Review Camera not working after swapping from 5" to 8.4 with NAV

[ericcloe]

Is the radio from a 1500? I know my 8.4 is out of one and my uconnect buttons on the steering wheel don’t work and I lost my dynamic reverse lines or whatever it’s called

Not sure what the original truck was. I bought it off a guy who bought it used for his 2500.

I wonder if I can take the truck into the dealer and ask them to fix the review camera what they would do since it is not the original camera.

Charge you labor and whatever they replace.

Tried the universal fakra cable today with no luck. I think I'll take it to the dealer to see if they can get it goin. Hopefully they don't void any warranty cause I switched from the 5 to the 8.4.

Are there any unused fakra connections on the back of the 8.4? If so what colors are they?

Yes pink and I think an aqua color and also like a 10 pin black connector

So the farthest left one and the pink and the black connector are not used on my new radio. I tried plugging the camera into the pink connector with the universal fakra cable also and no difference. My camera on the old and the new plug into the maroon connector.

Idk man I think there's something wrong with that 8.4 since you've tried everything else.

I can plug my original 5 inch in and it comes up every time.

Ya what is weird is I bought the radio off if Troutman from the 5th gen forums and he said it all worked in his 2500.

Just to be sure your plugging your camera into the red connection right?

 

[ericcloe]

Is it the same control module for the 2500 and the 1500

Yes correct

So did you get this figured out? What was the problem?

ya sorry. I ended up replacing the radio module and the camera works fine on that. I bought a brand new one for 950 bucks. So I have 2000 in the upgrade. Still 600 cheaper then infotainment.

Glad you got it sorted, sorry to hear it cost so much.
