The last 2 letters change regularly on some parts and are usually considered irrelevant. Not sure why someone in the parts department doesn't know this. Give them a call if you can and give them a rash of crap.

Yip the cargo cams are expensive and also hard to find used. I got lucky and found mine in perfect shape used for $250 shipped but I rarely see them for sale.

No joke. Been loosely looking for ~2 months, but they rarely come up fs on the forum. When the harness was available from Mike, I couldn't wait until a used one came up, so just pulled the trigger.

Hello,
Its been my understanding based on recommendations from other forums you guys are the go to for power seat harnesses. I purchased a set of Laramie power/heated/cooled seats for my 2016 SLT 2500. Are you guys still making these harnesses for the conversion?

Thanks!

Yes.
Sent you a private message the other day with @DeereGuy 's (Mike D.) contact info. Did you send him your info? He makes the seat harnesses and has a large backlog and may take a bit to get back to you.

Was the price of the Cargo Cam harness posted? Does the harness allow you to select tailgate or cargo cam in the 8.4 display? I have a loaded 2014 sport and Alpha to make any changes needed. I assume DeerGuy is the only one making it?

Deereguy mike will have to comment on that. I know he JUST found a way to make them again as he couldn't get part of the harness.

Did your truck come with the 8.4?

I got half the install done. The light is in and I was running the harness, then when I tried to remove my radio bezel, it must be secured more places. Sunset was coming so I stopped. I have the cubby and console, and all the YT videos are the jump seat, so it must be secured in the center console.

Want to give my appreciation and recommendation to M2Mods based on another excellent product.

Recently purchased the CHMSL w/ Cargo Cam harness. Product arrived quickly, even for a rather lengthy harness, and was very well made.

Excellent customer service-very helpful during my install and even followed up with me afterwards.

Is there a pin out for the head unit plug? I don’t see any indicators for where 24-26 should be34fdeb07bd6c22b6649caaafc89dd369.jpg

There it is! Thanks Grimm. So I did this right, I miss pinned one, ran the wire the won’t way to the plug. Deerrguy replied on how to remove. I took a close up pic and will post that too, on how to remove a pin. It was unlike my pinball harness, as it was a plastic clip holding so even easier than I was thinking. It’s all wired and ready to be put back :)

So when I installed the pins, I didn’t think ahead and did not run the wire with the stock harness, so when I had the latch open, pinned it, the latch couldn’t close :/

Deerguy informed me how to unpin so I could fix that.

The red top on the plug, needs to be removed. Same with pinning. First use a knife and get it lose on the plug, then use a needle nose to squeeze the two small ends that hold it in, and it will come out

With a ultra tiny flat head screw driver, look where the red top was, you’ll see the pins and the tiny black clip in the plug that holds the pin in. Use the screw driver and lift the black tab off the pin and it will easily slide out.

Reroute, or re pin, reinstall the red top and re zip tie the harness to the plug again.

Posted above by Grimm is the correct pin out.


I changed the settings in alfaodb but my camera isn’t coming up on my 8.4 screen or in settings. The led setting must of taken as the dash isn’t warning me a brake light is out anymore, and my DRL setting worked, so I know things are working but this chmsl isn’t :/ any tips for that? I let it sit and today set it to no, then back to yes: still not showing up

I have no idea what happened, but I went to check a different year module and when I turned the key to on, the cargo camera was working

Also my menu settings for DRL enabled.... ugh it’s like IBM, it’s black magic ;)
