You’ll need to enable the cargo camera in the BCM for it to work. Looking back in this thread, I had some bad info on the wire positions for the cargo camera- it’s pins 21, 22, & 23 on the big radio connector, not 24, 25, 26.I was looking into considering adding this to my 2020 3500 I got the same 8.4 radio and only a back up camera. My curiosity is once everything is hooked up is there a programming deal that has to be done to the radio to enable the 3rd brake light camera, or is it just plug in play if I run the wires for it?
Programming the BCM is easy to do yourself- https://hdrams.com/forum/index.php?threads/alfaobd.640/Okey thats good info I was looking for. Currently I have no way to adjust parameters on Mopar side of things yet work gives me access to gm and ford. Maybe I'll get access to it one day, I was looking at converting my halogen headlamps to the factory led lamps but thats cost of programing and the lamps not going to be cheap. I didnt know what my options were for the 3rd brake light camera nobody mentioned programming, but did about a module alone
Clip from body builders guide-Hello,
I have a 2020 Ram Chassis cab 3500 with the surround view system and my display is just black behind my truck in surround view mode. Just to the right of the svm, my rear camera displays what’s behind me. How do I get surround view mode to display my rear camera? Dealer couldn’t figure it out.
Yea, it used to be a blue screen until the service body and camera was installed. I want to say they performed a calibration and nothing. They also said something about needing to enter a code but when they searched, there was no code for chassis cabs and 360 view. Really appreciate your help and I’ll ask them to perform a calibration in case they haven’t already.Clip from body builders guide-
“With this system, all views will be available in the screen in the center stack. On chassis cabs, the system will operate the surround and cargo views as delivered. The electronics will be configured to operate the backup camera view properly once the camera is connected. Prior to connection, the monitor will display a blue screen when the vehicle is in reverse. The table below outlines the radio and display options available on chassis cabs and pickups with surround view.”
“As delivered” on C&Cs means a 270 degree view, with the rear camera view being blacked out. It says once the rear camera is connected, it will “operate the backup camera view properly”. Now, does that mean just the backup camera view properly when in reverse instead of getting the blue screen? Or, the backup camera view in both the former blue screen AND the overhead view? I’m not sure. Looking at the BCM settings, I don’t see a way that there are two different surround view configurations- ie, one for 360 view, and one for 270 view. Surround view is either enabled all the way, or not enabled at all, and if a camera is unplugged from the CVPM, it will black out that stitched camera image only. I would ask the dealership tech if the rear camera needs to be calibrated in the CVPM.
