Default upgrading to 360 camera system?

currently my truck doesn't have any backup camera, is it possible for my dealer to upgrade my XL to a 360 camera system?

Going to be expensive. You'll need the 8" radio the video processed, cameras, different grill, mirrors, tailgate bezel.

Honestly better to make your own set up with the aftermarket kits and your own screen.

Not to hijack since its kind of related, but what about the front camera? The grill/camera assembly is easy enough to source, but what about the harness?

Same issue as 360. Have to have the video processor.

So does having the front camera automatically mean you have the 360 system?
Looks like lockpick is the only option then...

Not sure on that one but I know multi camera has the processor.

I wish there was a hack into the 4.3" screen so I could flip a switch and it take over. Then I could tandem the wide cameras etc but nope.
