    Tradesman Upgrade

    So I've got a Tradesman with an RA1 radio and I can't stand it.

    I know an RA2 is a really easy upgrade but I had a few questions.

    I have a rear view camera.

    Is there a way to convert that to a screen view?

    Can I add a factory sub?

    I haven't fussed with any car audio since the early 2000s.

    So I'm way out of my realm.

    Infotainment makes a harness to add a yellow aux camera. I used that with a Amazon tailgate camera handle and wired the power into reverse lights on 7pin hitch Under the Rear end. It works great

    I already have the camera. It just shows from the rear view. And I want it to come out if the screen from an upgraded ra2 or an 8.4"

    I'm not sure about the camera but you will need more parts to add the factory sub. The sub requires an amp that honestly, going aftermarket will sound better and be significantly cheaper. Kicker makes a hideaway sub that goes under the back seat that is really nice and comes as a complete kit.

    I do not have this in my truck but have heard it in person.

    When you consider the cost of purchasing an aftermarket amp, wiring, box and sub separately it's a decent value.

    Here's the link to amazon but if you hunt around you may can find it cheaper.
