YEs…the Issue was the vehicle-side of the cable was stored and coiled-up above the spare tire. I dropped the tire…and followed all the cables/harnesses …and found it. Plugged it into the vehicle-side of the FAKRA and the camera immediately works. BTW, I re-visited the dealership who tried to...

The ANSWER to the problem I had posted earlier regarding no harness attached to the truck-side of the “dock” for the DVRM mirror/trailer camera…is SOLVED. Despite a Ram dealer “tech” looking for it and not finding it…another participant here (Damonb) convinced me to Drop the spare tire and...

I had the Rambox on my 2012 Ram 1500…. and now also on my 2024 Ram 2500…. and they are identical (with the exception the 2024 has different interior lighting inside the boxes.)

Thanks for the replies. I have a DVRM..but what “level” I do not know as I’m unfamiliar with 2.0 vs 3.0 . I do not have the trailer “reverse steering” feature…(a steering knob on the dash)…. although the truck Does Have the “trailer reverse steering assistance” which is a display on the...

I just returned home from a 3K mile trip towing our Airstream. Last nite was spent in Ruidoso which required backing into a tight-spot on a cliff-side in the dark. It took multiple “get- out and go look…get in and re-position”….. All while sweeping-headlights were disturbing the neighboring...

One has to be a Mental-Case oneself to know words like that…. ;)

There are drivers who follow you so-closely they are hidden by some trailers, even with proper towing-mirrors….and are sometimes the same guys who are accelerating to pass you on the left Despite you signaling you are turning Left! A trailer Rear-View-Camera is a Safety-Enhancement….with...

I bought it new (8 miles on it)…and it’s supposedly “loaded”…. a “Limited”. There is no relocation “to the bed” ..the Fakra “dock” is on the rear bumper left of the license-plate… it’s a standard 2500 pickup with Ramboxes.

Having installed the camera kit on the camper…but my coax-Fakra “dock” on the bumper as no harness to it on the vehicle-side. What jumper/harness do I need to connect it to my DVRM? 2024 Ram 2500 Limited 6.7L CTD

I hope I’m not repeating what’s already been posted… (I’ve read thru so many threads seeking the answer, but haven’t found what I need to know…. Hope someone can help me)… …I have a 2024 Ram 2500 Limited 6.7 CTD and it has the 12 pin…but I DON”T want the 360 view… I want a Tow-camera for my...

This is a problem people don’t realize, for example, after a storm floods the streets and you see people driving into water so deep it’s above the bumpers…. It’s not a problem (they think) since they have disc brakes instead of the old drums their grandads had….. But…Their axles (Front/Back)...

Radiometer, you may have explained MY problem with my 2024 Ram 2500 Limited 6.7 CTD. I installed the trailer camera kit 86886112AA ….and found that the Fakra bumper “Dock” is not connected to any thing on the truck-side behind the bumper. My selling dealer in KY and my local dealer in TX...

My salesman said that Coax/Fakra port on the left side of the license plate was a “Nitrogen charge port” for the suspension system. B.S> He also said they would ship the trailer camera to me. A year later the dealer Did Ship the camera kit to me PN 68686112AA ….. and I installed it… BUT the...

Excellent Wisdom and Advice. Thank you. (and a bump)

Well….I’ve read all 48 pages and this just about meets the limit for nausea. I moderate an equipt-maintenance forum (not automotive) and I do understand that it is the problem-equipt that brings complaints from owners to discussion-forums….that the vast majority of happy-owners never visit...
