i got my inspiration from this post:
"If you are just looking for the camera, the commander back up camera part # 82211293 works. We have been adding them to a few of our in stock Wrangler Unlimiteds an mounting in the rear bumper. The spare is barely seen at the very top." by

and this post:
I am researching this now. There are quite a few people on other Chrysler forums with the same nab radios doing this mod.
You do NOT need the Lockpic/NavTV to add just the back up camera function-just the camera. It does not just work after being hooked up. It requires the dealer to reprogram the appropriate accessory function as being installed with the VIN to activate the radio to display the video in reverse. I do not know if it will work with a manual transmission at this time, the vehicles the add on is made for are all automatic only (Commander and Grand Cherokee) and the forums I have browsed so far, all the installations were on automatic vehicles (not Grand Cherokees or Commanders) with the appropriate radios.
These install instructions display what the dealer has to program.

with this PDF, i was able to get the basic idea.
then got the detailed instructions from DrHude from other forum, but basically:
I finished my install of my Mopar #82211293 backup camera and it works great. I installed everything last weekend and then took it to the dealer to have the accessory turned on.
I was due for an oil change so I had the dealer do that while I was there and they turned on the camera for free, A great dealer. When they were done I would get a dark screen that said "Check Your Surroundings" so I knew they had it turned on but that I must have something wrong. I went home and after a little bit of diognostic work found that I did not have the terminals properly seated in the camera connector. You have to remove or slide forward the red plastic cover on the connector end that goes into the camera to get the terminals fully seated (you will feel them snap into place), then reinstall red cover to lock them in place. I also had to drill out the #6 opening in the connector cover, it had a plastic barrier in the way. I dissassembled the connector to prevent damaging the internals while drilling. I mounted my camera in an electrical hobby box so that I could move the camera out a little and angle it down to get the spare tire out of the picture. You can see by the picture it worked. I realize that this location makes the camera a little more vulnerable but I use a 3" drop receiver and you can clearly see the ball so if you pay attention while hooking up there shouldn't be a problem. I can also confirm that on the white
C3 radio connector you use terminals 3, 4, and 5. You count the big terminal opening on the end as #1 and the the second small opening is #3 (camera signal). #4 is camera return and #5 is for the sheild wire. I really appreciate every ones posts on this project, it really made it easier for me, the only thing that tripped me up was the camera connector pin issue, other than that it was a piece of cake.
