This Dodge Challenger 360 camera installation adds a full four-camera surround view to the car’s original Uconnect 8.4″ screen, with no new monitor and no visible wires. Weiss Auto Concept installed and calibrated the system on a 2023 Dodge Challenger in one working day in Dubai.
What the Customer Asked For
The owner wanted a 360 camera that works on the original Uconnect screen, without replacing the factory monitor. His main question was whether any wires would be visible after installation. The answer was no: every cable runs behind the factory rubbers and trim covers.
How the 360 Camera Connects to the Original Uconnect Screen
The 360 system sends its image directly into the factory display through an interface board. The Uconnect 4C 8.4″ head unit in the 2023 Challenger is built by Panasonic and uses an LG Display panel. We removed the head unit, opened it and fitted an LVDS interface board between the main board and the screen’s ribbon cable. The 360 control module then feeds its 1024×768 video into the original screen.
The module is also connected to the car’s CAN bus. It reads reverse gear, left and right turn signals and vehicle speed, so the right camera view appears automatically.
Camera Positions and Colour-Matched Finish
The system uses four AHD cameras for a clear, sharp image:
- Front: inside the front grille
- Rear: above the number plate
- Left and right: under each side mirror, sealed with a rubber ring
Our team painted all four cameras to match the Challenger’s body colour, so they blend into the car instead of standing out.
Features: Dynamic Guidelines, 3D View and 4-Camera Recording
- Dynamic guidelines: the front and rear parking lines turn with the steering wheel. This makes parking between two lines in tight Dubai car parks much easier.
- Automatic views: reverse gear, turn signals and low speed switch the camera view on their own.
- 3D and bird’s-eye view: a top-down view of the whole car, plus a 3D view that shows the car from different angles.
- 4-camera recording: with a USB drive connected, all four cameras record while the car is on.
- Original reverse camera kept: the factory camera was not removed. The system is set to 360, and the owner can switch back to the original camera at any time.
One Limitation on the Dodge: Touch Control
On the Dodge Challenger, the factory touchscreen does not control the 360 camera. The system is operated with a supplied remote control, and a mouse-controlled version can also be ordered.
This is specific to the Dodge Uconnect system. On Range Rover, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, we have installed 360 systems on the original monitor where the factory touchscreen does control the cameras.
Installation and Calibration in One Day
This 360 camera system is ordered from the factory for each car model, so it is not always in stock. Once it arrived, the full installation took one working day.
After fitting, the system was calibrated with calibration mats on the ground around the car. Correct calibration is what makes the bird’s-eye image line up accurately, so the lines on screen match the real distance to kerbs and other cars.

Dodge Challenger 360 Camera FAQ
Can I add a 360 camera to my Dodge Challenger without changing the screen?
Yes. A 360° camera system can be added to the original Uconnect 8.4″ screen through an interface board fitted inside the head unit. No new monitor is needed.
Will any wires be visible after the 360 camera installation?
No. All cables run behind the factory rubbers and trim covers, so nothing is visible inside or outside the car.
Does the 360 camera work with the Dodge Uconnect touchscreen?
No, not on the Dodge Challenger. The system is controlled with a remote or a mouse, depending on the version ordered. On Range Rover, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the original touchscreen does control the 360 system.
Do the parking lines move with the steering wheel?
Yes. The system reads the car’s CAN bus, so the front and rear guidelines turn as you steer.
Can the 360 camera record video?
Yes. With a USB drive connected, it records all four cameras while the car is on.
Is the original reverse camera removed?
No. The factory reverse camera stays in place, and you can switch back to it at any time.
How long does the 360 camera installation take?
About one working day, including calibration.
