3’ one for the truck because I moved the plug from the bumper to inside the bed

I may run out of time for the “bumper to bed” mod. Maybe, I’m not fully understanding the response…which end does this connect into? The truck side has that dual blue seal set up while the camera side has the plastic connector.
It looks like it connects to the camera side. Wondering if it’s worth putting this off to another day.

Will be taking deliver of my ordered limited tomorrow and I do not want the trailer camera kit. I just don’t feel like mounting on my very nice Montana fifth wheel. I tried to get dealer to Keep them since they the ones who made mistake and ordered them. so any idea how much to sell for or what they worth?

If I can figure out how to PM you I’d be interested if you’re talking about the tow camera (coax connection) not the cameras for the 12 pin

The kit is listed at $995 when building. I have no clue what it’s worth sold aftermarket. I’m not sure if that price includes any parts on the truck.
I should have my setup done before next week if you want to see how it all goes together. It will take some work, that’s the only downside…of course if it were easy everyone would do it.

Idk if it does or not but the trucks I’ve found that don’t have the cameras but have the plug on bumper so I’m guessing the cameras and wiring are most of the $995. Yes I’d like to see how it all goes installed

Spitballing here, but… when we open the doors on any truck with surround it “blacks out” that door from the overhead image. I’m thinking the forward mounted camera may do the same if not installed.
I’m going to play around with it to see what I can get neatly installed. The cameras have to be mounted at the same height, and I believe that is user specified when setting up in-cab on the Uconnect display. The problem I run into is the toy hauler’s ramp dictation a high location unless I want to go deep into it and mount on the ramp, but I don’t see a way to cleanly install without disassembling the ramp.
That’s why I’m looking at top mount for the cameras, just going to have to play around with the nose camera. Want it to be practical, yet not goofy.
I’ll let you know what I come up with.

Gents,
A question about the Mopar Camera that comes in these kits (82216068AD):
What are the camera's specifications??? Specifically:
- What is the resolution? (1080P HD? Less?)
- What is the field of view? (90? 120? more?)
- Does it have night mode/night vision?
I cannot find this information anywhere, nor have I seen this info in other posts or forums.
Thank you, DE

I believe the digital mirror/camera package is $995.
The tow mode camera add-on alone is $445. This is for trucks with the digital mirror already included in a package.
The surround kit is $995. Truck wiring is baked into a package or XFQ which is $295 IIRC.
The surround kits have been selling (quickly) in the buy/sell/trade forum for around $700.

This rig is beautiful. wowHey 22, does this connect to the camera or the truck? I guess I’ll find out, I just ordered the 20’ for the Fuzion. Trying to at least get the camera mounted so I can get something accomplished today.
I thought about routing along the underbelly, but there is no great, clean way to do that. My best course is to route along the top and come down beside a slide, then underneath.

My surround kit will be going up for sale soon as I get pics and put it on the for sale section of the forum. These were dealer mistakes on mine no idea how they ordered them we never even talked about the darn things. But I’d love to see pics of people who can actually instal them to see how it all looks.

Thanks! I had a stomach-turning moment yesterday when I had to cut a hole for the dryer vent my wife wants to be installed for our trip. Something about cutting into a vehicle with a hole-saw.

I’m wondering if I got a bad cable, it’s not working. Is this what you got? Maybe unspool it?

That is the same cable I got gator6 and it worked, mine was only 10' but same brand.

Yeah, I fiddled with it and got intermittent video, but nothing I could pinpoint. I’m going to order a shorter one and see if that helps.

That's a big hole for a camera cable.
Does it work on it's own (instead of adding it)?

Yes, the Mopar parts work fine. I think I just got a bad cable. The mirror would “flicker” between truck and trailer cam, and I’d get a notification on the 7” that the mirror had disconnected.
I ordered a shorter 6.5’ cable to try. Funny, but the 360° cameras have super long cables (except for the front cam). I had no trouble getting those planned out.
