๐Ÿ“˜ Installation & Troubleshooting Guide

2019โ€“2024 Ram Heavy Duty Factory CHMSL Third Brake LED Light Cargo Camera Kit


โš ๏ธ Important System Note: Uconnect 4 vs. Uconnect 5 Compatibility

Your Ram HD truck may be equipped with either Uconnect 4 or Uconnect 5, depending on the model year and trim level. Identifying your system is critical, as the installation steps and required harnesses differ.

๐Ÿ”น Uconnect 4 (2019โ€“2021):

  • Uses C-INTC4T T-harness.

  • Requires full RCA routing from third brake light to radio.

  • Must complete Steps 6โ€“16 (cargo camera harness routing).


๐Ÿ”น Uconnect 5 (2022+):

  • Uses C-INTC6T passthrough harness.

  • Simplified integration: no need to route RCA through the cab.

  • โœ… You may skip Steps 6โ€“16 entirely if installing on a 2022+ Ram with Uconnect 5.



๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Installation Steps

Radio & Harness Prep

Step 1โ€“5:

  • Remove the radio bezel and disconnect all connectors.

RCA & Camera Connections

๐Ÿ”ธ Uconnect 4 (Step 16):

  • Plug cargo camera RCA into C-INTC4Tโ€™s camera input.

  • Reconnect all factory plugs into the radio.

  • Reinstall radio bezel and trim.

  • Secure with T20 screws.


Programming with OBD Genie

Steps 22โ€“23:

  • Install the Security Gateway Module Bypass.

  • With vehicle in RUN, wait 1 minute, then plug in Genie programmer.

  • Wait for solid green light to confirm success (1โ€“3 minutes).
