First off, I've learned from all the contributors who have gotten this mod documented and completed. I wanted to share my attempt with others who have a 2022 Bighorn. As we all know, parts change and we all want to know which part/part numbers work with our specific year. When I ran into issues, I spent hours reading through and searching all the past treads. I want to consolidate and share what I ran into when trying to complete this mod. So this is my way of contributing. Again, I couldn't have done this without everyone who successfully completed this and those helping out and guiding me in the right direction!
Part numbers that worked on my 2022 Bighorn
5602 9964AF CVPM
7KJ43RPXAA Tailgate handle <== Replace "RPX" whith your 3 letter color code of your truck.
68341467AC Emblem Backing Plate NOTE: This will not just fit on the grill of a 2022 BH because it is one whole piece. I found a 2021 Laramie grill cheap on offer up.
68529657AA Handle Spacer Yes you will need this
68341480AB Camera Bracket
68365873AB Camera Bracket
68322480AD Jumper Wiring Optional but I would recommend it
68144068AD You will need 4 of these cameras eventhough you have a rear camera already. As discussed in many other threads. These have a wider angle of view.
CVPM harness for power. There are many who can offer this or you can make it yourself. I got one from Jimmy07.
Cables you can find on the "HOW TO" here
NOTE on cameras:
If you buy mirrors with cameras in them, these will work. I bought 4 used mirrors with cameras (ranging from 100 to 125 bucks) that had the BSM because I also added the BSM mod to my truck.
Alpha OBD, SGW bypass (any will do) and OBDLink MX+ (MX+ specifically because it will be needed for calibration) is needed to configure changes to the computer. I will add that most have been successful with calibration with plugging the ODBLink directly into the factory OBD port. I was not successful. I had to leave the SGW bypass plugged in and OBDLink connected to it to successfully calibrate my cameras.
Alpha OBD settings that need to be changed. This may have been obvious to long time Alpha users but you can search for settings that you do not see. I did not know this. I was working off of my printed out copy of my backup. I would highlight the changes and go down the list and tick them off as I made changes. That way, I hopfully didn't change anything by mistake. It's always good to have a backup.
Alpha settings can also be found here
VehConfig 1: Rear View Camera- NO
VehConfig 2: CHMSL Camera- NO
VehConfig 7: Full Central Vision Processing Present- YES

You will need to search when connected to Alpha for the settings highlighted in RED. If you do not enable these, you will not have the Surround view icon on your radio display. Thanks @Stepanchina
Anyone else who has done this to a 2022 Bighorn and ran into issue please pipe in on how you fixed it.
