Aftermarket camera systems like the Furrion RV Observation Camera # FOS43TASF are designed as standalone systems and their cameras are not able to integrate with various vehicles' in-dash display screens which are typically a good bit larger than the 4.3-inch screen in this specific system.

You can get a larger image that is easier to see with a different camera system such as the Furrion # FOS05TASF which includes a 5-inch full-color LCD monitor. With this model you can add up to 3 extra cameras if needed.

Yours is a very good question and we are often asked about this same compatibility concern. The main reasons such aftermarket systems are not able to connect to an OEM screen in a vehicle is that all auto makers' screens do not use the same technical standards for image resolution and because auto makers would prefer that you buy their own systems.
