Sorry. I’m looking for confirmation of the pin out numbers to use on the radio harness

24 is signal and 25 is return

Looks like there is three labeled leads there. Is the third required?

The OEM 3rd brake camera uses Pin 26 for a shield. The Front Cameras don’t use that

I have used Alpine cameras in the past and love them. I'm in the same boat. I want 360 view, with individual camera views, turn signal activates that side camera, and the cargo cam

I've toyed with this for a year and it is hard to dig thru all the crap just to get the simple answers. Biggest issue is how to get the camera signal into the radio display. Looks like a couple good replies I'll have to look into

AlfaOBD seems like more and more reasons to breakdown and buy this. How hard is it to learn and not mess up the truck?? I tried reading the HUGE thread on it but it just makes life worse. Need a readers digest version with all the stupid boiled out of it

Does anyone know proper Name of the terminal that is used to connect into the radio harness? I want to make my own

thanks.

The radio uses 638551-3 or similar depending on wire size.

Look at Big Daddy's thread and YouTube channel. He walks you through some of the AlphaOBD configs and makes it look easy.

Make sure to heed the advice of uploading your default configuration to your Google drive before making any changes. This can reference this if you have problems.

Good luck!

If you have added a front camera to your truck, please post a link and a review.

I have searched and read many threads trying to decide on which camera to buy, it sure would be nice for a single thread just for the cameras that work and have been dependable.

Here's some info I posted previously...multiple cameras and Digital OTA TV if you want.

Ok guys, I bought the Nakita WD-011 from Amazon and mounted it under my license plate bracket by drilling one small hole underneath for the cameras mounting stud. I didn’t want to drill into my grille or anything else permanent and this seemed like a good place that’s not even noticeable. The RCA pigtail from @Mpgrimm2 worked great with no issues. The camera viewing angle is good, I can see my white airdam on each side. The clarity during the day is good but kinda grainy at night.

That's a great spot to mount a thru hole camera!

Thanks, I bought this camera and the coolint flush mounted version to mount in ram head but decided on this location. I kinda like the view looking outward versus downward. The camera itself is very heavy and the housing is metal.

You did an awesome job. Im wanting to add a front camera too. So to confirm, it must be wired correctly like you did and also be turned on through alphaodb as well? So much info about this stuff

It wasn’t difficult at all. The camera plugs into the included harness. The harness has an rca male on one end and T’s off with black/red for power/ground. All I ran into cab was the male rca which plugs into that harness from Mpgrimm2, then made the settings and boom I got a front camera. I already had AlfaOBD so my total investment on this was approx $70.

Just an FYI ....
This only works on 16+ 8.4 radios after the last FCA update (enabling the cargo cam input in conjunction with bu cam).

If you have a 13-15 8.4 radio, you need to get a camera interface/add-on module from PAC, Crux, Nav-Tv, LockPick, or Customtronix.

Looks great!
How much was the harness?
