Surroundview camera

[Ortiz7983]

So am I able I to add just a front camera? Buying the cable and front camera and hooking it up?

Thanks for the Vehicle info -- yes, have had to replace a couple and install for some aftermarket items at the shop.

I pulled part of my dash out (for another project) and took a photo of the rear of the head unit for you .. Unable to actually confirm the connections as mine goes into that fat harness and not able to trace it out properly today. As you can see, though, the "TAB" on the red connector is physically larger than the rest. That White one goes to the Display itself (aka the radio is actually 2 pieces - the Head Unit and the Remote Display (8.4 or 12)).

the 4 on the right (I didn't pull the one on the left by itself) I belive are different antenna connections.
off the top of my head we have at least - Wifi, Bluetooth, Cellular, XM, AM/FM all to deal with which lines up with the 5 antenna looking connectors.

the camera inputs are definitely on the big loom at the bottom of the head unit. I had to add a couple of pins for the CHMSL input on mine and it was... difficult until I trimmed back the tape on the loom a bit and clipped out the zip tie holding the loom in place.

Any updates on the effort?
thanks

They shouldn't charge us anything (or certainly not as much), because we've already paid for it. My window sticker shows the 360 camera as part of a package that was added to the cost. Then they charge more for the Tow Package but don't show a discount for the three cameras being deleted, so we definitely paid for something we never got..

Maybe we should ask a lawyer?

This is a great thread. I am thinking of adding the 360 camera and folding mirrors in. So, I already have lane departure,active cruise, rear tailgate camera, and 12 inch display. How complex will it be to add the 360 view. I figured the most expensive part is adding the mirrors.

mirrors, door module for mirrors, central vision processor, front cam and a LOT of labor.

I would expect also a bit of work on the alfaobd end of things.

Is it possible to have some calibrating done to the surroundview after having a level installed?

I am new to this forum looking forward to creating my account in detail and upgrade my ram 2500! I have laramie 2500 cummins and didnt see I didnt get the 360 camera until after.. I am electrician on the side and a controls(electrical) tech at my work. The labor isnt my worry, is it possible to do this myself? I have folding mirrors. Mainly want the 360 view or birds eye view. From what I'm reading g it's a camera module I install thatll send the camera signals for all cameras in through the one connection. I also would like to eventually add the tow camera which I think I can just buy from mopar according to my research

Then do I buy the hardware to have cameras professionally installed by ram dealership?: I'd assume they have a very specific install location. Any help works!

Start back around post #130... looks complicated as all get out. I read 4 pages and it only seems one guy has submitted proof he got it done.

I think I’d rather just buy a 2021 with it!

This is becoming more of a sad realization. I had hopes this would be an easy upgrade.

Maybe by 2021 they will give the hemi a power boost to stay competetive with Ferd and GM, and fix the ac blend door and the forward camera. I’d think theres a few other tsb’s that will be incorporated by then as well.

Actually sounds like a smart thing, wait for a 21’ or trade up from the 2019.
I won’t have the coin to do that however I’d like to. The way that MSRP’s keep climbing, that would be an $80K Limited by then...

 

[Ortiz7983]

I’ll just stick to my Ram. I’m not going to trade it in and they pay the same monthly but pay more for it. I’m fine with what it is.

If you already have power folding heated mirrors do you still need to update the existing door modules to add cameras? I've seen in another thread if you want to add blind spot all u have to do is replace the mirrors and tail lights and it uses the same door modules I would have thought it would be the same for the cameras and just need to add the cables to each camera?

Any progress on 360 or just the front camera?

 

[g00fy]

I just finished installing all the hardware in my 2019 2500 tradesman. I can individually access all the cameras, I have trailer view, etc, but the truck refuses to give me the actual 360 view. I enabled everything I need to enable in Alfaobd, and whenever I try to calibrate the 360 system the front camera always fails. Don't know if anyone here can help get over this last stupid hurdle.

 

[Ellisstrong]

Does anyone know if the surroundview cameras can be recalibrated by the dealer? My front camera since I leveled my front end and my rear camera since they replaced my rear handle under warranty are both skewed a little.

The dealer can do it, or you can do it with the PC version of Alfa obd

 

[g00fy]

Does anyone have access to a service manual that might explain the 360 camera calibration process in detail?? The truck and Alfaobd just say drive straight between 2 & 8mph to allow the system to calibrate, but the front camera keeps failing and I don't know if maybe there's more to it that I'm missing.
