Add a cargo cam to 2021 2500?

I would like to add a cargo camera to view the fifth wheel hitch when backing up. I have a 2921 2500 with the twelve inch screen it has a camera in the 3rd brake light that displays on the rear view mirror. But this only shows over the bed in case something is blocking your rear view mirror.
I can’t seem to find anything for the 2021.
any ideas? Thanks.
 
Are you sure that your CHMSL doesn't have two cameras in it? One for digital rear view and one for cargo camera?

If it doesn't, you'll want to start reading through some of the posts about retrofitting the new digital rearview to 19-20 trucks. There are part numbers for what you'll need buried within some of them, such as this one:

If it does, you can switch to the cargo camera view here

It looks like one camera to me. The rear view flips down and the camera comes on. You can slightly adjust the angle but not enough to see the bed. I don’t see a cargo camera icon. Just a back cam icon.
 
Then it sounds like you'll be needing to buy the new CHMSL with both cameras and add the cargo camera option via something like AlfaOBD.

I'm sure the details about whether or not the wiring is already there, are already included in some of those other threads,
