To pile on what @chrisbh17 said, many parts from the 5th Generation Heavy duty trucks should fit 4th generation Rams from the cab (excluding the dash) on back to the rear bumper.
Thanks for the info!
For programming, all you need is the MX. MX+ provides IOS support, for other apps.. ALFA does not support IOS, so the additional cost isn't really worth it, since you're not interested in other capabilities, outside of ALFA.
Either one is fine, the developer recommends either one. The advantage of the MX+ is that you can use it with iOS devices but AlfaOBD is only for Android or Windows
I'm using a regular MX with no problems, the MX+ is just a newer version
I have only installed the backup camera kits from Mopar which install the same way it would if it was equipped from the factory so I don't have any first hand knowledge with their kit. I can tell you that if the truck has a blue screen would appear it is looking for the camera signal but can't find it which should show the codes are set. The only trucks that have a factory backup camera that would send the signal to the rearview mirror are trucks equipped with the RA1 non touch screen radio and the 13 to 15 trucks with the 8.4" radio that have the backup camera with the Cargo Cam option. If you haven't enabled the Cargo Cam it should send the signal to the radio. If it was trying to send the signal to the rearview mirror you shouldn't get a blue screen on the radio. The kit from Mopar actually has three wires that pin into the connector on the back of the radio that sends the camera signal and another trigger wire that pins to the BCM in the factory location to activate the camera when in reverse. If I remember correctly I think Infotainment uses a big harness that goes between the radio connectors and the radio. Hopfuly someone who has installed there system will chime in and be able to help you trouble shoot it. I would go through all of your install again just to verify you have installed everything correctly and then possibly call them to help you troubleshoot if no one hear can answer your question. I have seen a few cases in the past with people getting a bad harness when trying to install the Infotainment Cargo Cam harness. It's unlikely you have a bad harness so not saying that's your issue but it does happen.
The fan I think doesn't blow until up to temperature...I never noticed exterior mirrors dimming...When remotely started all my lights come on and when I unlock the doors my 3rd brake light (led white light) illuminates the bed..
