Trailer Camera

Is it possible they did more than just add the XFQ sales code?

Not sure. I was there standing next to him while he was config. the truck. He said he contacted his rep and hopefully will have an answer Monday. I do have alfaOBD, the OBD Link MX+ came in today so I haven't used it yet, I'm especially hesitant to use it now after the dealer tapped into the truck and now it's having problems!

You could read the System ID and collect the current settings. without a bypass cable, you can't write any changes anyway.

Well I have the Bypass cable as well. I'll tap in and see what the setting are. Think I'll be able to to enter the right sales code if that's the problem? Like I said the option for the Trailer cams are there but the entire camera system is unavailable.

See if the CVPM settings are all enabled.

Found it. It says "enabled"

I guess the question I should have asked is it Normal to lose all your cameras after installing the prep kit until the dealer has a chance to add the sales code. Because after the install I started the truck and headed up to the dealer for the code. I did notice that the camera were not working on my way there.

I don't know, I just want my Cameras back!!

Update: They added too many sales codes. Once they cleared all codes and added only the Trailer camera then cameras came back up and everything is ok. Picture quality of the trailer cam is crap but that was to be expected from what I was reading.

Thank you everyone for the help!

Except it takes 30 minutes to get here from an orbiter...

That potato cam has spouted.

OK, not really liking the Ram image quality represented here either, but if our Rams cost $2.5B dollars, it "might" get a better camera

My ring cameras from over 100 feet away from the router have much better quality as well, at a fraction of the cost.
Need to design a wireless module that integrates into the factory setup to use either the Furion camera system, which isn't great either, but good enough, or some other wireless camera.

I thought it was mentioned that it's technically the same camera as the tailgate cam (which would make bean counter sense). The potato picture is more about the cable length and type used.

It’s not. The backup camera is digital, trailer camera is analog.

Jimmy07, can the tailgate camera be installed in the housing the trailer camera comes in?

 

[Epsilon Plus]

Any progress on getting the 12-pin plug from MOPAR? Sounds like the right way to do this is put an XFQ prep kit on (if don't already have) and then wire your own camera in if you can find a 12-pin, then do the Alpha dance.

If you’re wondering if it can just be made to fit in the housing- probably. If you’re wondering if it can be installed in the housing to use it in place of the analog trailer camera- no. There is only one digital camera input on the radio, and it only works for the backup camera/surround view system.
