It works on the 2021s just fine. They’re all the same settings, there’s just a few missing that you can’t enable yet, like the reverse trailer steering module and the digital rear view mirror. Other than that, everything else can still be enabled.
I have a 2020 Ram 3500 HD. Anyone with a 2020 try to add the digital rear view mirror yet?

You would have to get a 2021 bcm for it to work. Not worth it in my opinion don't think it would work in an hd anyways.

2021 HD has digital mirror, why wouldn't it work *IF* a BCM swap works?
Did not know that and from my experience with the 1500 is that you need a new bcm for it to work. There is new programing added to the 21 that the 19 and 20 do not have. It is tge same bcm in 1500 and hd

I had the chance to play with the alpha odb today and when I enabled the pin 16 my bed lights still didnt work, the push button on the drivers light would turn on the upper cargo light but no power to the bed lights. I had to select one more option for the pin 5 and once I did that the lights worked :)
Here are some screen shots so others will know which options to select.
Thanks! Confirmed working on my 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn. Activated bed lighting.

Question, I am having issues setting the TPMS low pressure threshold on my 2020 2500. Below is a pic of what I am seeing.
View attachment 84005

I have successfully set the low level to 25psi, yet I still get the error.
I just rotated the tires and the red tires/numbers are now showing in the front.
I have driven the truck for a good 3k miles like this and have no idea how to get rid of the tire pressure light.

Any ideas?
Thanks guys!


What bypass cable did you use? Did you update the RFH?

I was able to successfully change my 19 power wagon to 40 psi using alpha and a kaodtech bypass. I did not update the RFH and it works fine. I've tested it by dropping the pressure until it trips and reinflating.

You may or may not have to get a PIN and reset the RFH.

read the whole I’m guessing no one has figured out to disable the ascent leds in the head lights when you turn them off?
How about turning the brightness of the dash down when the lights are turned to off. That dam thing is so bright you can land a airplane with it

To turn the accent lights off- CBC Extern Light Calibr: Signature Light Present- NO
There’s no way to dim the dash lights when the lights are off.

That setting will shut off the upper and lower signature lighting strips above and below the headlamps that are always illuminated when the truck is on. They will still function as the parking lamps at night when the headlights are on.

Jimmy, is there a way to leave the upper and lower LED signature light strips on and turn off the headlights in day time and just use the strips for DRL’s?

Yes, go into your radio settings under lights, and select daytime running lights to toggle them off. Unless it’s a Canadian build- then you’ll need to change CBC Features: DRL Configuration to “optional DRL”, and CBC Features: DRL Lamp Location to “no DRL”.

@Jimmy07 Is there a way with AlfaOBD to see if the truck is seeing TPMS sensors? I got some supposedly OEM sensors(they have the correct part number) for my wheels and the truck still hasnt picked them up. Probably going to have to get Discount Tire to swap the ones over from my factory wheels but didnt know if there was a way to verify if the current ones are dead

Connect to the RF Hub, and read the system status. Scroll down to where it says number of TPMS sensors. See if it picked up on the four ID numbers.

Thanks, I'll try that! If it does pick up on the ID numbers is there a way for the truck to actually start reading them?
