I get absolutely nothin. No message, chime, black/blue screen.. nothin. That’s what’s so odd.

I ran a BCM Rear Camera Calibration and it says the service procedure was completed successfully. But I cannot find a IPMB module to test.

Is everything good now that you've replaced the battery?

Next step, look at these addresses in Forscan and update if neccesary. Remember to do 1, write, Ignition off and on, and then write the next one. I know you're new to Forscan, so the xxxx means you don't change those digits.

Not all vehicles use an IPMB. If you don't have a PTBA (ProTrailer Backup Assist) or 360° Camera, then your truck doesn't have an IMPB.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for you guys.. The BCM was already written correctly but the FCDIM had a 0 value instead of 2.

IT WORKS!!!

Thank you so much for your help!!

Glad that I could help you. Especially since mine still doesn't work LOL
I feel like it could be because the video signal wants to come through the APIM (Which I don't have). So I'll start fighting with it again once I get my apim wired in.

I always mix them up. FCDIM is the bezel and FDIM is the screen right? or am I backwards?

FCDIM - Front Control Display Interface Module
This is the small 4.2" screen

FDIM - Front Display Interface Module
This is the large 8" touchscreen

FCIM - Front Control Interface Module
This is the center bezel which includes the HVAC controls. it is used with either the FCDIM or FDIM. When used with the FCDIM there are buttons on each side of the display. When used with the FDIM there are no button next to the display.
FCIM for FCDIM


FCIM for FDIM

LOL believe me I understand the frustration of not having it work! Hopefully you get yours sorted quick.

How did you know to look there? Like how would I have known to check that specific value? Is there a master programming guide that I would cross reference.

As someone who's truck didn't originate with a backup cam, I've been doing some research into how to install one. Especially when I had to replace the bed and the new bed came complete with tailgate and backup cam.
I also replace my steering wheel in order to get cruise control buttons. It was in researching one of those two procedures, that I came across livinitup's asbuilt spreadsheet and those two values were the ones I changed in order to try and enable the backup camera. Since you weren't getting the camera not available message it sounded to me like your truck didn't know that you had a backup camera.
