Yes, it will Mark. Your upgraded OEM head unit is the same one used in the instruction manual for the Brandmotion SummitView Backup CMOS Camera for Custom Display item # BM35FR. I have linked these instructions below so you can see how to get this camera set up.

Hey Mark, did you have a chance to set up the camera with your upgraded OEM head unit? I'm asking because your experience could help others with a similar setup.

Does this require factory programming to activate the camera?

@DaveC It depends on what kind of radio you have. The Brandmotion SummitView Backup CMOS Camera for Custom Display item # BM35FR will not need to be programmed if you have an aftermarket head unit but it will need to be if you're connecting the factory one.
