If you are in a hurry we can do a swap out of your existing 4.2" screen. You would have to buy the new display and then send us your old one as a core.
I'll keep you posted on the progress as I hear something new.

So we would have to buy your complete kit, but with this relay your talking about, will there be a new kit that has the camera minus the mirror so we can use the 4.2" screen? and do we have to send our old screen to you?

I've just been informed over the weekend that in the next month we will have a module that will program your existing display and allow our camera input into the 4.2" screen. The module will actually program to your specific VIN so you will not lose any of your current features.

What about installation? I'm not keen on doing major dash surgery so I would go with the display in the mirror if the install was more simple.

I'm still waiting on more details on the 4.2" screen so I'll have more information available soon.
For those with 2013 or newer the mirror kit is still an easier install because you don't have to tear your dash apart. You can get our standard CS-FTR-332 kit and not even have to relocate your gyro since there is no gyro in the mirror in these late model trucks. The gyro kit is for 2011-2012... maybe some early 2013 but you can always unplug your mirror and test the compass to be sure. If you have a 2013+ the gyro mirror would still allow you to use your current mirror connector but 2 or 3 wires will need to be added to make it work. It costs more and if you don't need the gyro honestly it's overkill.
If you don't have to relocate your gyro it's a simple mirror swap, splice in the new mirror harness and camera harness, install the camera hardware and you're done. It's a clean setup and no one will ever know that it wasn't installed at the factory.
If you currently have a factory installed camera displaying in your rear view mirror converting it to the 4.2" will not be a simple plug and play change. I'll have more information on what is involved in that process once we get the interface worked out.
Stay tuned for more...

Thanks for the reply, Chris. I appreciate the guidance.
I tested my '13 per your instructions and I don't need the gyro mirror so you saved me $50!
I'm looking forward to my kit coming and hope to install it this weekend.

You will need to add the two video wires to your existing mirror connector then route the video cable down the drivers side a-pillar to mate the added RCA to your camera. Then you will need to add the BCM wire to pin 2 of the factory connector and route it to the passenger kick panel (provided you don't already have a wire in pin 2 of your mirror connector).
So in total you will add 3 wires, maybe only 2 to your factory connector. No rerouting the entire harness and splitting open your old mirror to relocate the gyro.
