Not exactly sure on the year but you'll need to get some relays to make each one work. I bought the front facing camera that works with it. There's a relay for the steering wheel controls and a different relay for the rear camera. I have them on my 2010 and it all works.

For it to fit in the dash bezel there are a few options, depending on what your truck came with or currently has. 1) if your truck came with factory navigation, look at the Metra 99-6510 kit 2) if your truck came without navigation, look at the Metra 95-6528B kit. This does require cutting the stock bezel. 3) alternate to both, there are aftermarket double din replacement bezels for the Ram on Amazon and Ebay, which is the route I went. For this you will need to enlarge the whole for the unit though For the cameras, as long as the cameras you have use yellow RCA jacks, no special equipment is needed. For steering wheel controls, there are two basic options, the first is more expensive but easier, the second is a bit more work, a bit more stuff to cram behind the unit, but about 30% less cost. 1) iDatalink Maestro RR Interface Module 2) PAC C2R-CHY4 Wiring Interface *** AND *** PAC SWI-CP2 Steering Wheel Control Adapter In addition to all this, there are a few other bits and pieces. 1) an Antenna Adapter will be needed to get radio reception. If you get the aftermarket bezel, it might come with one, otherwise look at Metra 40-CR10 Antenna Adapter 2) if you have a factory installed satellite radio antenna and want to retain it, but are getting a new satellite radio tuner with this, look on Amazon for an adapter made by Bingfu Lastly, make sure you disconnect your battery during the install. If you don't, there is a good chance you will burn out the little lightbulb in the passenger airbag switch, which will cause the dash light to come on. If that happens, you have to replace the switch to fix the light.
