It Looks Like The Ram 1500 Will Get New Tech For 2021:

Thanks to some new exclusive spy photos, we are getting an idea of some of the changes that may be in store for the Ram 1500 for the 2021 model year. While you shouldn’t expect much to change on the outside (unless you are looking at the upcoming 2021 Ram 1500 TRX), there will be …

It will be nice if we can replace our third brake light with the one mentioned here. It would involve another camera line being run to the uconnect, but I wonder how difficult it would be to update the software to recognize the additional camera.

That would be super nice

Thumbs up on the cargo bed cam.

I don’t think that you would be able to install the new one due to the camera

you can exchange the bulbs back there with LEDs now. Bought mine on Amazon, came with two white and two red (you only need one red)

The light assembly should be a direct replacement though, even if we cant get the camera to work

That passenger side camera should be used like on so many Honda’s. To see traffic in the blind spot while barely turning your head. Much better than BSM activated every time you use the right turn signal.

 

[NewTruckWhoDis]

Apparently the Tazer DT can enable that functionality for you, where it turns on your camera when you turn on your signal. I bought one from another forum member and that is one of the features I am most exited about.
I assume that this article was point out that you can get 360 cam on towing mirrors specifically, because 360 was already available for normal mirros.

Tow mirrors with 360-degree camera should be awesome

I would think so, although I can only make out 2 screws holding it on v.s. our 4.

Crossing fingers that they will switch to UConnect 5 to tie it all together
An all digital dash cluster like the upcoming F150 would be sweet as well...

The camera line is already there on most trucks I've seen. Seems to be part of the standard harness.

 

[NewTruckWhoDis]

Oh, that's fun! Definitely adding it to my list then.

The truck is still too new for that kind of upgrade to happen.
Uconnect 5 will likely just be as buggy as the current system

Agree to an extent, but pickup trucks are FCA’s best selling vehicles.
If the Pacifica will have UConnect 5 (they‘ve announced at the unveiling that it will), I would hope that their top selling vehicles will have the latest and greatest tech as well.

It will. It’s supposed to get it but I’m sure the bugs will be a lot in the system. It’s run on Android. Ever own anAndroid phone? Made me go back to Apple.

I hope they are not missing the basics that really irritate owners. I personally know two ford sales due to not having POWER FOLD TOWING MIRRORS ON A 1500. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

They should be fine.
The power folding mirrors on the 2500/3500s have the same features that the regular mirrors on the 1500s.
A buddy of mine has a 2020 2500. 360 camera and power folding work w/o issues.

The camera line is already there on most trucks I've seen. Seems to be part of the standard harness.

Going through the instructions for my Tazer DT, it lists the following. Considering the camera line is already there, this might just be a plug and play mod.

Vehicle Settings:
- Enable/Disable Cargo Camera input*
* Use of extra video inputs requires wiring video source(s) to radio. Special adapter harness
required, sold separately. Some features are included yet not fully tested as the platform is so
new.

Trailer steering LMAO I’d rather have 1hp than that useless thing. Had one on a Ford never used it.
