In my research while waiting for mine to arrive, this is the one factory feature I didn't order that I wish I had. It may not be the first upgrade I do, but I will get to it. I do appreciate all the work you've put into keeping the documentation up to date on this.
Yeah, but money.
Is a custom harness required?I'm still working on getting all the parts. I need to reach out to @Jimmy07 to get my harness. For now I have a Z-Auto camera in the factory trail cam grille housing.
Yes, Jimmy details it here:
Will this work with the smaller screen?All credit to @bryanklay and @Jimmy07 . His detailed thread here:

...should be the start of your reading, to get the general idea. Do not use Jimmy's thread for the Mopar parts list, use mine. His thread is fine for the Fakra cable needs and the harness. ONLY USE MY LIST for Mopar parts unless he updates his thread. There are some missing parts and a "gotcha" if you have a 2021+ Gladiator.

NOTE regarding Mopar parts. The online diagrams on the Mopar parts sites are often WRONG. For example, the front camera grille section appears wrong on some sites - looks like the non Trailcam grille. The part is right. Another - Hose 2. Looks COMPLETELY wrong on the online docs, like from a completely different vehicle. It is the correct part and fits like a glove. I purchased the parts listed above and they are CORRECT.

CVPM Harness needed:
Either build per Jimmy's thread linked above or PM him and pay him to make you one.
*** END OF PARTS LIST ***
@AllMoparParts.com you should kit the Mopar parts the way you did the Proximity Locks. Would make it less intimidating for people. Make sure you make a year selection in the kit so you ship the correct CVPM as well as a color selection for the correct rear camera. Not sure of the interest this would have. The job looks scarier than it is.
Pics of necessary interior breakdown. I am removing both passenger and driver side sill trim. I am doing the Aux switches install at the same time. Power for CVPM and the Aux switch harness will go passenger side firewall grommet. Front Trailcam video cable goes driver side through MT clutch grommet. ( I have an auto ). The other video cables go passenger side. I didn't want the front cam video cable running parallel with the power wires.
You don't have to remove the front seats or do anything with the center console. The pics show the breakdown needed inside.
This is the factory rear camera cable ( without front trailcam ) to 8.4 head unit connector. You disconnect these from each other. The 8.4 side goes back to the rear cab wall via a new jumper cable that you connect to the CVPM output. The rear camera side gets run to the same place via a new jumper cable, and connects to the rear camera input.
Break the front and rear sill down this far, so you can neatly route the camera and power cables.
Break the rear down this far. The CVPM will go in the currently empty space in the middle.

Before going through with this, do yourself a favor and go test drive one with it. Had I done that, I wouldn’t have installed this. It’s really not much of a help and the picture detail is wanting. Would have saved me over a grand, several hours and many bloody knuckles had I done that.
