Great write up and setup. I don't suppose you'd be willing to sell one of these 3-D mounts would ya? I have the mount for a Furion Camera in my 5th Wheel Grand Design and was trying to figure out how to mount the camera. I just ordered the camera kit myself and the plug as I will be relocating the camera port. If you'd be willing to sell one of these mounts or point me in the right direction on how to obtain one I'd be eternally greatful! Thanks!3d printed a mount to fit the existing Furion camera mounting locationView attachment 35141
Looking up part number 68526870AA shows: 2019-2022 RAM Rear Rear Bumper Step Pad - Mopar (68526870AA) Part can be found as reference #1 in illustration. Some other parts descriptions call it a Cover. Bumper.I've just finished reading this entire thread over the last couple of days. I have a SRW 3500 Limited w/ Ram Boxes. I also have the digital rearview mirror and all the connections on the rear next to the license plate location. I had to install a B&W turnover and add a kit for the trailer plug as you cannot order a 5th wheel prep through Ram with the Ram Boxes. My questions to everyone here is, do I have the right part numbers and everything I need to get this to work. This is what I ordered:
68527599AA - This is the camera kit of which if I understand everything I've read on here, it includes 51' of wiring to get from the rear of my 5th wheel to my bumper. I have a 39' 5th so I may need to order an extension through Amazon, but want to see how close I get.
68526870AA - This is the plug I'll need to install on the left of the license plate once I relocate the camera port to inside my bed.
As far as can read, I should not need anything additional. If I do need anything additional, I'd definitely appreciate any feedback. This thread has been a lifesaver to this.
TIA
With the Limited, I assume you already have the digital rear view mirror. Should be no need for XPN because you already have the camera module on board in the truck talking to the mirror.Just finished reading through the entire thread.. Great info, and I think I pretty well understand how the camera and packages work on the 2500/3500's.
I'm optioning a 2022 5500 Limited, and the surround camera options appear the same - order the towing technology group and you get the surround camera setup. Add XN1 for the trailer side of the surround cameras.
For the rear camera for the mirror - order the safety group (or level1) to get the digital rear view mirror.
However there is an option code XPN called "Wired Auxiliary Camera by Mopar", it's $1,080 MSRP, and the only description is that it includes "Trailer Camera Wiring (No Camera) by Mopar".
Does anyone know what XPN is exactly? That seems like a lot for the truck side wiring harness if it doesn't even come with the camera.
My end goal is to have the trailer surround system as well as the rear view mirror that can either show the CHMSL camera or the aux rear camera if it's plugged in for the back of my camper or trailer. Ideally I'd have a camera for each. But I don't know if XPN is needed, and can't find anything about it in this thread or online.
Thanks!
Safety group comes with the digital rear view mirror. AVF package also comes with digital rear view mirror. If you select safety group, then select AVF, it will kick the safety group because it contains an item that is included in safety group, so one package will REPLACE another in that situation. If you want the tow mode camera, you would have to choose safety group and the a la cart tow mode camera (XH7 I believe). If XH7 isn’t available at the moment, but AVF is, you just have to decide how bad you want the tow mode camera vs all the other features in the safety group.So on Ram's build & price at least, for a 5500 Limited, the digital rear view mirror comes in the Safety Group (AAU). There is an AVF package that includes the mirror and the tow-mode / up-fit camera (wired) but if you select it, it deselects the safety group which is not what I am going for.
XPN is the analog auxiliary trailer camera. The reason it says not available with LPD is because LPD is the cargo camera equipped on non surround view trucks, and it is analog and uses the same camera input pins on the radio as the aux trailer camera.It sounds to me like you're saying that if the XPN camera is the analog camera, it's incompatible with the surround camera (because both need some of the same pins) and would display on the radio, not the rear view? The configurator lets me select both, but of course that's been wrong before..
This may explain why it's not on the Build and Price.

This solution worked. Thanks again.
I have used this part and it is all working and I am happy with this. My only question is, Why doesnt Ram have a solution for their products?Bingfu Fakra Z Female to Male Vehicle Antenna Extension Cable 2m 6.5 feet for Car Stereo Android Head Unit GPS Navigation FM AM Radio Sirius XM Satellite Radio 4G LTE TEL Telematics Bluetooth Module
