It is, of course, possible to buy another backup camera to tie into the radio.This exclusive Ram truck back up camera solution is designed for the 2013-2018 Ram 1500 and Ram Heavy Duty trucks. My guess is the signal is not compatible with my aftermarket radio. I like having it in the rear view mirror. I did not try to re-route the backup camera. I am a lot more used to using a Garmin (I have one in my convertible) but Android Auto will work in a pinch. But I just used Android Auto to get there. It is not a new hotel and is a big chain hotel. Recently, for instance, my Kenwood/Garmin would not find my hotel in Mount Pleasant SC. I tried an upgrade from Garmin but that did not work, possibly because I had some music on the SD card I tried to use for the upgrade.
My only disappointment with the Kenwood is it apparently has badly out of date and/or very limited maps. Whatever you get, I would look for a kit from Metra, I think they do a good job with their pieces. If you do not want Navigation there are lots of cheaper touch screen radios out there. I wanted Garmin navigation which is why I went with the Kenwood.
My screen is not quite as large as even the middle sized Ram but I think it has good features overall. The only thing that did not work was the backup light signal which I effectively bypassed. There are a bunch of wires to solder in but then you just plug the new radio in. I had to cut out a sheet metal bracket behind the stock radio. My new radio has wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay, plays DVDs, and interfaces with my phone well for phone calls.
So it had the same crummy radio you apparently have.

I also bought the physical install kit and a parking brake bypass and an antenna adapter.
I used this wiring kit: to install this radio.
