HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

[Scarlet Beast]

Like said above. Just buy used mirrors and swap over the components. You just need to drill out the hole. I'm working on a guide. Just haven't had time yet.

I have commissioned someone that is currently working on recreating the bracket. It's looking promising. Once he is done I'm sure he would be willing to print more as there is clearly a demand for them.

Hello Experts,
I have a Ram Limited 2020 with the UC4 factory 360 Sorround Camera System.
I did an upgrade to UC5, to have the new 12” screen and full-size capability with Apple CarPlay.
I bought the following parts and made some changes:

• CVPM new Par #56029964AF
• 12” Screen
• Radio/NAV module
• RAM 12" UCONNECT 5 RADIO INTEGRATION PROGRAMMER + SECURITY BYPAS CABLE
• The UC4 to UC 5 INTEGRATION WIRING HARNESS ADAPTER
• In Body computer Year 2023

So far everything works as expected, except for the 360 Surround Cameras.
I can see all the cameras active individually (Mirrors, Front, Rear), but I cannot see the 360 nor the active gridlines.
I tried AlphaOBD; Radio>CVPM>calibration: but it triggers a lot of alerts on the Cluster and does not allow me to. Tried on the dealer with the Mopar OBDII and the calibration also fails.
Any tip or recommendation on the Alpha, to try to make the Surround works?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Team members!
Wanted to let you know some findings.
Finally I was able to calibrate the cameras.
I used the following sequence in case it helps someone else.
1st camera to Calibrate was the front, then the rear, then the right and the last one the left. I did all them with the car suspension in normal, and running at 2mph, with a help of a friend.
Hope it helps if someone encounters the same situation.

For those who are going to do this take some xanax before dealing with these door cables they were very frustrating to get cables through and then getting back to normal. 😀 I suggest do one and then take a week off before doing the other

I also would be interested in this.. as I bought 4 cameras without knowing I'll be needing this for my mirrors..

The white one is the original (some 3d scan enhancement spay on it).the 3d printed one looks like it will serve its purpose and ill know in a few days. The person I commissioned wants to try it on a resin printer before listing them available for purchase. They want to make it more dialed before. Just a bit more patience and we will have a great option for any9ne looking to do this in the future.

That's cool. I wouldn't trust resin for a part like this. But this will help out a lot.

They don't clean up/smooth those scans? And was it printed with a potato? Sure does look rough even if it's a prototype.

Good news finally. I am calibrated and working!! I have no idea how it worked. I reversed all the Alpha changes and then redid them under the MY23 body computer. Still ended up failing immediately without a calibration screen. I decided to try using windows Alpha, and as soon as i connected to the CVPM, the truck went haywire, cluster flashing on and off, lights on and off, switches on and off, thought I was going to end up at the dealer with my tail between my legs. I disconnected the battery for a bit, and restarted the truck, everything seemed to be back to normal. I then retried calibrating with my android tablet, and instantly got the calibration view!!! Front camera took a few tries, but the other 3 went first shot. Thank you all for your help, much appreciated!!!

Did you end up using the 56029968AF for your 23 limited?

Has anyone looked into what would be needed to add cameras to a 2025 Laramie or Limited yet?

Yes. Aside from the parts and wiring, need to come up with a way to bypass the new security gateway. Then, whenever alfaobd adds support for the 2025’s, need to make sure it can properly run the camera calibrations and proxi alignment after enabling the surround view system.
