AlfaOBD Powerwagon dump

Sounds like I'll have to get the windows version.

It wouldn’t be the first time the Android version hasn’t come through on these 2019+ BCMs. That’s why I always recommend guys just get the windows version for the 2019+ trucks. There’s quite a few settings missing from the list when the Android version auto connects to the BCM, whereas you can force them with the windows version.

Yeah, Mezz’s BCM dumps keep coming across as a 2016 BCM, so I think that’s likely it.
 
Well crap. Still not working for me when using AlphaOBD Windows.

Same thing, the camera button is there (in fact it won't go away when disabled) and the gridline option in CSM is there but neither button does anything but a bonk sound.

I immediately (or within a few seconds) lose the surround overhead view was set = YES or it comes right back if I set the off-road camera = NO.

No issue detecting MY2020, I even tried manually selecting and it makes no difference. Selecting MY2019 and none of those options are there.

Frustrating.

Now, I do have the Aux trailer camera installed so I wonder if there's anything to that? I disabled it and enabled off-road but that also didn't change anything - unless I need to wait longer.
 
Ok, so to make this work I changed “VehConfig 8: Off-Road Camera Present” and “Customer.Set.Menu 3: Forward Facing Camera Gridlines CSM Present” to “Yes”.

It took a few ignition cycles, but I got a setting for the gridlines under Settings/Camera and a button for “Forward Camera“ under apps.

You sure there wasn't any other setting? Do you still have the surround top down view?

Would you be able to send me a dump of your BCM status?

Thanks.

@brutal @jsalbre , if you guys read your system ID, can you each post what the ECU part number is and what the hardware part number is?
 
ECU Part Number: 68444250AB
Hardware number: 68444250AB

Those are the only changes I made to get the camera up, and are actually the first changes I made once I got AlfaOBD.

Everything works as before.

Here’s a link to my dump: https://paste.ee/p/FWFUs. It’s in a slightly altered format I’ve been using in Excel for easier searching, but everything is in the same order.


Hmm, you both got 2020s. Wondering if @jsalbre may have AC ECU instead of AB...

Have you tried a negative cable disconnect?

I have the same ECU part number.

I wonder if some previous change @brutal made with the Android version is having an effect here.

I'm trying to avoid that...

Maybe next week after we get back from a trip. I don't want a bunch of stuff not working, would not please the wife.

This is getting more than a little frustrating.

I did a battery disconnect today for 20+ minutes and hours after powering back up, it's still doing the same crap. I have the gridline and forward camera button options but no selection possible and the overhead surround view is black. Haven't driven it again today but I don't hold out much hope for it working yet.

The only other thing I can think to try is to enable the off-road option and then disable it again. I did try that once very early on and it broke surround view and the side steps.

So, you initially changed “VehConfig 8: Off-Road Camera Present” and “Customer.Set.Menu 3: Forward Facing Camera Gridlines CSM Present” to “Yes”, that didn’t work, then you changed those back. Ever since then, even with those two settings back to normal, surround view hasn’t worked properly? Or, is it only when those two settings were enabled?
Do you happen to have a log of your original BCM config before you made any changes (or, at least, before you initially made these changes), and a log of your BCM as it sits now? If so, you mind sending them to me so I can take a look?

At one time, I actually set VehConfig 8: Off-Road Mode" Yes, then toggled it off when the steps didn't work.

Same for one of the Police light modes... Yea, I'm that guy.

I can toggle VehConfig 8: Off-Road Camera Present Enable/Disable and watch the surround go away and come back. At one point, the surround showed briefly, then went black. Just the vehicle image remains. I also lose the guidlines.

Let me go clean up logs I have and PM you a link but part of the issue comparing is the changes rolled out in AlfaOBD.

I wonder if this has something to do with @MEZZ2006 and I issues?
Ok, I’ll run these through WinMerge when I get to my laptop.
I can see it maybe having something to do with hill descent control, but if the front gridlines are only activated when using hill descent. It could also have to do with one of the special package settings, so I’ll try to see what the common denominator is.

I did not try enabling "Off-Road Mode" when I played with it, I thought about it, but never tried it. I dont have power steps to "break", so I could try it and see.

It did not appear to work for me. Actually seemed to "break" all of the cameras, so none of them worked. Would not allow me to "click" any of the camera buttons. I did take a pic of the error it gives me when I tried to enable the forward facing gridlines.

I can’t find a power wagon log. What specifically are you curious about, I can probably answer it. There won’t be anything different except for VehConfig 7 axle locker and sway disconnect. Probably special package setting (EVIC startup pic), and hill descent control.
Is the hill descent control different for a power wagon than my truck? Just curious....
 
@brutal Strange that you’re having so many issues. I wonder if you might be right on the off-road package stuff. I don’t see any reason that the camera should have any connection in the system to the hill descent settings, but maybe there’s something on the backend that’s different.

I unfortunately don’t have time to review everything tonight, but if I have some time before Jimmy gets to it I’ll run through for any differences.
