HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

[andy00018]

Another update : cameras all have a visual now . But I’m still getting an odd ECU connection error .

On another note, does anyone remember what fuse they put their harness into? Mine is in F27 (Mod Cluster CCN / Mod SGW) but I feel like it’s draining my battery .

I didn’t complete my install yet (too many other honey do projects taking precedence) I purchased my harness from Jim also, he said to use F26. As for the errors I can’t help you there. Also what did you do to get your cameras to display when they weren’t before?

Well. It’s ridiculous but I had a cord plugged into the wrong spot on the back of the radio. I’m a dumb a**, lol.

I will switch it to f26 and see what happens .

I used whatever fuse was in the instructions.

Thank you, I’ll search the thread for the instructions. But hopefully 26 will do it .

Sorry, I was thinking of another thread. The one for adding ACC. There is a picture. It doesn't say the number.

 

[SaftenZitronen]

Sorry, I was thinking of another thread. The one for adding ACC. There is a picture. It doesn't say the number.

You’re fine ! There’s a lot of threads to keep up with . I put it into f26, we will see if it kills my battery still.

When it comes to the errors , I have no put the bypass cable in and tried it that way. The ECU connection error is gone but now it is spewing a (Failed. Conditions not correct or Request sequence error.). I’ve been driving in between 2-8 and using the CVPM service calibration in AlfaOBD

Any ideas ? Open for more suggestions .

 

[SaftenZitronen]

So I did what @Mr. Chow did and went in advanced mode/manual connect . 8502 twice. Clear faults .. etc. I got the 360 view to pop up . Started driving at around 3-4 mph. Clicked start.. nothing (failed or incorrect sequence)

I feel like I’m getting closer but something is still stopping the calibration from even starting.

Guess I’ll keep trying .

After installing the 360 Surroundview Camera System, I decided to put this together to help others. I know there are several others who have done this. If you have any extra input, please let me know. I will start with the parts list first. Make sure to read the notes. You may need to find the correct part number depending on your configuration or color. It was about $1200 using used items. About $2200 new.

Parts List
1 of CVPM - 68318033AI (Uconnect 4) or 56029964AF (UConnect 5)- This goes in the passenger kick panel. It comes with the mounting bracket.
4 of Camera - 68144068AD - It is the same camera. To save money, I bought used mirrors off of eBay and took the cameras out of them. The mirrors don't need to be in good condition.
1 of Driver Side Mirror - 68276511AG - These vary depending on blind spot monitoring, cap colors, and other options. I bought used ones from eBay.
1 of Passenger Side Mirror - 68276510AH - These vary depending on blind spot monitoring, cap colors, and other options. I bought used ones from eBay.

Surround View Camera System.

Keep in mind that some of the parts listed above need to be researched depending on options on your truck.

The install is pretty simple, but time consuming. I am not going to go into detail on each item. I will give an overview. You can find videos and instructions on removing the items on YouTube and here.

Front Camera:
You need to remove the grill. Once it is removed, you need to remove the RAM letters and replace it with the new one with the camera. Too me, this was the longest part of the build. You can install the jumper harness now too.

Rear Camera:
You need to remove the tailgate handle and replace it with the one with the new camera. And NO, you cannot use the old camera. The new cameras have a wider degree of view. Use the Tailgate Camera Adapter cable in between the factory cable and the new camera.

Driver's side and Passenger side:
Replace the mirrors with the new ones. You will need to install the cameras in the mirrors unless you bought used ones off that already have them installed.

Running the cables:
I ran the front cable down the driver's side and went through one of the firewall rubber gaskets. Make sure to seal it back. I then ran the driver's side mirror and this one together under the dash over to the CVPM. The passenger side doesn't need much running as it is right there. You need to remove the radio. You will unplug the rear camera and plug in the cable to run it to the CVPM. Then plug the other cable into the radio and run it to the CVPM.

CVPM Install:
Remove the passenger side kick panel and install the CVPM. You can hook up all the cables. The CVPM is labeled for the different cameras. Then hookup the wiring harness and run it over to the fuse box. Make sure to plug it into one that comes on with remote start.

