I was able to update the firmware after 20 or so attempts powering off and on with the head units power cable. My final attempt where I saw success was after driving around my block for a few minutes then parking and trying again without powering off. I’m unsure if that’s the trick but it started working and then I followed the remaining steps provided in the video. Also, the rear view camera works perfectly for my truck which used the same pin out mentioned.

I have one for my ram 1500 and installing was pretty simple but I haven't got any sort of user manual really, still trying to figure out my way around and how to change settings, one thing I haven't been able to do is connect the network wifi to my phones hotspot which is what I wanted to do most. I can connect via bluetooth, guess I am just oldschool but haven't quite figured out how to get things working hehe.

Your video was inspiring! I bought the model you recommended and have installed it. My 2014 RAM Tradesman did not have a factory camera, so I installed the one included in the kit. It works fine, however the grid lines do not move with the steering wheel. I did not have wires at pins 31 and 32 in the OEM connector harness. The camera power is pulled from the trigger off the head unit and not the reverse tail lights. I thought that would sync the grid lines, but it had no impact. To your viewers here, has anyone figured out how to sync steering wheel and grid lines on the aftermarket camera? Thanks!

@socalexpeditions Жыл бұрын

Those grid lines are a feature of the camera. You wont be able to add those separately from my understanding. At least I haven't heard of anyone adding them

@@socalexpeditionsthanks! I’ll probly go with Ali express just because there’s a lot more info on it in here! I think I’m gonna go with the higher end one ($312). Does it come with the adapters I need for the truck? My truck has the same screen as your old one did. Just looking for a decent upgrade with CarPlay and so I can plug in my amp to it. Thanks for the quick response!!

@@jacobm9574 Yup, it'll come with what you need. The Higher GB ram is worth it, but I'm not sure if $312 is. Pretty expensive

Any idea how to stop the beep every time you push a button on the head unit? Did you use the GPS wire and unit that came with it?

@socalexpeditions Жыл бұрын

Go in the menu settings and turn off the beep. And no, I didn't.

Hello I am from Quebec Canada, I installed the same radio on my 2013 ram, the radio works very well when the engine is running but I cannot make it work on an accessory, is there a way to connect so that the radio works on an accessory.?

@socalexpeditions Жыл бұрын

You need to find a known accessory wire from the trucks harness and tap into it. Not hard, just need to study the pin diagrams and then wire it up. Mine only works on the “Run” position too.

@jeanbrodeur5108 Жыл бұрын

Hello my friend! I'm afraid of destroying the radio, I know which wire to use for it to work on the accessory, but I have to combine the accessory and run wire together if I want to keep the radio's memory, has anyone tried it?

@@Jack8540gmail Hmm...I can't think of what else could do it. Even if you lower it, it goes straight back to loudest volume setting? Have you messaged where you bought it from explaining the issue? Theres one other person who had this issue and I'm not sure how they resolved it.

Yes, it was worth it. It was a beautiful unit. I like everything about it only problem with the volume and thank you for answering all the questions to. I do really appreciate it.
