alfaOBD aftermarket rear view camera activation.

[javier_si04]

Hello everyone,
I need help, activating an aftermarket tail gate handle camera for a 2016 Ram1500. I have the alfaOBD but there's a few rear view cameras on the menu. I have the 8.4 stock radio. Help.

Thanks.

On my 2018 Tradesman the display is in the rearview mirror not the radio.

I activated anything that pertained to the rear view camera, backed out of the nvm then shut truck down for a half hour. Came back and it worked

Thanks.

Did this replace an oem camera? Did the truck have a backup camera before?

No, I got the camera from eBay with a harness for rear view canera

How did you hook it up to the radio? I installed the mopar kit and it had me wire it to the radio, bcm, and front fuse block

I connected the harness to the one that connects to the radio them connected it back to the radio

So once your are connected with alfaobd, select bcm in the first menu select rear camera grid display, then go into change configuration as you scroll down through the menu click on any rear camera pods you see and activate. Once through back out of Alfa obd and disconnect, turn off truck and wait 30 min. That should do it. As for what particular lines you need to access and what they are called I don’t know I would have to boot up my Alfa obd and look. This is what I did to activate my camera twice. Hope this helps
