Yes, you should be able to. i just installed this stereo in my 2005 F-150 along with an el-cheapo backup camera from Amazon. The picture looks fantastic on this receiver. Of course, you would have to run the wire down to the receiver from your rearview mirror (or run a new wire from the backup camera). This receiver has a "reverse in" wire in the provided harness. I spliced that wire into my vehicle reverse wire (under the dash), plugged in the yellow RCA cord from the camera into "Rear Camera In" port on the back of this receiver, spliced red wire from the camera (ACC power) into the red wire of this receiver's harness, and grounded the black wire (GROUND) from the camera to vehicle chassis. Those are the only 4 connections that are needed. As soon as I throw my truck into reverse, the backup camera immediately kicks in (no matter what was on the receiver previously). It has been working flawlessly. Another benefit of this way of wiring is that you can look behind you anytime you want (without putting the vehicle into reverse) since there is also a "Camera" soft button on the home screen of this receiver that activates any one of the three camera inputs. good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes I have a 2011 KIA Sportage and the Best Buy tech hooked the existing camera up so as soon as I go into reverse the Sony displays the rear camera image automatically. The Sony provides a simple overlay of green/yellow/red bars to assist in judging distances, the overlay is not quite as fancy as the original Kia radio, but perfectly acceptable. Image is clear and sharp. Once on the road driving forward, I found I could go to camera, rear and see behind me on the screen, I guess if I needed to see a license plate number of a car behind me. There is provision to have two additional cameras that can be mounted were ever you wanted, i.e. dash cam input via RCA jacks on the back of the unit.
