Thank you @M-Pressive and @Radiometer1 ... it seems maybe I have the wrong kit, even though it says it works on 2022-2023, I see other docs from RAM that say 2022 kits don't work on 2023 kits and vice versa. I did order the 68586112AA, but I only have one cable and one camera, no 'booster'...
I’m not quite sure what you mean by “2 wires and a signal booster.”
This part # comes with a long cable labeled DRVM, a coaxial plug on one that plugs into the coaxial plug on the back of the truck, a little round plug that plugs (only one way) into the camera on the other end. And that’s it...
As the person that started this thread originally, I thought I'd keep it going with the latest problem. As stated when starting the thread, I ordered a fully loaded 2023 Limited 3500 with all the options, Tow Surround and DRVM, etc... but as we all know throughout the thread, the actual wired...
Thanks @Jimmy07 ... I figured out that part was the trailer surround. It's very weird that when you put that part # in, a ton of Mopar sites list it as a 'backup camera' which is super misleading. I already have the trailer surround.
I guess we just keep waiting hoping that eventually the...
Hey @Radiometer1 and @Jimmy07 (and anyone else following!)
First, thanks for that quick reply... I was aware that 68586112AA would work but that it's been discontinued and is hard to find (I search for it often). What I'm mainly trying to find out by resurfacing this thread is that there are...
Hey all, (and @Jimmy07 because you always know EVERYTHING, lol) - sorry to be adding to this never ending thread, about cameras, but it seems to be one of the best Q&A's. Now that we're into April of 2024 and I see dealers have 2024 RAM trucks on lots that have the 'wired camera kit" - I'm...
@pr3dict I love this idea, lol. I've literally thought about finding a 2023 truck for sale on a dealer lot that shows it has the tow camera option, ask for a test drive then swipe out the camera. I'm so #$#^%$*#(&^%# pissed off at RAM right now. It's insane that i dropped $108,000 on a fully...
Hi @jsalbre and @Jimmy07 - ok, are you ready for this head scratcher?
If I go to the TRAILER page in the camera page or through the apps, it tells me that there is not a trailer with Surround attached (even though it IS attached). And then Trailer Surround is grayed out. But, if i go to the...
Yes agreed, the gateways look identical which was confusing to the dealer and why they were trying to put it behind the instrument cluster and replace whatever gateway was already there, completely crashing the truck. In the end, the dealer could never figure out how to activate the gateway or...
Got it, that makes sense, but then are you actually saying that a RAM dealer can't even use their own software or tools to add this feature to a RAM that didn't come with it, even though RAM advertises it can be added later? You literally HAD to order it from RAM with the cameras for...
Hi @Jimmy07 - i knew you'd come to the rescue and answer lightning quick. You're amazing.
Yes, the first picture you have above of the wTech Topology is exactly what my dealer showed me. The TSVCM box at the bottom of the tree was grayed out and they couldn't click on it or do anything. I...
Hey everyone following this thread about Trailer Surround Cameras... are you ready for a laugh? If we can't laugh about this I actually want to cry. Or scream. The ongoing saga with getting Trailer Surround Cameras to work continues...
To summarize, based on original answer to my first...
@jsalbre thanks for the update... when you say you'll install a 2022 DRVM - is that in a 2023 vehicle you'll do that? Is that a remote possibility that I could take my 2023 DVRM out and replace with a 2022 one to get a working trailer camera? It's frigging insane we have to that with a brand...
