Front camera

A front camera is optional. Make sure you don’t have the 360° camera option. I believe it came with the tech package and was standard on lvl 2 trucks.
If you do not have it. Your best bet is to look on 5thgenrams.com. Someone has likely figured a way to add it and used AlfaOBD to program it in.
Good luck! It’s a huge help for low speed off-roading.

does anybody know if you can somehow use the front camera as a dash cam where you can set it to record?
I asked the same question 6 months ago and the answer is no. You would think all the cameras could be on a short 5 minute loop that you could use.
The
the fact that they haven’t been able to make it work that way with the Tazer or another aftermarket part boggles my mind
I’m waiting on a few more parts and I am attempting to add an aftermarket camera to the front and enabling as the cargo camera. I will report back if I’m successful
Please do. In the meantime, I’m got the mopar auxiliary trailer cams on my short list. Plan to find a way to turn them into cargo bed & front camera (my front cam is partially blocked by Pod LEDs on Pre-runner mount)
If it boggles your mind why don’t you create it?
Maybe because electronic manufacturing isn’t my job? I have a profession like everyone else. Someone who specializes in that field created the Tazer dt and other similar products it’s just an extra feature that I’m surprised isn’t available.
To record with the front camera, you would need to tie into that feed and use a separate system to capture the data and make sure you were not corrupting the factory system. For the record it works great for parking and aligning my truck when pulling into the garage, but like the tailgate cam its not HD quality.
The easy fix is to buy a dash cam designed for capturing HD video. That is what I did with a Black Vue DR750 2CH LTE system, $400 and done!

That’s my point tho. People say this about every industry they don’t know, and act like it should just be done because it’s so simple or something. People in charge also do this all the time when they don’t have the technical knowledge or experience and are put in charge because of some degree or nepotism. You would need to connect every shitty quality camera to a custom built board with pass through to the stock infotainment system so you don’t lose functionality. Hope that the raw video feed isn’t some proprietary bull shit and then create a way to access your custom built computer easily and reliably. It would be 100x less expensive and easier to install multiple dash cams already designed for this purpose. Not to mention as previously posted the quality and resolution would probably be fucked.
/end rant
Nothing against you, just a mentality that is common and people should change their frame of mind on.
