If so.
I have a 2012 Ram 1500 sport.

Is it possible to add the power tail gate lock in it.?
Do they make a kit for said possiblity?

My truck does not have the backup camera system if that makes a difference

Yes. I did it to my 1500 R/T. I also added a backup camera at the same time. https://www.bing.com/search?q=2012+...;refig=2e9b0b6f28fa4ead968c718edfc7db7e. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=2012+ram+1500+backup+camera+kit&crid.

I think you have to have the RA3 radio unit for it to work.

Here's another source. This company also sells a dongle that connects to the OBD-II port and programs the BCM to recognize the backup camera. This kit requires the factory touchscreen radio.

I would think you could possibly use something like one of these seperate screens. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=back+up+camera+screen+for+car.

the backup camera would be nice. But adding an external screen is not for me.

My main interest is the tail gate lock. I recently put a locking tonneau cover on and the truck has a lockable tailgate. And making it power would be nice. aka Convenient

installing the electric lock is pretty easy and I liked the fact it works with your factory remote.

This is what I want.
I see Mopar offers a kit as well. For not much more than the aftermkt kits.
