2022 Ram Tow/Trailer Camera Options

[fmixman]

Hi all, keeping this alive I am curious if anyone. has sorted a question I have. And I did plenty of search foo for weeks, so if it's been answered I apologize.

I understand the difference between the rearview mirror cam and the 12-pin ( right side of the plate) analog Aux 1 and Aux 2 setup. and then a separate option that allowed for a surround trailer view, which we will not confuse with a truck surround view. ;')

So, now that is out of the way. My question revolves around the analog 2-cam 12-pin setup. 1- does anyone else find offense with Mopar wanting $1300.00 for this? and 2- Has anyone found a custom harness that allows for the use of a better-quality cam? Since I also read the Mopar setup looks like poo for $1300.00. My goal is to have a camera on the back of my enclosed trailer that shows up on my 8.4 radio looks decent and doesn't cost 1/3 the price of the trailer.

In your research, I would expect you found numerous references to using the FORD 12-pin factory harness to build a custom harness. Readily available. Ford PN: HC3Z-14B242-F

I have seen the reference yes, thank you. Have you successfully used this? I don't see anything on - are pins the same and its plug n play? or do we need to repin? Has anyone used a specific cam? do we need to use the Ford camera?

Interestingly enough, your part number led me to this- https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-part...9f?c=bT0xJmw9MSZuPVJlY29tbWVuZGVkIFByb2R1Y3Rz

That seems like the entire single-cam kit from Ford. essentially the same thing Mopar is asking $1300.00 for.

I just tried to order 68527599AA for my 2022 2500 Limited via store.mopar.com. The order went through, but 15min later I received an email stating that it was not compatible with my VIN. 3C6UR5TL8NG217395

This doesnt seem correct. How can I verify?

Never use a VIN when you order parts

So I’m ok with that p/n and my truck?

For a 2022 DRVM tow mode camera kit, yes

 

[Texasram1]

Indeed

 

[fmixman]

you having a DRVM and having a second cam input for it are 2 different things. if you don't have a plug to the left side of your license plate out back, chances are you will not be able to use that kit.

 

[Texasram1]

I do have the plug

 

[fmixman]

looks like you are golden.

 

[Texasram1]

So plug and play? Local dealer just said i’d likely need the truck reprogrammed for the camera to work?!

 

[fmixman]

the dealer always gets the vig.

 

[Texasram1]

Meaning they are trying to charge me for nothing or it really needs to be reprogrammed so they can get their loot?

 

[fmixman]

to be clear I DO NOT have the fancy DRVM. was one of the no-no's when I ordered. so I don't know the steps. one of these fine folks needs to chime in.

Trailer CAM worksheet (version 2)

Sheet1 @Jimmy07 or @Phil T Do either of you have a source for the pins and/or remote side plugs that come on the Ford 12-pin wiring harness? I intend to de-pin and move the TTPMS wires to the AUX2 camera pin locations, and could cut off the Ford camera and TPMS connectors and replace with gene...
