Thanks Jimmy, I went ahead and set that as well but it didn't change anything that I could see. No errors were present. I'll leave it in this state for awhile and see if it starts working on its own like some others have reported.

Yes. That is what I did and it worked.
It takes a while, several key cycles for the radio to pick it up. There are several options that can be enabled that do that - take time, or radio fuse pull.
I have not tried this one yet. I still want to know if I get it to work will the camera stay on indefinitely like it does on my gladiator in 4wd? The tire tracks are useless to me. I wish I could turn it off on my gladiator.
It would operate exactly like the gladiator off road camera:
4Lo- will remain on indefinitely until you turn it off
2WD or 4HI- will remain on indefinitely under 8mph, or 10 seconds if driving over 8mph.

I changed the settings over the weekend and have drove over 1000 miles in the last 3 days and no change, still no surround view, front camera button is in the radio but is not lit up or function.. I'll leave it a few more days before I change it all back.... the grid lines are no big deal to me at all, I just really like to have the front camera for parking without going through the surround menu.... I really like the setup on my 17 1500, the front camera would come on any time the truck was below 12 mph.

I drove quite a bit today but no changes yet. A couple things I've noticed while I'm waiting and hoping for the forward tire guidelines to enable: I've lost my backup tire guidelines and my top down view did come up a couple times after a cold start but only for about a second and then it went black.
This would be one of those situations where the other type of security gateway bypass would come in handy. That way you can connect to the radio module and reset the ECU to speed things up.
Put the surround button on the lower part of the Uconnect radio display - they can be customized a little. That's what I do now anyway.

I gave the forward facing camera option a shot earlier today... changed VehConfig 8-Off-road Camera Present to "Yes" and Cust.Set.Menu 3-Forward Facing Camera Gridlines CSM Present to "Yes". Have cycled the key half a dozen times and driven about 25 miles, no forward facing button on the screen yet and I lost my 360 top view camera on the left side of the screen. No faults present on BCM. Guess I'll leave it this way for a few days and see what happens. 2021 2500 6.4 Laramie Level 2 with off road package.
Also, I'm using the windows version of AlfaOBD and couldn't figure out how to backup the BCM configuration... where is that option? I don't see any tools button.

I changed mine on Tuesday and it's still not working. I did a lot of driving with a lot of cycles too. I'm ready to throw in the towel and change back the settings, it's been almost a week.

Bummer... that doesn't give me much hope seeing as how we have practically the same truck. Did you ever even get the button on the screen for the forward camera?
Did you check the vehicle ID to verify it's set to DJ?
I didn't. I'll give it a look when I get a chance.

Where do you find that information on the windows platform? Also, how do you create a backup on the windows platform?
I saw this conversation last night and decided to give it a try this morning thinking maybe the front guide lines might help make it easier to line up the plow. Turned on the off-road camera and the guide lines, after a few short trips around town, the front camera showed up a little after lunch time and everything seems to work fine. 2019 2500 tradesman 6.7 with retrofitted 360 view system.
