    I used the bypass harness. I’ll take the amp out someday when I have time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    That’s in the Maestro unit. I don’t have all of those options on my truck, but things like DRL, door lock timing, etc., show up in the menu on the unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    I should have taken pictures of this step: I ran the camera wire from the tailgate handle through the tailgate following the factory wiring. Comes out the bottom of the tailgate a little right of center. Followed the factory wire still through the hole to under the bed. That comes out just left...

    You can put in an aftermarket head unit, just finished mine. If it’s a full size unit you’ll have to cut outa bit of plastic from behind the factory unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I use mine to watch my utility trailer sometimes. Good to know about them burning out though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    Yea. The camera has the lines that turn with the truck, but they don’t use steering input. It must be processing it on the camera itself, it’s definitely part of the feed. Whatever algorithm it’s using to see the turn, it’s really slow and will whip around unexpectedly. I’d rather have static...

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    I don’t recommend that camera, after first use. The lines are wonky, and the field of view is narrow. I have another one coming tomorrow that I’ve used before, should be better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    Here’s the camera I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085T925CK Unscrew the lens cap, insert into factory hole, tighten it back up. I use a Maestro RR unit that connects to the factory harness up front, that has a reverse sensor coming out. Both of my Fakra adapters were female on the RCA side...

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    I’m under the truck right now, finishing this up. I removed the OEM camera. In its place I put in an after market camera, fit was perfect, no modification on the hole. From there I used an RCA to Fakra adapter then to the cable the OEM camera used. Up front I used another Fakra to RCA adapter...

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    Just got some pieces in the mail today, and a different camera for worst case. If the cable from the camera goes to the BCM then to the unit, maybe the BCM is powering the camera. It’s a tough one to test. I’m thinking of taking the factory camera out and bypassing the truck wiring just to...

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    Perfect, thanks! That’s the way I’ll go then. That PDF from FCA has the measurements for the camera, just to need to find a match then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    Yea, exactly. Darn. I'll take apart the tailgate and see what I can tap into there then. You might be right on swapping out the camera, even if I have to run a new cable back to the head unit.

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    I don't think mine is digital. I had the Uconnect 3 5" screen, according to this it's analog: https://www.ramtrucks.com/BodyBuilder/service/Image?imageId=MtQrP%2FFqLY5r%2Fest8MtGjGgHzAHGUTU0WB3rWuqSY7YmQ2vEhuBWBGt6QQS3C9d9%0A

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    Adapter came today. My head unit has a female RCA jack, and the adapter does as well. It’s kind of hard finding a male-male RCA adapter locally so ordered that for this weekend. I did try a regular RCA cable between the two, but just get a black screen, same result I get when it’s not...

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    I’ll let you know Wednesday, part should be delivered then. Here’s the link to the adapter I purchased: Fakra Z Male to RCA Female Antenna Extension Cable RG174 25cm Ships from USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GPFWYK2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gtHUEb8C6YA8D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Ordered a Fakra Z to RCA adapter, should be here this week. That should bring back the backup camera. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Replacing 5" UConnect Head Unit

    Update: Worked great. I the radio/truck combo didn’t show any results on the site, but the desktop app had it. Ended up being able to use the short press on the call buttons for volume control and long press for phone. Haven’t confirmed that rear camera doesn’t work, but I’m assuming that the...

    Wish I knew what configurations there are. The only thing I can think of available in my 5” is how long the lights stay on when the doors close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Just the little 5” uConnect. Good to hear! Just got the truck this week, I’m going to pull the unit out this weekend. I have a Kenwood with wireless CarPlay from my ‘15 Ram. Really liked the wire free in that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
