Model B has been out for a while but only fits TRX's, Laramies, maybe some others... I've been waiting since December for this Model A to come out for the Bighorn's. If you're not famiiar with them, it replaces most of the black plastic below your rear view mirror. The wiring plugs directly into the OEM wiring below the mirror, completely hidden. Should be a 5 or 10 minute install.

I haven't been to NJ since Aug 2018, but when home, on the shore, it was soooooooo built up. I think now if I would run home, back to the "shore", I would definitely think of investing. PLS do report back on the system and install pls.

I'm sure it is.

My dash cam was supposed to be delivered between June 15th and 29th but surprisingly it showed up on the 13th. The quality seems decent and it looks like an OEM piece. It comes with a trim removal tool, 64 GB memory card and a USB adapter for the card. There are instructions for setting it up with WIFI and for the app, but no instructions for removing the original housing and installing the new pieces. It's different than installing the Type B model. Though, I found this Youtube video which helped alot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5V5CV-xPT0 Once the pieces are removed, the rest is plug and play and then snapping the new pieces into place. Looking at the camera resolution on the app seems decent, but I have not yet downloaded any of the videos. I attached a few pics and I circled in blue the connection you plug in to.

Wonder if that would fit in a 2500 Bighorn?

Wish they had it for a 4th gen, that's awesome

Check their website. I believe they list it for 15,25,3500 models. There are currently only 2 model of cameras for the rams. Their customer support is pretty quick with replies so I'd recommend emailing them and asking your questions

I installed mine on Monday. I like it. Looks like it came from the factory. One thing I should note, the camera is not set to 4k resolution. You need to go into the setting and change it is you want 4k

Looks really good for a night video!

 

[CanuckRam1313]

That's really decent video quality & congrats on the OEM style fitment!

Regardless of the make/model, having front and rear cameras installed on ones vehicle in today's world is paramount for ones own protection and peace of mind!

I just had a Thinkware Q1000 front and rear camera installed in my 19' Classic with the 128GB card and love the quality and security it provides me with. I also had the optional radar sensor installed on the front windshield, too.

IMHO, we shouldn't be without them in our vehicles, js!

Did you get the rear cam that's available with it?

Exactly, a rear cam is so important!
The a z z clowns that cause rear impact collisions are just as ludacris!

I received a 3% reduction in my insurance after I sent the invoice in for my front and rear dash cam installation.
