Hello all , I've recently installed the OEM back up camera kit in my 2014 Ram 1500 ST 4X4 Q.C. , Easy install but the active grid lines are not displaying on my RA2 5.0 touchscreen radio (factory 5 " touchscreen radio ) I've verified the wireing and the camera , I'm thinking the issue may be the radio itself ?

I'm seeking someone relatively close to me in Bristol "1 hour or less" that would be willing for me to temporarily install your 2013+ truck with an RA2 factory 5" touchscreen radio in my truck to see if I get the grid lines ? This is just info I'd like to have before I head to the Dealership.

If you've never had your radio out , this is a 3 min task very simple .
You could have the back up cam or not , this wouldn't matter for the check .
Thanks , pm me if you would be willing to help me out...

After figuring out that you only needed a sw update to your 5.0 (v2.3.20) for the grid lines to work, I am finally updating my radio as well even though the grid lines worked with v 2.3.21 ...

PS. I should have done this tonight after work, not right before when it's 110 degrees in the truck with the doors shut ... 15 mins and still updating. It's hot in here. [emoji27]

Lol ! Yep can't open the doors lol .
I never told you ,but my hands free texting doesn't work after the update this is a feature I miss badly , I can't believe this happened with all the noise about texting while driving , I don't think it's my phone at least it was working prior to the update ! Now it says my device is not compatible or supported or something

I'm not sure about replying to a text, but my uConnect 5.0 will read out received texts from my phone just fine after the update. LG G4

I did have to re-pair my phone and reset all my radio presets again.
