8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

[MannymanX]

i did this conversion from 8.4 non nav to 12.1. everything works except the ac and heater don't blend . its either hot or cold. is everyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?

Yes, give the truck a couple hours… the modules are still syncing with each other.

Hey guys been following the thread! LOTS of info! Sooo I have a 2021 Ram Laramie with an 8.4 W/NAV.. did the repin, installed and used the OBDMX+ with alphaOBD, changed the ICS(CENTERSTACK) to Disable And the DCSD To ENABLE.. now i gotta wait a couple hours? Or do i disconnect the battery and reconnect and wait? RIGHT NOW... BACK UP CAMERA.. XM ANDRIOD AUTO and Volume and Tune buttons DO NOT work. My clock/time is not synced with my GPS...

Disconnect the battery and wait for 15 minutes, then reconnect it. Then the “couple hours” starts…

Ok i let my truck sit for about an hr i had to go run an arrand but i did not disconnect the battery after the bcm reprogram. During that drive time i noticed the knobs work, xm works( but not subscribed although i am paying for a plan) AND the back up camera does not work.. and ANDROID AUTO gives me Communication Error 8

You have to call SiriusXM and tell them that you replaced your radio and give them your new radio ID. They will send you a refresh signal and XM should work.

Did the back up camera work for you?

 

[Heavyhauler85]

Nope.. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS now.. ANDRIOD AUTO works too.. i did a HARD RESET on the BCM with AlfaOBD.. reprogrammed BCM with the new settings for ICS(disabled) and DCSD(enabled) let yhe truck sit for a day and it all works EXCEPT the backup cam.

NOTE..... backup cam ONLY works if i put it in reverse within the first 5 seconds of turning on the truck or before pressing the "ACCEPT button"**SOMETIMES**.... sooooo the truck reads it and it knows its there... but I HAVE NO IDEA why it doesnt work. If i press the backup cam app i juat get a blue screen. Maybe its a sync/waiting game?? Can anyone chime in?

This guy was saying something about it’s the module that we have to get a different one for the 2021 I have the same year 2021 and im having the same problem but in mine I just get a blue screen when I click on the camera app but it doesn’t activate when I put it in reverse at all

Check out my pics... within 5sec if dont turn it on via remote start... i can drive it in reverse for an hour and it will work.. but once i put it in drive it wont work for that key cycle. MAYBE it might later on HOPEFULLY

$910.20

and in my situation I didn't have to wait even 15min for everything to work.

Maybe recheck connections, I had small issue(don't remember what) but one of the plugs were not pushed in fully.

Ima try and recheck all connections. Like i said, my backup cam only works within the 1st 5sec of starting the radio or sometimes not at all. Seems like a software issue, cause the hardware works... but im going to give it some more time. Just finished a 700mile drive on it. I love it! Just the backup cam issue.

Well I haven’t got back I rechecked everything on the 68317978AL module and I had it for 2 weeks and nothing with my back up camera I order the 68472372Al as I mention to you what someone said and when I changed it every worked quick like less then 10 mins my back up camera was working in reverse and thru the app on the screen I can say it was a successful working mod what about you have you got it to work good?
