    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    Have to laugh while checking uconnect site for radio update information (connect 5.0) I noticed that it says that radio will support park view camera but it cannot be added later......apparently you guys should tell the powers that be that it can indeed be added later...on a side note typical...

    wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant or something better??

    In looking around the net I see simonize glass coat as well....looks super easy to apply. I know the stealership wanted me to pay ridiculous money for a paint sealant which was the simonize and I see it on ebay all the time for around 60 an application. At any rate thanks for the feedback..Have...

    This price seem reasonable?

    Hard to compare vs vehicles in canada....msrp for my ram was 44900 and got it for 30300 using affiliate program here. BUT it isn't anything fancy just cdn equivalent of express with 6cyl 8 spd tranny and different appearance pkgs for the most part.

    wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant or something better??

    I am not really the kind of person that has spent hours detailing their vehicle but with the new truck I am going to try to keep on top of it. Upon delivery of new vehicles I used to be one of those guys that got the overpriced paint sealant and then just washed and occasionally polished the...

    powertrain warranty....anybody shed some light??

    just wondering (contacted Chrysler as well) why we in Canada when buying the same truck as our American neighbours are getting the same bumper to bumper coverage but powertrain warranty are only getting 100000 kilometers when the American trucks are getting 100000 miles. Seems like we in Canada...

    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    At the risk of sounding stupid Jeepguy on your site you have listed crew cab short mid and long box..any dimensions with that??? A bit of guessing game up here as the express doesn't exist in name....I assume that the st and sxt equate to the express in the states. I assume the 6'4" would be...

    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    I like the work you have done on getting this resolved and this isn't an indictment of your work but just an observation from someone who used to work in the assembly plant. the staggering number of combinations of options would lead to many incarnations of harnesses and standardizing them would...

    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    I have to say I still don't get it. thanks to you guys for valuable information but it seems to me that there must be a million combinations of options available and I sincerely doubt each has their own harness and even if it did then buying the harness from Chrysler dealer parts should be...

    Hidden features?

    can't help you with the other two (audio and turning over) but the large key if yours is the same as mine is for the tailgate and will also open the doors. Just my .02

    2013 Skid Plates

    the one thing that I find to be ridiculous it seems ridiculous to me that the build and price on the chrysler website allows you to add the protection group in the 2014 lower end models yet nobody has oem parts to do so...running into a lot of that with respect to skid plates, backup camera...

    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    I completely understand that and can't say that I blame them. The difference in this case might be though that before purchasing the truck I asked several of the dealership mechanics who also happen to drive Rams, most of which are somewhat "tricked out", and they echoed what the service manager...

    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    not sure about the states But in Canada according to the build and price option on the ram truck website as well as trucks in inventory that have come direct from the factory the park view rear view camera is available with the connect 5.0 radio on the sxt model which is to the best of my...

    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    picked up the truck today And while the sales person and manager are really easy to deal with etc they are steadfast in their assertion that it won't work with this radio and that a camera install if it were available would cost upwards of a thousand dollars....given the fact that the option is...

    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    due to the fact that my wife is going to be doing a lot of the driving of this vehicle and has been used to the backup cam in the 2010 journey that we are getting rid of (and by the way good riddance) I would really like to add this option to the truck and would prefer the factory look. Would...

    DIY: 2013 Ram add OEM Backup Camera

    stupid questions I guess long time dodge owner..first time ram owner....Really wanted the park view camera because of wife's neck problems. Have it on the journey we are trading in and works fabulously. However, wasn't inclined to wait or spend ridiculous amounts of money to get one with it...
