Post in thread 'HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System'

So it kinda works now. I changed it from MY22 to 20 and force calibration on all cameras. That seems to work but the sides are a little off and now my surround button is gone and soft keys dont work. But when I click on rear camera I get the 360 view with lines.

Also, what is the side view suppose to look like? I plugged in my front camera into side view and I could see it all, but when I plug in my side mirror cameras I get a zoomed image on the tires.

What I did is calibrate all cameras separately, when I force it calibrate all cameras its kinda worked. Started with front...

After installing the 360 Surroundview Camera System, I decided to put this together to help others. I know there are several others who have done this. If you have any extra input, please let me know. I will start with the parts list first. Make sure to read the notes. You may need to find the correct part number depending on your configuration or color. It was about $1200 using used items. About $2200 new.

Parts List
1 of CVPM - 68318033AI (Uconnect 4) or 56029964AF (UConnect 5)- This goes in the passenger kick panel. It comes with the mounting bracket.
4 of Camera - 68144068AD - It is...

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.

It wasn't skipped. Did you read the part about replacing the entire mirror? In the post, others have just bought cameras and installed them in their mirrors, but you will need used mirrors. The reason is because the bracket that holds the mirror isn't available to purchase. You can do what I others did and buy junkyard mirrors and take the harness, bracket and camera out and put in yours. You will need to drill a hole for it in the mirror housing. More information in the thread.

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

There are videos on YT on it. The hardest and most delicate part is removing the mirror glass. There are several ways to do it. One is too use a body suction cup to pull it off. Others say to tilt the mirror down all they way and use a screwdriver to pry on the back of it. Broke my first one that way. Suction cup worked better for me.

I would add be aware of the temperature for the mirror glass removal.

Good note. Yes, the warmer the better. Or use a heat gun to gently raise the temp.
