Front Camera Install (Link below)

[tbrown110]

Thinking about installing a front camera on a 2025 Bighorn. Anyone done this before? Trying to see if it was a plug and play or needed some tech resets etc. If you have better options that look good, let me know!

Here's what I'm looking at getting: OE Fit Grille Front Camera Kit for Factory 8" or 12" Navigation Display, Fits 2022-2024 RAM® 1500

I’m interested too. Wondering how helpful they are with parking and safety.

I highly doubt that this will work with 2025 - Different wiring, etc.
Need Jimmy's input on this.

Unfortunately makes sense. I'm a newbie here, who's Jimmy?

I read that the majority of the wiring is different so I don’t think it will work. Going to follow this as I would like to add the front camera too if possible.

Thanks for that, hopefully some new cams will be out soon. It's a shame it's not a standard mod.

I added the camera to my 2019 Laramie and was able to program it. You don't need to spend 750 for this
There is a comprehensive thread on camera and how to add it. I spent $100 for the camera and connectors. (assuming at some point we can program 2025)

I'd love to not spend that much. I'll start searching for the thread. Any chance you have a link to what you bought?

I dont remember the brand -- link below (34 pages) has a lot of info. But only applicable through 2024 MY

Adding OEM Front Camera?

I did a search and couldn't find anything. Can you install an OEM front camera and have it go through the radio like the rear one does? that is if your truck did not come with it. I think it would be very helpful for parking situations when it's a very tight fit. example: I back into my...

Found it. Worked OK on my 2019. Fully integrated in to my 12" screen. Many other members have used this camera (Pre-25 MY)

You will not be able to use something for a 2019 to 2024 Ram. The canbus is different and not compatible. If doesn't use the canbus, then you should be fine. But there is no way to program anything yet. The canbus is encrypted.

Thanks for the help, super helpful. Might just have to wait a bit in that case.

Has anyone been able to install an integrated front camera on 2025 yet?

In the cameras section in your radio, do you have the AUX 1 and AUX 2 camera soft keys?

Hi Jimmy
No
Only rear camera control

Nothing you can do right now. Once alfaobd is able to configure for 2025’s, it’ll basically be the same install procedure as the previous rams.

Following... just bought a 2025 Rebel X without the front camera.

Do we have any updates on when AlfaOBD will be available for the 2025 & later trucks?

I know that I've listened to a couple different techs at my dealership complain about the Atlantis High architecture and how difficult it is to work with but, unless the architecture is a complete mess, I kinda think they're complaining because they haven't done the training and updated their procedures because some of the things they complain about don't really make sense from a software engineering perspective....

I'd LOVE to be able to sit down with someone knowledgeable (Jimmy????) and ask questions.

Any updates from anyone on adding a front camera to 2025 RAM? I have a 2025 Texas Editions (basically a BIGHORN) with the 3.0 I6 Hurricane SO and it only came with a rear camera. Any idea what it would cost if we just took truck to a RAM dealership and asked them to install one?
