Adding front parking sensor/or camera

[skuppy069]

What are the requisite "supporting mods" needed to successfully install functioning front parking sensors?

Do you have the rear park assist already ?

Well they're no longer answering but I have a 2018 with rear park assist and I have the same question.

What’s your question ?

I want to add the front parking sensors. I have ordered sensors, the wire harness and front/rear module. I'm doing fog lights at the same time. I also plan to add the auxiliary switches and am assuming when I order a new instrument panel I can add one to have the function to turn off the front park sense. Currently I have traction control, tow haul, engine brake and rear sensor switch. Does it sound like I'm on the right track or am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Do you have the blue connector at the park assist module already ?

I'm following this thread because I want to do the same thing. Would you guys mind taking and posting photos as you along? Please?

I haven’t officially pulled the trigger on this but I’m thinking this is my next mod.

Any suggestions? 2015 2500.

I'm in the process of adding front sensors to my 2014 Ram 2500. So far it looks like it will work. My only issue is that I bought a bad batch of non-functional sensors off eBay (verified that they were bad via AlfaOBD), but I ordered OEM ones that should come next week.

The tricky part is getting the harness that connects the bumper harness to the module. I had to make one by ordering a Mopar connector repair kit (
68030130AA) and splicing it with 9 ft of wiring to an 8 pin pigtail (ordered from findpigtails.com). Once I replaced the rear only module with the module that supports front and rear (68141530AJ), the truck recognized it and the "service front sensors" message came up. I still had to use AlfaOBD to get the Uconnect to give me all the options and to get it fully working.

Last thing I'll need is the dash button panel with the front parksense button, which I ordered.

So, for people who have a 2013-2015 Ram 2500 or 3500 or a 2013 Ram 1500, it's possible to add OEM front parking sensors, provided you have the supporting mods.

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you got it working - that's very good news. I'm in the process of adding front sensors to my 15 Ram 2500 which already has rear PTS. I already did the required AlfaOBD tuning and bought the 68030130AA. I then grabbed 68141530AG from ebay (should be functionally identical to the AJ) but when I plug it in the truck throws a bunch of error codes. I am mostly concerned about B222A "Vehicle Line Mismatch". Looks like my truck does not like the new module and refuses to work with it.

AFAIK the HD lineup did not get front sensors until 2016 so it is not a factory option for my truck. The control unit I got was pulled from a 2016 Ram 1500. Could you confirm if your module was pulled from a later 2500? Chilton Library says those modules "cannot be flashed" - I'm thinking maybe those have different programs for different truck models.

Bringing back an old thread, is there a way to add the parking assist off buttons to the radio venter stack and have them fuctional?
