Adding a Backup Camera

The programming is really easy to do with the alfaobd app and a suitable connector. I've been poking around my 12 RT and have turned on all kinds of different things. Including my reverse camera that still needs to be put in.

Also this is the camera I picked up after reading up on a different thread. Just swaps out for the license lamp assembly.

I used this interface to connect to the car through alfa obd.

Once connected you will want to enter into the body computer as seen. Then click on the little car with the hood open at the bottom right. That brings you to this page. Open the menu at the bottom and scroll down to car configuration change.

From there enter the lower menu on the next page and select vehicle config 2: Rear camera present.

Once there open the new lower menu select set and the click start. It should update the info to set as shown. Then after a key cycle your deck should look for the camera signal. Hopefully this helps.

Hello JF, First of all thank you for the procedure you sent me. I saw your OBD-II interface so I assume you have a 2015+ Challenger or Charger.... Mine is a 2010 and by checking on Alfaobd website, I found that I would need the OBDlink LX model for my car. I have bought an iCar Pro OBD interface ( Photo 1 ) and even if it is recongnized by the Alfaobd software, it seems it cannont set the parameter for the backup camera because I get an error message after pressing the start button telling me Procedure completed, but status is unknown. No Control Unit Confirmation received for the write request. This usually mean an OBD interface issue. If the problem persist you might need to use a different ODB interface. ( Photo 2 ) According to Alfaodb website I would need this interface ( Photo 4 ). Well I hope this time if I buy another OBD interface that it will work because I know that the camera works when plugged into an external monitor. My radio is a Mygig RHR model with this plug in connector C3 ( Photo 3 ). Could it be possible that the radio needs an extra 12v signal coming from the backup camera ?
My Challenger is a 12 R/T M6 so it should be very similar to yours if not identical.
