I noticed a new "feature" this morning. I'm not sure if anyone else's backup camera has this upgrade but I get to see what's playing on my radio while my backup camera is active.

Yes, it changes as the radio information changes; it's not "burnt in".

I took it out of reverse several times. No change.

I turned off the truck and restarted. No change.

This just happen to coincide with my 90 day Ram satisfaction email. At least everything still works. I'll add this to my list of things to talk to the dealership about.

It only shows on the trucks with the center back up line.......









Just kidding.... I haven't stared at mine close enough to tell. If it were my truck I wouldn't even bother to bring it up with the dealer.

I won't take it in for just this. But I'll add it to the squealing brakes, sticking drivers door lock cylinder, glove box trim ambient light strip, and intermittent "Key Fob Not Detected" issue.

I'm having the same issue on my 2019 Ram 1500. The dealership said there were no updates to fix the issue. Nothing but problems with my truck so far....

I'm still having this issue as well. If enough of us can get the attention of the @RamCares maybe corporate can help. My local dealer has been of no help at all and keeps referring me to a future software download.

I/m having the same issue in my 2019 Ram Bighorn. It doesn't make the camera impossible to use, just annoying. It's not screen burn either as the image changes with the radio.

I'm not convinced a simple software update would fix the issue since it kind of appeared out of nowhere one day.

Latest issue: Still having ghosting issues and now have a blue screen for the backup camera sometimes. The radio goes in and out and the backup camera has just a blue screen. This has happened twice in the last week. Dealship has said I have the latest software version and there is nothing else to do... This truck is a lemon.....

Just FYI this is an FCA issue. Traded my 2018 Chrysler 300S in to get my ram, and had the screen in the 300S replaced 3 times due to this exact issue. Each screen had the same issue, dealer never figured it out. Have the 12" in my 19 Ram and no issue, appears to be luck of the draw?
