Product Overview
A black screen, distorted picture, intermittent image, or corroded tailgate camera can make backing and hitch alignment harder. This unit replaces the camera at the original location when the wiring, radio display, and body harness are already present and working.
It is not a complete add-on camera kit. Confirm the truck has the factory connector and compare the camera housing, mounting, plug, and original number.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Radio type, factory sales code, harness, tailgate configuration, and production date affect compatibility. Programming may be required if the vehicle was not previously equipped with a camera.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this add a camera to a truck that never had one? A: No. It is a replacement camera, not a complete retrofit system.
Q: Which numbers does it replace? A: It cross-references the listed 56054041, 56054164, and 68044906 suffixes in matching systems.
Q: Can a broken tailgate wire cause a black screen? A: Yes. Test the harness where it flexes before replacing the camera.
Q: Will it work with an aftermarket radio? A: Only if the radio interface and vehicle wiring support the factory camera signal.
