Has anyone added a cargo camera to a 2014 2500? Can it be done with Alpha OBD? Any recommendations for brands/parts? I have the 8.4 in screen and backup camera currently.
Thanks
Jason

If you have a 2014 radio I think the answer is no. If it is a 2016 and newer radio then you can get the cargo camera button (I'm pretty sure that's how it works).

I had a 2014, and if you had the back up camera, you could not have the cargo camera too. My 3500 was loaded when I bought it, and was really shocked it didnt have the cargo camera. I was told that the head unit could either support one or the other , but not both cameras.

I saw a kit that has a toggle switch to go between the two cameras but I believe it only works in reverse. Not sure how good it is.

I just posted my aftermarket cargo camera install. I used alpha obd to activate 8.4 radio. 2018 ram tradesman 3500. Mine is 4th gen I think your is is also 4th gen so yes you can activate probably with alpha obd.

jdeere5105 i activated camera with alpha obd before I did actual install just see if it would show up on radio and it did. It gave me the selection for cargo cam and blue screen.

I need to try and see if I can do that with the alpha obd on my truck prior to anything else before i go to far.
