Surroundview camera

[St-na]

I never ordered any spacer. Camera perfectly sits inside the handle.

If you push camera from behind it will pop-out, as bracket is only supporting it back side. Camera is not latched in that bracket.

No, my camera is latched at the end position. There is no way it can move.

this is how it looked in mine without spacer.

 

[St-na]

Probably You guys are right. Mine is still sitting inside do not want to remove the latch now, but will order this spacer with the next bunch of parts, makes no sense to pay $10 for $1.5 part. How thick this spacer? May be few rubber washer rings can be used instead. Was not planning more modifications. Only HUD and Mopar air lift suspensions are missing on my truck, all other features possible for the Laramie are factory installed or added with the help of this forum (special thanks to @Jimmy07)

My temporary spacer made from mini M&Ms tube.
I'm planing to order my spacer with next batch of modifications..

To those who have completed this mod, are we reusing the old backup camera cable and using this "1 of 3' Fakra Z - Male to Female https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P2WYP98 - Tailgate Camera Adapter" to connect the new 360 camera to the old cable? TIA

I just used short 1' long adapter. You do not need 3' long.

Got it but we are reusing the cable from the old backup camera correct?

Yes, partly. You have to add adapter to the existing cable on camera side and extend this cable from the radio to CVPM.

Struggling with one problem: Soft keys "surround camera" and "Back cam" not working. I did many restarts, battery disconnected, even upgraded my radio to PR40.1. BCM downloaded and checked one by one, all acc. to the instruction. Other than that, all working fine. My CVPM: 68318033AI

Does the CVMP plug into the old rear camera port on the head/radio unit?

Yes. The rear view camera goes from the head unit to the rear on the CVPM. And the out in the CVPM goes to the connector for the rear view camera on the radio module.

Thanks. Hoping to finish this up today.

I have a factory-limited DT that has suddenly produced a fault, All the other cameras are operating as normal but now the CVPM is giving me a black screen. i have taken it to ram and they have been unable to calibrate the cameras due to the lift kit not allowing the truck to go through its diagnostics. Any leads or information?

You should make your own thread.

I don't think anything can be done except put it back to stock and then fix it.

Agreed.

Have seen here few guys, who did calibration having lift kit. If You can't do it, I would rather suggest to check other dealer.

I appreciate the feedback, Limited on resources here in Australia was hoping to have some luck from here.
