Tow Vehicle Camera; Integrate to Trailer Camera?
I have a 2013 Chevy Express Van with a back-up camera. Just purchased a 23MRB and want to install a back-up Camera. Is there anyway I can just splice into the TV camera and run the TT camera off the same system. This would be clean and simple.

I would check with Van dealer and order camera from them , splice wires on new one and plug into van. There is a plug in connection for the factory camera under rear of truck.

Thank you, really appreciated. Note how many have viewed the post but you are the only one with an idea. I will call Chevy tomorrow.

I'd also do some deep google searching.
For example, when searching this same idea for my Ford F150 I found a Ford 150 owners forum similar to this forum for Jayco owners. On that forum I found several discussions on how to integrate external backup cameras to the Ford Sync system. Turns out there are people making hardware to enable this - giving you the ability to switch between cameras on the dash system.
I opted not to do that - as the changes were pretty invasive and probably warranty voiding.
But still - remember Google is your friend - I'll bet you're not the first Chevy owner who's wanted to do this.

I haven't researched this myself, but apparently there's cameras that will connect to your smartphone via BlueTooth or WiFi, something like this, for example:
4UCAM WiFi Backup Camera for iPhone/iPad and Android
(I'm not saying this is the best one, just the first hit when I searched. )

Thanks, I have looking into this. Commercial trailer company recommended an $800 wifi system. Many contributors debate wired vs. wifi. Doesn't seem to be a clear choice either way.
