2023 models with DRVM, can you get the side view to work?

I already know there are no trailer cameras available for the 23 models, but the manual and other publications state that you can turn on the trailer reverse guidance view on the DVRM. Mine does not. Does anyone else get that view when they press the left side button on the DRVM?

Thanks very much! Looks great.

Looks like I have yet another thing not working on my brand new week old truck. :(
 
I know the feeling. I have a Limited and for some unknown reason the option to display the tire pressure on my dash cluster is not there. My dealer cant figure it out. It shows up on my Uconnect app but not on my dash, it just isn't there...

My blind spot camara when blinker on didn't work but doing a factory reset on the uconnect fixed that. You may want to give that a try...

Man, we are sharing the pain for sure. Mine is a limited as well and my turn signals and blind spots work, but I could not get the light check to work until a soft reset. My tire pressures are showing. The setting the manual says should exist to turn off the back seat check chime is not there. Buggiest ass truck I have ever owned. My 2018 and 2021 Limited's were awesome.

I can’t get mine to show up either.

2023. Was playing around with it the other day and nothing other then the back camera.

I responded to RamCares with info they requested.
My truck is loaded with Level 1 which comes with the Rearview camera and trailer coax wiring for the rearview camera as well. It also has the blindspot and trailer reverse guidance, so I cant see what might be missing.

Did you order the Tow Technology Plus Group? I believe level 1 comes with the digital rear view mirror, but not the DRVM 3.0 with side cameras.

Here's a video where they show off the DRVM. They start messing with it around 5:30.

Great question, and no. If you do a build on the Ram website and select the level 1 group, then try to select the tow tech group, it wants to remove the level 1 group and replace the head unit with the 8.4 display. So my guess is that specific selection seems to be for trucks without the level 1 group. I dont know for sure.
But I do have the Digital mirror AND the trailer wiring for the rear view camera that connects to the mirror in addition to the 12 pin port on the back of the truck for the other backup up trailer camera.

That's the "Towing Technology Group". If you try to add that to a Level 1, it does remove a lot of stuff. But the "Tow Technology Plus Group" should be able to be added without removing anything (except for the auxiliary switches, if you have those).

Sometimes it feels like they go out of their way to try and confuse their own customers...

Well removing the Aux switches would be a problem for me. I know they are removed because of the steering control, which is useless. Had it on my TRX. I do better backing the trailer myself.

OK, I found out from the video that there are supposed to be additional cameras above the rear facing lights on the external side mirrors. I do not have them. So now, the question will be can I add them?
 
Works in mine. However, some days the entire mirror shows a big white box and I get an error in the dash… “digital mirror unavailable - see dealer” or something like that. It’s at the dealer now and they already ordered the part (prob on back order).

Very cool when it works - hopefully a fluke. I fear it could have been caused by the heat spell we had in Arizona last month… really hope it is not an ongoing issue.

I guess RamCare doesn’t care about my problem
 
I have the reverse steering control
OK, I have a clearer picture of the issue now. It would seem that the package with the steering control comes with the side view cameras, and they are not offered anywhere else. I have the mirror and the trailer camera harness installed, so I wonder of the wires for the side view cameras are already in the mirrors, and I just need to add them. All this time i assumed the cameras being used were the same ones that show reverse guidance on the Uconnect unit.
