Hello Everyone, I was just reading an article where the new Jeep 2022 with 8.4" back-up camera on the Uconnect screen can be turned on while driving forward. Is this option available on the Ram Classic as well?
Can Uconnect 8.4" Rear backup camera be on while driving forward?

There’s a thread in the DIY section that tells you what to enable in alpha obd to get it to show up on the screen.

Under the vehicle tab there should be a button as well as on the app tab under all apps. It will stay on for about 15-20 seconds and then turn off

For some reason, I can only get mine to display the cargo Cam, I get a blue screen on reverse camera over a certain speed.

I have a 2019 Warlock and all I need to do to get the rearview camera to work while going forward is tap the backup camera icon on the radio. I haven't tested to see how long it will stay on, but I've used it for at least several minutes at a time on numerous occasions . It's worked that way since I bought the truck (new) and I never did any sort of modification with AlfaOBD or anything else. The camea has always stayed on until I shut it off with the little X in the upper right corner, or turn the engine off with the key. And it doesn't make any difference what speed I am going.

Interesting...do you have AlfaOBD? It would be interesting to see if your settings have additional entries. It might also shed some light on it not being in the BCM settings?

Interesting, I have never seen one do that. I show this feature on every test drive.

The ability to drive with the reverse cam on started with the '16 model year, prior years the camera turns off above 10 mph.

Yeah, I have AlfaOBD, but I never did anything with it concerning the camera or the radio.

Did you back up your settings to Google drive? I'd be interested in checking your file if so.

In my 2016 Ram bighorn crewcab, you can use while driving forward for about 10 secs, then reverts back to controls. There is a rear camera button on the screen.

Yes, you even have a button to engage it.

I had a safety recall on my 2019 and took it in. When I picked it up I was told the recall was for a software issue regarding the rear camera. It was staying on while driving and that was apparently a safety issue. I used to be able to turn it on while pulling my boat and its been awhile, but I believe it just stayed on until I turned it back off. Now, I think it goes off after a short time. That might be the ten seconds I've seen some refer to.

Sorry, I could get AlfaOBD to work, but I could never get Google drive to work. I just made a list of the settings that I changed with Alfa. There were't many - just activated the alarm system and activated turn signals and puddle lights on new mirrors.
