Hello,

I’m considering purchasing a new ram 1500 limited, but I couldn’t find information on the surround camera. I pull my truck into the garage and it’s an extremely tight fit, and it’s a pain with my current truck as I don’t have a surround camera like the rams have. The thing is though, I have to fold my mirrors in to fit into the garage. Does anyone know if the surround camera system still functions while the mirrors are folded in?

thanks!

With Folded Mirror you will see the back and front camera but since mirros al folded those will not be usefull

The camera is relocated under side mirror so fold in the mirror will make the surround video look funny.

You didn't say if the Limited you're looking at has Tow Mirrors or not. Be aware if the window sticker or build sheet shows Tow Mirrors you will NOT have folding mirrors or 360 cameras.

However, they will still charge you for both the 360 cameras AND the towing package.

It seems like the 360 view distortion on the side mirrors when folded could be fixed with a simple programming feature that rotates and readjusts the image from the folded position. I can see the cameras still work, its just the angle they point looks wonky on the screen.

My truck fit very tight in the garage too, i folded mirrors to enter in the garage no problem with the 360 cameras. cameras are under the mirror that not cause any interference with camera.

So your image for 360 does not change at all when you fold your mirrors in? When I fold mine in the camera is on the folding part so the image on either side of the truck rotates as the camera rotates Which makes the 360 kind of useless when they are folded in.

Paul yours looks different than a 2019. Is yours a 2020? Of possibly you have new software on the truck (this could be fixed with a software update).

The 1500 and 2500 360 camera setup are different, the side camera on 2500 is not on the side mirror therefore does not effect the picture whenever it folded or not.

They do work but the view angle is distorted by the camera position in the fold position
