making cameras work with directional

[TUBBS07]

2022 PW with surround cameras Has anyone figured out how to make camera come on screen when using directionals. Great for pulling a trailer when lane changing

 

[DanAR]

I can’t imagine that being possible but it would helpfu.

I would just like to be able to set the surround cameras to come when my speed drops to 3 or 4 mph like my wife’s Lexus. That’s really helpful for parking or tight maneuvering.

The best I have come up with is putting the surround camera shortcut up at the top of my screen. But I've noticed it doesn’t light up (become active) until my speed drops to 3 or 4 mph so it does have speed sensitivity programmed to it. I would think it would be a simple step to get it to go one step further and automatically activate.

But I’m not sure the short cut on your screen would help for lane changes due to the speed sensor.

Tazer DT does exactly that and a lot more!

The 2023+ Heavy Duty Rams will display the left or right side mirror camera views with the turn signals. Naviks will do it for 2022+, but it’s really glitchy (it starts off by showing the tailgate camera view before it cycles through and shows the appropriate side mirror camera view. By that time you could have physically looked and changed lanes twice by then).
The tazer only shows the reverse camera view with the turn signals, which seems completely useless to me because I don’t need to see what’s directly behind me when using the turn signals, or your trailer in your situation.

Not the surround view image, but you can use alfaobd on your 2023 to get the front camera to display when the front park sensors start sensing something.

You are wrong. I have a Tazer DT in my truck and when I activate my turn signal I get the back or front camera (my choice on which to display after it’s activated) and it shows the surround view at the same time.
The same camera view selection screen that allows you to cycle through all the different cameras comes on with my turn signal and when the parking sensors senses something close to the front or rear of my truck.

How long does it take to activate? I was strongly considering the Naviks I linked to above a year or so ago, but the review of significant lag and the cycling through views put me off it.

I'm going to need either a Tazer or AEV pro-snap soon for tire size change, anyway.

Comes on as soon as I activate the turn signals so it pretty quick and goes away when the turn signal turns off. I will take a video tomorrow and post.

The OP has a 2022 Power Wagon, so the Tazer is not an option anyway, since they don’t have a Tazer product for 2019+ 2500/3500’s.
Even with the Tazer DT on a 1500, I can’t see the use of any camera view that the surround view camera system offers to be useful when using the turn signals:
- I don’t know how the rear camera image can be useful when changing lanes.
- Obviously the front camera image is of no use when changing lanes.
- I’m not seeing anything in the overhead surround view image that can show anything meaningful when changing lanes.
- The side mirror camera images on a 1500 aren’t useful either, since they display a straight to the ground curb view.

The only useful way to utilize a turn signal camera for the Rams is on the 2500/3500’s with surround view because their side mirror cameras display an image looking straight back at the lanes down each side of the truck behind the mirrors. This is what the OP is wanting to see when pulling a trailer.

The 2023+ 2500/3500’s have turn signal cameras as a factory feature. Here’s a video of me using a canbus device, similar to a tazer or Naviks, to retrofit the factory turn signal camera feature on my 2017 2500. This is how Naviks should have programmed their device to work.

Even after all that, I’ve ultimately disabled the feature. I can’t see the usefulness of any type of turn signal camera, mainly because I don’t even hit the turn signal until I already know I’m clear to change lanes. That, and it’s annoying that the camera screen comes up every time I use the turn signal but don’t need to see the camera image, such as in a turning lane.

How did you do that? Assume I'm a moron with technology like this and type slow.

That's way faster than what I saw with Naviks. If they come out with the same for my year 2500, I'd buy it for sure.

Thanks for taking the time to post it, I appreciate it.

No problem and your welcome.

I have it enabled on my '24 dually. It is handy to check for cars hanging it in your blind spot when changing lanes, but the main reason I wanted it was to check curb clearance when pulling a long trailer. Our old toy hauler was 41' and by the time the trailer axles got to the corner it was out of the range of the spot mirrors. Unfortunately, when moving it times out too quickly to be useful for that purpose.

I have a Naviks box...and installed after market cameras under my side mirror...when I turn on the turn signals, the image is instantly displayed on my Uconnect 5 display...I don't have a PW but this solution works on my 2022 1500 Lone Star.

Nice camera hacks. Any way to keep my Exhaust Brake and Tow/ Haul activated? 3500 2024 Longhorn. While the trailer is connected, Exhaust Brake lingers, but Tow/ Haul turns off with the ignition.

That's exactly why we never purchased a naviks for our 2020, sure would be a nice feature to have though since we are ful time rvers
