HOW TO: Add Factory Front Trail Camera to Gladiator (DIY Writeup)

[Gasior]

There is a video cable there. If you don't have the front camera its the cable from the rear camera.
My cvpm is under the passanger seat right now but will go in the center console.

Do you need to run all cables (power, 3x video, CAN) to center console? I am guessing wire harness is specific to your car's features and will not have those connectors in the console.

All the cables and wires run to the cvpm. The first few posts show all the cable and wire diagrams.

I figured I’d start a new writeup for the integrated trail camera system, so everything is in the first couple of posts, and I’ll edit these initial posts as needed if new/updated info comes along. I realize some of this is redundant, but it will all be in one spot instead of spread out through several pages.

To get the factory front trail camera and washer to work, it is an entire system that consists of: front trail cam, washer parts and pump, CVPM (central vision processing module), wiring, software to tell the BCM to use the system, and rear camera (no, you can not use your existing rear camera). The CVPM is the centerpiece of the system, and processes the camera images, sends them to the display, and sends the wash command. It needs a connector (which won’t be present) that supplies ignition power, ground, and wiring to the CAN IHS block to bring it online. It receives the front and rear camera inputs via coax cable, and sends the images to the display via coax cable. It’s location is on the back wall, behind the subwoofer (if equipped). Here’s a few images of it I grabbed from the other thread. Note the location of the CAN IHS junction block that the CVPM will connect to-

Here’s the list of all the OEM parts needed. If I missed any, let me know, and I will update the list as needed:

Front camera- 68436466AA
Front camera bracket- 68396626AB
(2) Camera bracket nut- 06510197AA
(2) camera bracket screw- 68090949AA
Camera grille section- 6QN24RXFAC
CVPM- 68329740AE
(2) CVPM bolts- 06104378AA
(2) CVPM snap nut- 06506955AA
Camera washer hose- 68370828AA
Camera washer nozzle- 68370210AA
Washer nozzle elbow- 68370825AA
Washer Pump- 68310928AA
There is a different part number for the washer pump jumper harness, but I don’t think it’s necessary since the wiring is the same except for one different colored wire. @bryanklay will confirm, and I’ll update this.
Rear camera:
Gator- 6NN98VGVAD
White- 6NN98GW7AD
Granite Chrystal- 6NN98LAUAD
Gobi- 6NN98RUAAD
Red- 6NN98MRCAD
Sting gray- 6NN98PDNAD
Black- 6NN98DX8AD
Billet silver- 6NN98JSCAD
Hydro blue- 6NN98MBJAD
Punkn- 6NN98SE4AD

I am starting way late in the game to accomplish this with a 22 EcoDiesel JT, has anything changed? Some of the parts are not available to complete the wiring conversion.

What's not available? I have a 22 EcoDiesel and I am gathering parts to install it on mine but haven't run into any issues yet.

It was the 20 foot female to female coax, but I found it in later threads on eBay. I'm kind of in the middle of waiting though because I want to put the armorlite flooring down once I start removing the seats.

Are you talking about the CVPM harness mentioned in Post #2 & #3?

Coax lengths are irrelvant. Size them to where you place the CVPM.

Can you link that thread. I am genuinely curious as to what cable you need that is 20ft. I am still collecting everything to install mine. I have everything but the cameras and CVPM. I haven't seen any thread that mentions a cable that long. I have this document that goes over the installation and doesn't mention it either. I would hate to get half way into my install and find out I am missing a cable.

Well if I have to "modify" from the standard schematics, that's ok, dealer won't do it so...

This is a well put guide, cudos to poster that made this.

The link came from Jim in this thread earlier for this cable:

There is still the jumper cable I'm trying to find, it's not available on Amazon, the micro2 fuse holder:

I didn't want to modify mine so I actually had @Jimmy07 make the harness for me.

Thanks, I will go back through this thread. I didn't actually read the entire thread. If you haven't already you might take a look at this thread which is geared for the EcoDiesel TrailCam install which is slightly different from the Gas Version.
