This question has been asked many times and I am also looking for a way to do "Tesla" type camera recording. So far, nothing.
Hello,
I have a 2500 limited, with all the cameras.
Is there anyway I can tie into the existing camera system and save the data as opposed to getting a separate dash cam?
If not is there a recommendation for a favorite dash camera for these trucks?
All the best!
I
think the answer is NO. I have not found one so far (as I am looking for the same solution to tie into the factory camera system).
HERE IS A WAY to tie your camera into the overhead console for ignition/accessory power (using a "switched wire")
WITHOUT HAVING to run wire to the fuse box.
But it will not give you sleep mode. You would still need to run a separate hard wire for the live positive (+) for that to be all collocated up in the overhead console = full park mode capability.
The benefit to this method is that if you only have a front camera, there will be no wires to run under the headliner to the A Colum down to the fuse box. Even if you have a back camera, you will only need to run the back camera wire under the headliner to the rear, without having to go down the A Column.
Without a cab fuse panel you can connect to a switched ignition wire in the overhead console. This video show exact location of the switched wire in a 2020 H...

Note = IF YOU HAVE A
SELF DIMMING MIRROR - there is a simple dash cam wire harness / connector available for your dash cam power. It's made by Dongar Technologies.
This video shows a PT that will tap into your mirror wiring and provide direct USB power for your dash cam (again, this will only provide power when the ignition is on). But again, you will not have to run any other wires from the camera down to the fuse box.
dongar technologies is the name of the dash cam adapter harness.
