manufacturer. Every manufacturer or distributor I have contacted said they have problems with Amazon updating product data.Thanks - Interesting that sellers do not update their compatibility.

Yeah. But I would assume 90% or more of the sellers have never even seen one of their products, let alone tested them on different models to confirm compatibility. I decided to take the small risk based on reports from others who successfully installed 4.5 gen CHMSL cameras into 4th gen trucks (and knowing I could always return it through Amazon).Thanks - Interesting that sellers do not update their compatibility.

Okay I got confirmation today that A.R.E. camper shell is compatible with the cargo camera. The A.R.E. distributor in my area gave me bad info. Thank you for all of your replies....
I received this picture from A.R.E. today, I think it is an MX cap.Okay I got confirmation today that A.R.E. camper shell is compatible with the cargo camera. The A.R.E. distributor in my area gave me bad info. Thank you for all of your replies....
It isn't an MX. The MX doesn't stay even with the roof line of the cab, it bumps up. I'd guess that is a CX.
Didn't you follow up that post in the other thread that ARE responded again, saying that it actually does not fit perfectly because at the center or that curved area the shell does not seal tight from water on the box/bed of the truck? It was a little hard to understand exactly what was meant so if you could clarify which part of the redesigned ARE shell potentially allows water in the bed? Thanks!I received this picture from A.R.E. today, I think it is an MX cap.
