HOW TO: Add Digital Rearview Mirror

[vincentw56]

I just read through all 24 pages and it still isn't clear. I have a 2020. If I buy a *NEW* BCM and get it programmed at the dealer, and then I do the rest of this mod (Mirror, CHMSL, FAKRA) will l be able to retain my auto dimming side mirrors?

I can't tell if there are just two ways to do it (USED BCM and jimmy07s harness or a new BCM) and they both produce the same result, or if the NEW BCM produce a different result (aka keeping the auto dimming function)

Thanks!

It's pretty simple and straightforward as it's written. You need either another BCM and Jimmy07's harness or a 2033+ BCM to replace yours. It must be a 2023+. You can't just buy a new BCM for a 2020. Or you can send your current BCM to Jimmy07, and he will upgrade it. A dealer probably won't do that for you.

I swear I'm not trying to be a pain, but that still doesn't answer my question. Does doing either of what you just suggested let me keep my auto dimming mirrors? Or is that just not possible on a 2020?

Yes. And it was already answered above by MannyN. But to be clear, only by using a 2023+ BCM will you be able to keep auto dimming.

Ya sorry I just saw MannyNs reply now. Ok thanks gents. And a 2022 BCM wont work to keep auto dimming? 2023+ BCMs are all on backorder but there is a sale on a 2022 BCM for like 50% off on the MOPAR site right now...

TBH, I think a 2021+ should work. I think what I was getting confused was you need a 2023 Plus for the digital cluster gauge.

Here's a question I'm sure someone can answer, read everything and couldn't find the answer. I bought the (68551077AB) light for my 2022 limited, I'm curious if anybody knows what the video format is? My problem with the truck is that the rearview mirror is right in my line of sight, at 4 way stops if I forget to duck or look around mirror a full size vehicle can easily be hidden behind the mirror so I want to get rid of it or modify it or something ( as a side, I went to dealership and asked if the rear view mirror mount was available, they said its part of the windshield and commented "the mirror is blocking your view, a few people asked for mount to try and move it" so I'm not alone). My thought is to mount one of those rectangular monitors just above entertainment screen and run the video feed to that. Thank you

It's proprietary. You won't find a good solution.
