HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

On my '21 I had to change the model year to '20 for the soft keys. Still no luck on the calibration and also noticed no grid lines on the backup cam. Anyone know if there's a way to reset the CVPM?
I did change the model Year only for the soft keys. Calibration went smoothly, still with '21 in my BSM. If You see the image from the front camera, there are no reasons not to calibrate it. Can You post a picture of the front view?

Here's both front view images. I tried calibration with both '20 & '21 in the BSM. Just can't pinpoint why the front is the only one failing and the rear is missing the grid lines. Starting to think there's an issue with the CVPM, which was ordered new.

The gridlines should come been after full calibration. I'm not sure why it is failing.
 
Success at last! @Jimmy07 is the man! Thanks to his suggestion, I was able to calibrate all 4 cams in 10 maybe 15 mins! Thanks to @Stepanchina for helping enable the surround view softkey.
So just some FYI, I have a 2022 BH. I purchased the 56029964AF CVPM because it was the correct part # for MY2022 with UC5. I left the SGW bypass connected (Jimmy07 suggestion) to OBDLink MX+ and this allowed me to calibrate my cameras. This mod is now complete now onto park assist.
That's awesome you got yours working! I haven't had any problems since upgrading to the tow mirrors, but I still don't understand why my wouldn't calibrate the standard mirrors.

Did You follow all recommendations for calibration shown in this thread? Do You have any faults shown in CVPM. Try to clear all faults if any, and do calibration again according to instructions given in this thread.

I have read through all of the post for this thread and would love to do this for my 2019 1500 Bighorn with tow mirrors. I would just like to ask a few questions before getting parts and tackling this:

1. Has anyone used their current 2019 tow mirrors and added the cameras and if so how did you do it to place them in the proper position and create the opening to have them work?
2. The correct CVPM is 68451000AC for a 2019 with tow mirrors?
3. What is the part number for the replacement tailgate handle for a Billet Silver truck?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
2. Yes
3. If You read through all the posts, You probable have seen at least 2 part numbers for billet silver, one with chrome insert, second without.

Tried individual camera, all worked except the front. Try only camera not calibrated, front still fails. Also tried to force all and still fails on the front. Cleared all codes last night and let it sit overnight and tried again this morning, still fails on the front. The only code showing is B2286 for not calibrated.
 
Does anyone who has the 2022 tow mirrors with the camera be able to post a picture so I can figure out where the opening would go on 2019 tow mirrors?
The cameras on the tow mirrors are mounted completely different than the regular mirrors, and I don’t know how you could add them in. The tow mirror cameras are in their own pods on the mirror arm (so not to interfere with the power folding gear). The regular mirror cameras are just mounted in the bottom of the mirror glass housing, facing straight down.

Thanks for the quick response, Jimmy07. After I posted this inquiry I did a little more research and found out it was not possible to reuse my current tow mirrors. If only it was that simple. The tow mirrors set up with the camera 68446974AA/68361477AC should be swappable with the 2019 tow mirrors I have now, right?
 
Yes. Bolt right up.

You will need a new door switch and a few alfa changes to get the power fold to work, however.
 
Thanks for the response, Daverous. Just checking because some sites say yes they will work on a 2019 and others say nothing lower than a 2021.
 
I have them on my 2020 that came with regular power mirrors. You'll be fine. They're just expensive and require some extra steps from where you're starting.
 
Does anyone know if they make a 360° textured black tailgate handle? I can’t seem to find it. I’ve found it in the diamond black but my current handle is the textured black and I would prefer to keep that if possible.

I doubt it since that's not an option on the trucks with that handle.
 
I think I might have found it. PN# 6RN80GXHAA I think is just the textured black with the 360°. Can anyone confirm?
I've checked 4 web stores and looks like its for 2500 and 3500, not for 1500. But looks like it is for 360 view.
 
My next project after im upgrading my 8.4 uconnect5 to 12” screen hopefully

After talking with Jimmy he confirmed that it will fit on a 1500 bc they all use the same handle. He explained that the reason it only says 2500,3500 is bc those have tradesman trims (with the textured black handles) that include the 360° and 1500 does not have those options together, but it will still fit on the 1500. So if anyone is looking for the black tailgate handle with 360° it’s PN# 6RN80GXHAA.
