If I buy this and install it and then decide, I don't want it and remove it, will the obd genie work for another truck, or is it programmed to the vin and only for my truck?
The OBD genie will be tied to the vehicles VIN# once it has been initiated. So you would need to purchase a new programmer to initiate programming in a new vehicle.
Awesome video, you make the process seem very simple! I plan on doing this with my ‘15 1500 express, only thing is it’s an aftermarket pioneer NEX 4200. I know it’s got inputs for dual camera so I’m assuming I’ll just need the find the camera input and plug into that since I won’t have the stock blue connector?
Correct most have RCA connections. However you will need a switch for Cargo. Camera source should be able to help for aftermarket radios. www.camerasource.com/
You unfortunately will need to upgrade the radio to an 8.4" to have a secondary camera input (If you currently have back-up camera). It will also need to be a 2016+ Part number to retain both cameras properly. 2013-2015 require an outdated software version to use both cameras properly.
No that one is not compatible with the 12" screen. Mopar does not offer a cargo camera for the 22+ 1500's. It is only available for the heavy duties at thie time. infotainment.com/shop/exterior-accessories/cargo-cameras/2019-2024-ram-heavy-duty-factory-chmsl-third-brake-led-light-cargo-camera-kit/
The camera loom is also used for our Custom Genuine Mopar Back-up camera kit as well. For the back-up camera, the blue wire is used to tap to the BCM for dynamic guidelines, so the back-up lines move when the steering wheel is turned in reverse. For the 3rd Brake light cargo camera kit, the blue wire won't be used, and can just be tucked away.
@@Infotainment_nav Holy crap you actually answered that! I have read that the camera quality on your CMHSL isn't that good. Is this a general issue or do some ofg them come with sub par optics?
It's the MOPAR camera kit, so for 2013-2018 RAM trucks it is equal to the back-up camera. However, we have seen that when adding a Cargo Camera kit to a New Body RAM that uses digital rear camera, the cargo camera is analog input. So naturally when shifting from a digital camera to the analog CHMSL camera you will see a less defined image when you're so used to the crisp digital back-up camera image. Hopefully someday there will be a digital solution for the Cargo camera through MOPAR.
I just bought that kit from your guys and put in 2018 ram 2500. It work perfect, but the CHSML have a second camera few inches to the left side. How your guys make that camera work as well ??
this guy is a great installer. patient and has attention to detail.
Chris is one of the best!

@@Infotainment_nav a switch for power? Or for the feed?
Does this work in a tradesman with the small radio?
You unfortunately will need to upgrade the radio to an 8.4" to have a secondary camera input (If you currently have back-up camera). It will also need to be a 2016+ Part number to retain both cameras properly. 2013-2015 require an outdated software version to use both cameras properly.
Will this work with ‘22 ram 1500 with the 12” screen?

Do you have it for a 25oo 2012
Unfortunately, we don't have an OEM cargo camera option for a 2012 Ram 2500.
