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

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 🤣🤣

Did you try updating the radio with the post I linked just above your post?

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 🙃