AlfaOBD Changes:
You will need an MX+ or switch the cables around. Again, I am not going to go into this as there is information about it already. If you have issues finding the settings, use the search in AlfaOBD.

VehConfig 1: Rear View Camera- NO
VehConfig 2: CHMSL Camera- NO

CustSetMenu 2: Surround View Camera Gridlines CSM Present- YES
CustSetMenu 2: Surround View Camera Delay CSM Present- YES
Cabin Net: CVPM Central vision processing- ENABLE

Once you do this, you should be able to at least see the front and rear cameras in the surround view display. You will now need to calibrate the surround view cameras. This is what you need the MX+ for. Plug in the MX+ using the SGW Bypass. You'll have to calibrate the cameras when you're done. Find an area that you can drive straight at about 4mph for about 400'. Connect to the CVPM in the radio module list. Run the camera calibrations individually for each camera.

Enjoy your new camera system. If you have questions, please post them in here. If I get more time, I will add more details. If anyone has more details to add, let me know and I will add them.

- I Like It & Wished I Had It
- Questions:
Did you have a Shop perform this 'Install' or did you do this yourself?

 

[NINJA]

I hit the 'Send' Button too soon.
- Can you recommend a shop [I realize that depends on where you are located - LOL!]
- Nonetheless, thanks very much for a detailed outline. I've wanted to add this for the 5-6 months I've had my 23MY TRX

You should ask that in another post instead of hijacking this one. This is about adding the 360 cameras if you don't have it.

Is it possible to add a front facing camera on the front of a 22’ TRX that isn’t equipped with 360 view?

 

[vincentw56]

Is it possible to add a front facing camera on the front of a 22’ TRX that isn’t equipped with 360 view?

Yes and no. Yes you can add A camera to the front of the Ram without 360 view. No, you can't just add the front camera from surround view without the entire system. There are posts on here about adding an auxiliary camera to the front and hooking it up to the cargo camera spot.

Finally got my 360 cam installed. worked first try without having to even calibrate camera(though not sure if I should try calibrating it anyways?).

i got very lucky with my install and found the cvpm for very cheap used on ebay, it was with the part number 68318033AC for 80$ i figured if it didnt work i would eat it as what was 80 when spending over 1000. but it worked so i got very lucky with that buy.
here is a couple of part numbers i used for my install:

-The tailgate handle i got was 6RN821ARAA, this is the number for maximum steel color with chrome.
-68276511AC is the left/driver mirror i bought, this mirror has blind spot, camera and chrome caps
-68276510AC is the right/passenger i got. same features as the driver.
-https://www.ebay.com/itm/383103945523 is the listing i bought all my chakra cables from, more expensive than the amazon ones but i wanted to go ahead and make all my purchases from ebay...so i paid a lil more. i used all the lengths in the main thread and all were correct.
-the wiring for the cvpm i just purchased the harness from Jimmy07 the harness is very well made and easily installed.

The reason you didn't need to calibrate is because you got a used CVPM. It already had the calibration from the last owner. Glad to hear it all worked.

Ok.. after getting brain fry from reading 15 pages.. my hopefully simple question is this:

I have a 2022 Power Wagon that for some reason ( probably chip shortage) only has the tailgate camera. I want to add the LED 3rd brake light with the cargo camera and the digital rear view mirror at the same time. I thought I’d use the kit from Infotainment. At the same time everything is apart, I’d really like to add a front camera. My PW has the vertical slat grill. Apparently Infotainment doesn’t offer the front setup anymore in any variation ( I’ll verify tomorrow) so I’m stuck there. Is my idea feasible? I don’t care about the mirror cams or the 360etc, just the things above. I’ll source parts thru Mopar if needed for the front set up, but what pitfalls can I expect?

Thanks

This isn't the correct thread for this, but you can't just add the front camera for the surround view cameras. There are threads on here already about adding an aftermarket one. Just use search to find them.
