Can someone chime in if I am wrong... I have a 21 Bighorn 1500. I upgraded to the 8.4 Non-Nav Uconnect 4 radio. I wanted to add the front camera, but from reading all the post on this, it cannot be done because I have the 8.4 Non-Nav unit? Is this correct? Hoping it can be added as I already bought all the parts needed to do this. I already added the alphaobd setting but I do not see the additional "cargo camera" icon. This is what lead me to believe that it cannot be done because of the 8.4 Non-Nav U4 radio I have.

You have to use an analog camera, pinned to the big connector on the uc unit. (Dont remember the pins offhand but theres an entire thread on it). Enable chmsl camera in alfa and you can use that option to view the camera.
The chmsl cam optiom only shows up on 2021+.

Did you do this mod to your truck?

I didnt, mines a 2019 and didnt feel i want it enough to get the bcm flashed to 2021+
I only ask because I already did everything and it's not working...mine is a 2021 Bighorn. I used Alfaobd to flash the bcm, added the rca to the wire harness and everything that needs to be done. What I have noticed is that everyone that has done it, seems to have the uconnect unit WITH navigation. The ones that it did not work for have the Non-Nav units. I was just wondering if you had done it and if you did, do you have the 8.4 with navigation.
