Adding OEM Front Camera?

[Kimkeys99]

There won’t be any wires present in positions 21/22. Pry the red face of the connector off, insert the wires, the put the red terminal lock back on.

Thanks!! I will finish this up tonight then.

Got it all hooked up and working. I had to wait on the correct TE connector. For the 2020 Limited it is definitely 21/22 pins. Thanks for the help!

I've ordered a front mount tag holder that is wifi and connects to an app.
No wiring needed.
I hope it works.

Got a link for what you went with? Been looking at a couple different ones.

i have a 2020 rebel, with the 12" screen. I would like to add the OEM front camera, is this just a buy the parts, plug them all in and using alfa/witech turn it all on? (is that even possible?)

I used the AlfaOBD app (only on android) to active the camera. It was $49

I didn’t want to buy a new grill plate so, I used this sanding file (it matched the exact size of the camera) and filed down under the “A” in the front grills RAM logo and it fit in there perfectly.

What is the name of the menu item in the Alfa OBD app, or what do I have to select? And how do I get there? Thank you very much.

So is this not required to get the front camera working?

No, you don’t need that to add the front camera

I want to add just a factory cargo cam. Anyone know if the 2500 cargo cam 3rd brake light fits ours? Maybe there’s a good aftermarket option?

Not sure, but 21 1500 now has cargo cam integrated led 3rd brake light option.

The 2500 CHMSL won’t fit on a DT.

That camera is different than a cargo camera. It is for the digital rear view mirror, and looks straight back rather than down into the bed.

Sorry if I missed it before, but can you post a pic of the finished camera in the grille? I'm trying to buy as few parts as possible if I can. also how did you mount the camera to the grill, with a bracket or some type of epoxy?

I just filed the grill down and made sure that it was a tight fit. The file was the exact size for the camera housing. So it really tight to the point I can’t pull it out without breaking it.

Anyone figure out why some folks use pins 21/22 compared to pins 24/25 on others. Is it model or option specific that makes it vary from truck to truck.

If you have this style grill, get this part! Make your life easy, and install look factory, not chopped up. I also have another style that I’ll be posting up for sale soon.

What is the PN on that? Mopar has a couple that look very similar, but it’s hard to tell from the drawings exactly what one I need. I have your same grill. Also, did you buy any of the camera brackets that would go behind it and work to make it fit with an aftermarket camera?
