XL backup camera upgrade?

[Mtnman1]

Anyone have any success in upgrading the backup camera on thw 21-23 XL?

Is thus as simple as replacing the camera with say one from xlt?

I don’t know how good the cameras are in the XLT’s, but the camera in my 24 XL is really nice. I wonder if it could go on a 22-23?

Agree with this. The camera on my company truck 2024 XL is the same quality as my 24 Lariat.

Hence the question for 21-23 XL. They suck.

Is it a simple camera swap or what else is needed?

No one has attempted this?

Give it a try. The parts cannot be that different. I’m not sure what you are trying to gain though. I have an XL (stx), 2021, and the camera is perfectly clear, wide enough angle of view for backing, good depth of view, and works every time. It’s clear as long as I wipe the road grime off anyway….. is it possible that you have a faulty camera? Defective?

The cameras are the same from xl to Platinum. Same part number

The difference is the signal from IPMA to APIM is Coax(Digital) versus analog for the 8"

For you to improve the picture quality you would have to install the 12" and run the coax to the APIM from the IPMA and then make the programming changes.

All the trucks are digital to the IPMA

Not sure.....picture quality really sucks even with a clean lens. Looks washed out

I installed the 12” + did the digital camera upgrade, could you please inform me of the IPMA + APIM changes that I should do?
