Description
Restore clear reversing visibility with this OEM-style tailgate handle camera designed to replace Mopar part number 56038978AL. This camera integrates with the factory system to bring back a stable rear view image when the original unit has failed or become water-damaged.
⚠️ IMPORTANT – MUST READ BEFORE ORDERING (PART NUMBER CHECK REQUIRED)
Many Mopar tailgate cameras look almost identical but use different electronics and connectors.
Do not order until you have removed your existing camera and confirmed the part number on the original unit.
Please do not order based only on vehicle model, registration, year, or appearance, as this can lead to ordering the wrong part.
Your original part number must match 56038978AL.
Connector Type
6-pin connector – must match your original camera’s connector exactly.
High-Quality Imaging
Wide-angle rear view camera designed to provide a clear, stable image when reversing, comparable to the original factory-fitted unit.
OEM-Grade Build
Manufactured to OEM standards with a durable housing, weather-resistant sealing and precise mounting points for a secure fit in the original tailgate handle assembly.
Compatible Part Number
56038978AL
Related Harness Part Numbers (for reference)
Some installations also use Mopar short harness 68189124AC and tailgate harness 68224929AA – these are not supplied with this camera.
Vehicle Compatibility (GUIDE ONLY – PART NUMBER MATCH IS ESSENTIAL)
