My suggestion was implied by the title. I intentionally wrote it that way to attempt to not direct a suggestion to anyone in particular. But I apologize for the post. I didn't realize the answers I received would be so similar in tone to those people posting on yahoo Mail. I'll have to look...

Hopefully this won't get me banned. I taught school school for many years and if a student asked me a question and I replied "I already answered that go look it up", I would have been fired rather quickly. People learn in different ways and I needed to to explain in ways they best understood...

I understand what you are saying. Maybe delete my mention of a 360 system. Just how to get the mirror apart.

The systems I see for sale today have cameras to be installed in existing mirrors. Have to drill a hole in the bottom and then route the wiring into the door. These systems are quite inexpensive, They can provide replacement tailgate handles even. All I need is how to get the mirror apart.

I read your post. My question was just how hard to install cameras in mirrors which you skipped. Everything seems pretty straightfoward except for that. Any input there? I'm thinking about the birds eye system with a separate screen.

Thinking about installing aftermarket 360 camera system. 2023 Big Horn 1500. Standard mirrors. How hard to get them apart enough to install the side cameras and route the wiring? .

Is there an android program that will put a picture on my 8.4" display. I don't need maps all the time and the Ram screens are pretty dull. "

The dealer showed me how to reset the 8.4" display. Push and hold the two physical control buttons for 10 seconds with the engine running. It reset. However, he first tried it with the engine not running, that didn't work. It's been working fine since.

Depends on what I want to add to it. Also, the relay isolates any device from whatever that particular connection is used for. It's always best to use a relay between any device and the battery.

Well almost, it tells me to turn the switch to run or start the engine. And that is all except for a lean menu at the top and bottom. It does recognize the android app, but will not load it. Tells me to turn the ignition on when driving down the street. Is there a way to poke it or take it...

An update: I cannot find a wiring diagram that I can decipher and since I don't know how much current I can draw from that spade lug, I'm going to put a relay in. Just use the spade lug to control the relay. It's close to the battery and I can draw current from the battery and not have to...

Thanks.

Thanks. I can get gas at the same station and get mpg that varies 1 to 1.5 mpg between pumps and between 20 gallon fill and 10 gallon fill. I'm leaning toward thinking that the mpg states quoted by the manufacturer and what we get when we calculate it are affected by commercial fuel pumps...

Well, John, someone was getting annoyed and hateful. How can I ask why if I don't mention it? When I say I only asked for information, I was obviously referring to my original post. Just trying to figure out what I did. I used the plural they to try not to target anyone. However, the...

I am genuinely surprised at the angst I've created by asking about the mpg calculation. I'm not and have not questioned anyone's answers. Any information can be useful. Anyone's information is welcome. If I ask for an explanation I'm not denigrating you. I have asked for explanations when...

John, all I asked for was information. You are welcome to accept, or decline to answer, that is your right and no one else's. I respect your rights. If you don't want to answer, just don't, but I will be the judge of what I want to learn and what I want to do with it. I would like to know...

I wasn't questioning your knowledge or what you said, I just didn't/don't know what you are talking about. Sorry if you don't want to answer my questions.

Certainly, the programming is in fact a mistake, but the computer is correct. Computers don't make mistakes. I meant this post as information gatheiring on my part, I did not anticipate people getting annoyed and hateful. I'm NOT talking about you.

If I want to understand what is actually happening it does matter. Certainly, the center console mpg calculator does not use the actual total miles driven divided by gallons. But it also is based on some repeatable and consistent parameters. The computer doesn't make mistakes, it does what it...
