Can you upgrade to uconnect 5?

Thanks to rfullen280, I got my CVPM swapped out with the one he suggested and my cameras are back! (all but the 360). My Uconnect 5 still cuts out frequently however.

As far as programming/updates, you’ll just need to use AlfaOBD to change the model year in the BCM to 2022, and recalibrate the cameras for the new CVPM. I also have a copy of the latest software version for the radio that you can put on usb to update the radio module.

PM me for details on the necessary custom cables.

@Jimmy07 do you have a link to the steps for Alphaobd to change the model year so I can get my uconnect 5 working in my 21 1500 ram

Evening all...

I just found this forum. I recently upgraded a 2019 2500 big horn diesel from 8.4 UC4 to 12.1 UC5. I have made the necessary changes in the BCM ICS and Display and have back up camera blue screen ( Please check surroundings). Only camera on the truck currently installed is the backup camera. I swapped back to the 8.4 and reset the BCM to the original settings...backup camera worked. So i have isolated it a setting or the UC5 module itself. The UC5 upgrade had a 2023 manufacture date if that means anything. Any suggestions on what i should change? Thanks in advance. Brian

You might need a new camera module and or reprogram your current one to communicate with the newer system.

 

[2021 Ran Limited]

Hello I need some help, I have a 2021 ram limited I upgraded the Uconnect 4 to 5 screen, module and the newest CVPM. I ran all of the procedures and got top view camera to work. My only problem I had was the Lane Sense/anti lane departure and parking assist buttons did not work but hazard button does. I couldn’t figure this out and took it to ram so they could “have a look at it” and they used the WiTech tools and blew out all of my AlfaOBD settings. They sent the 2021 build to the 2022 screen/module. Left me with no backup camera at all. After 8 hours of playing around in Alfa I got everything back except now I have no cruise control. Because ACC and AEB are throwing error codes: “Adaptive Cruise Control # C2206-00 vehicle configuration mismatch” and
“Driver Assistance System C2206-00 vehicle configuration mismatch”

Please someone who figured out how to fix ACC, Lane Sense, AEB etc guide me.

I can’t live without cruise control, or backup cameras. I drive 3 hours daily. Cruise is a must. It appears if I change year of truck to 2021 then cruise and those errors go away but I lose my backup cameras entirely until I push 2022 year.

I also tried disabling ACC and FCW etc hoping I can get just cruise to work, no luck.

Side note how I fixed cruise before taking it to ram dealer, I went into steering and cleared 2 error codes and cruise was working. Now after ram dealer those error codes do not pop up anymore. Ram dealer told me they can only order me a new screen which would be 2021 to “fix” it.
