2022 Ram Tow/Trailer Camera Options

[Brewmark]

Is the tow camera, wiring, and other equipment available for install on the 2021 Rams?

Not sure. Do you have the digital rearview mirror? If so you should be able to add the camera.

If you have the digital mirror, you can add that tow mode camera. I believe you can add digital mirror to a 21 truck but the parts are expensive.

You would not be able to add the trailer surround view as that requires a UConnect5 head unit. You can add the XFQ (wiring) and 12-pin analog camera setup to a 19-21 UC4 head unit.

As always, sometimes best to run what everyone else, myself included, says by @Jimmy07 to see what he has to offer.

If you have a 2021 with digital rear view mirror already, that mirror only has one camera input for the one in the CHMSL (but you can move that camera to wherever you want).
In order to run both the digital rear view camera and the tow mode camera like the 2022’s, you would need a 2022 digital rear view mirror also.
I have confirmed on the bench setup that a 2022 mirror with both cameras will work on a 2021 BCM.

Yes, I do have the digital mirror on my 2021 Ram 2500. So, you are saying I would still need the 2022 mirror to use it for towing my trailer. Currently, I have a Furrion camera on my trailer.

already have the 4 camera surround, looking for a 1 camera tow mode.

Have you found the part number for the tow mode 1 camera ?

I ran into similar with local Ram parts guy. I wanted the tow camera. He said it didn't exist, only the extra 12 pin aux camera. I took him outside to his lot, showed him the fahkra cable connection, he said it wasn't for a camera, it was for some sort of back up alarm. Sometimes, you just cant fix stupid.

did you get the part number for the tow camera?

Just installed the first gland for the solar work to be done and the thought crossed my mind about how these trailer surround view cameras will be mounted. Anyone have pics on their trailer?

I placed an online order for the tow mode camera 68527599AA a couple of weeks ago on 3/11. It's scheduled for delivery on Saturday 4/2. Either I got lucky or they are becoming available.

I went to install my wired camera on the back of my 35' toyhaller. The wire is about 5' too short. I cant find an extention for that product. What are some of you doing, that have longer trailers?

There are extensions available on Amazon. They're listed a few pages back, I'm going to have to do the same thing for my 44' Fuzion.

I had to get a 20’ one for my toy hauler. The picture is the same.

I just hooked up the 20 foot fakra extension cable along with the 50 foot cable that it comes with camera kit and the picture is still crystal clear in the mirror. Both ends of the extension cable both clip in and lock in.
So I guess there’s hope for us people with big 40- 45 foot campers.

Do you have a part number? I only need get 5 to 6 feet is all but I want to see exactly what you got.

Thank you!

Camera kit was delivered today. Hooked everything up to my 2022 5500 chassis cab to test the camera and it worked. Camera view was in the digital rear view mirror. This is really going to be nice on a camper or toy hauler.

 

[RichOutlaw]

Thank you!

This solution worked. Thanks again.

How is the view angle through the rear view mirror? I have some concern the mirror will be too high up when going down the freeway. My main use on this camera is when driving so I want the rear view to feel as close as possible to straight on.

Please share the STL and/or CAD file. I pretty much only use Fusion360 (free).

My aftermarket camera will need a lot of mod to make it fit, but having the baseplate pattern helps.

 

[Mopar_Mudder]

Sorry I don't know how the view is yet. Camper is still in the shop for the winter with a wall about 2' behind it. LoL.

Probably won't have it out until June to test it out. The hole was already their from the Furion so I wanted to start their and not make more holes, I can always move it down. My previous camper was about that high but the camera had a taller view then the rear view mirror does, so we will see.
