You guys with the reverse camera problems, what software version is the module your running?

You guys with the reverse camera problems, what software version is the module your running?

it wasn’t just the software version it was the module problem mine was a 21 and I was using a 19-20

 

[Nieto91]

yours works in 19-20 and I had to buy this one that is only for 2020 what will be the difference apart from the price

This was the one that I’m currently using now and everything worked good now atm haven’t had any problems

I had the same issues you guys are having when i put a very Early 2019 1500 Module into my 2019 2500. Was missing the clock and reverse camera refused to work, just a blue screen. I suspect this is because the first 5th gen 1500's and 12" UAX came out before the 4.5 gen 2500's came out, so the firmware didn't support my 2019 2500.

I sent some messages and did some homework and found a firmware update that was a year newer, uploaded that firmware and the next morning, my reverse camera worked and all of the glitches i was experiencing were gone.

I've now uploaded firmware from August 2021, same firmware used on the 2021 modules, into my 2019 2500 to unlock features I didn't previously have on my old firmware. I'm willing to bet it's all the same hardware with different firmware versions on it. I highly doubt Ram would waste the money Spec'ing out new hardware for 1 model year before they actually do change the module completely for 2022.

@Jimmy07 Do you have any input on this?

Yes, I would definitely recommend those that bought a 2019-2020 radio module for a 2021 truck to do the software update first before buying a 2021 radio, as that is most likely the issue.

Sorry for the late reply.... no have not.. i went into the Alfa OBD and tried to mess with every camera setting. I turned on all the cams, front rear, trailer etc.. the buttons come on but nothing works Obviously... my rear cam stopped working within the 5 sec of starting.. where did u get that module and how much? Its not a BIG inconvenience BUT it is kinda annoying that we have a $50k truck with premium radio and the back up cam doesnt work

That's exactly what mine did when i was struggling with the same problems you had back in april 2020. I got the update, installed it, No joy, but the next morning when i jumped in the truck to go to work, everything was fully functional. Glad we could help save you the hassle and cost of buying a 2021 module
