I finally got them to click in ... everything is good ... got video and soft button on the screenget a bigger hammer? did you crimp on a pin?
the trailer connection isn't an AV connection, so I'd have to think it's not possible.
Any way to use this to install a trailer camera and run it through the 7pin trailer connector? Just purchased a trailer so looking at options for backup cameras. I would definitely like the clean look of using the factory head unit screen.
It's possible, but it would be more of a setup like this and you'd need to run your own AV cable, it would be limited to 10ish seconds view time while in motion and requires you to set a few options as well as modify the radio harness...The "Go Around" on our 4th Gens if you have a tailgate camera is to make or have made a T Adapter harness for the tailgate plug.

Then you'll have the conventional power and RCA plugs for universal cameras.
I bought the T harness adapter from a member here. Give me a minute and I'll find his info and come back to edit it in here.

Reposting info here in a separate thread with more detail for anyone interested... 2 LockPicks have failed on me so I won't go that route again. I had every input on the LockPick in use so I was left with a Digital TV tuner and front/cargo/left/right cameras inoperable. @Mpgrimm2 let me...www.ramforum.com
So your setup let you install a universal trailer camera and use the two camera settings like this thread setup? Or does it just replace the tailgate camera when connected?I did what I explained above. The only wiring I ran was on my 5th wheel trailers. To view it I click camera on the stock radio. My truck is a 2018 Limited so it already has the cameras.
Replaces tailgate camera when hooked up. I can't see anything from the tailgate camera anyways when hooked to a 5th wheel. You still have 2 camera selections on the screen.So your setup let you install a universal trailer camera and use the two camera settings like this thread setup?

Do you know if this works on a 1500 as well? That would be perfect to just switch cameras. I dont have the two camera selections enabled since 1500s dont have the cargo camera but wouldnt really need it.Replaces tailgate camera when hooked up.

Will check with him, thanks for posting that upI don't "know" but don't see why it wouldn't. Mpgrimm2 might know. His profile page is linked above.

my 2016 Sport has the cargo camera. I enabled it to get my front camera working using alfa-obdDo you know if this works on a 1500 as well? That would be perfect to just switch cameras. I dont have the two camera selections enabled since 1500s dont have the cargo camera but wouldnt really need it.
I upgrade to an 8.4 on my 2018 and enabled it with Alfa even without a camera plugged in. The softkey is present when I am ready to get a camera installed.my 2016 Sport has the cargo camera. I enabled it to get my front camera working using alfa-obd
one long cordI know I can enable the cargo camera with Alfa, I was trying to figure out how to feed a trailer camera into the cargo camera screen.
