I'm not sure what you are asking as there is no such thing for the surround view cameras. This isn't the thread to discuss that.

Any idea how these mods will be affected if the dealer does any software upgrades/recalls? I installed the Ram bed lights and had to re-enable them in Alpha, after a dealer visit for an update. I have the ESC recall pending, curious if it'll mess up my changes.

It's the same. You may need to enable everything again. Make a backup and restore it.

So i am half way through the process.
I have all the hardware installed except the front cam.
I have not tried to calibrate yet.
When i shift into reverse, i get the surround view screen and i can switch to back up cam from that screen.
Can i swap that around and make the back up cam default when shifting into reverse?
I really only want the surround view when i’m in tight drive through lanes
or when i’m unsure if there is anything (shopping carts) in front of the truck.

Finish the installation first and calibrate. You will have surround cameras on the left and rear view on the right. And no, you can't change that.

I am having regrets…
I wish I had just added the aux cam up front….

Thank you. Restoring from the backup won't override the dealers changes?

No, it shouldn't. They probably just did an update which resets the settings back to factory. If you are worried, just redo the AlfaODB changes.

Depends when you made the backup file.
The only way your alfaobd changes can be reverted at the dealer is if they perform the “restore vehicle configuration” function. There is really no reason for them to do this unless they are replacing the BCM. This procedure is exactly the same as when you perform the restore from backup file in alfaobd- it quickly writes every single setting to the BCM the way it is in the backup file. You should have an original backup file, and you should have a backup file of what all your current settings are after all your alfaobd changes. That way, if they ever restore your original vehicle configuration, you can just quickly restore your most recent alfaobd configuration without having to manually change all your settings again.

Thank you! I never did the original backup , so I'll just have the one with my changes.
