14 RAM 1500 Canada Truck

[Hungrycat7]

Hello All,

Brand new to Dodge ownership and brand new to the forum. Just purchased a 14 RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI Sport. Truck has only 35,000 miles and looks and drives like it is brand new. The truck came from Canada and is missing certain technology that I would love.

First, there are no apps available on the UConnect system. From what I've read, this is because the truck is a Canadian truck. According to the research I have done, adding this feature can be expensive and slightly difficult. Does anyone have a step by step and approximate cost to convert?

Second, there is no backup camera. I do have the large screen in the dash though. Can I just purchase the OEM camera and install? Does the truck come pre-wired and flashed to support the conversion?

Sorry for the questions that may have already been answered but I already love the truck and am excited to see what else it can do!

Know that Canadian vehicles, and so most Canadians, get limited functionality with tech stuff like you're after. If you are looking for a specific app, that might help know where to point you. Do you know your radio version and/or part number? You can update the radio software, though! I just finished updating my radio software today, so I can answer any questions you have. I now have "Apps" showing up where it didn't before, but can't really install anything, because yeah, Canada.

You could go for an OEM camera, but from what I understand, you either need to have a dealer activate the feature or write the change yourself. Look into AlfaOBD and the OBDLink adapters, they are cheap enough.

Welcome to the club!
