Understood. I know that there are "Load Isolaters" available for adding lights to motorcycles - Custom Dynamics comes to mind - to isolate add-on lights from the BCM. I haven't seen anything similar specifically for auto/truck applications. While there are both manufacturer & model specific...

These would be along the running boards & have 3 functions: running lights, sequential turn signals, & courtesy lamps when the doors open.

Thanks firemedic. Is your Bighorn equipped with full factory LED lighting? It seems OPT7 is saying that is the issue with the install on my truck.

Considering the install of running board lights on my MY2020 1500 Laramie. The OPT7 "Sidekick Sequential Running Board Switchback LED Strip Kit" has caught my eye. When reviewing the info on the "ask a question" portion of the web site, I saw a post from someone who was having an installer...

If you are convinced it's the head unit, (assuming you are out-of-warranty) you either find someone to troubleshoot & repair, replace, or live with it. As for replacing, you could try to find a used unit. If not, Infotainment.com sells them new but at $1700 they aren't cheap. It sucks - good...

Do you have a significant other, or a friend, who you can get together with for a day & see if their phone connects reliably with your unit? If that phone maintains a reliable connection - or it doesn't - you'll know which direction to go.

The one on the left (in the rear) is also a data port. The one on the right is charging only.

Have you tried using a different USB receptacle in the truck - maybe the one on the rear of the console?

I'm not an Apple fan - or an Apple user - but it sounds like the data cable might be faulty. If you haven't done so, I'd first try using a new Apple or high quality cable & see how that works.

Best Buy MA1 Best Buy has the Motorola MA1 Android Auto Wireless dongle on sale for $69.99. I picked one up last night. That's the lowest price I've seen on these. I set it up today - effortless to do -& it worked well for me going to dinner & back home which was a 50 mile round trip. There...

As mentioned, I have a 2020 1500 Laramie with the 8.4, non-nav system. I first noticed that the field in the EVIC I had set to be the compass setting did not show a direction, it was an empty circle. I went to the "U Apps" screen & selected "Compass"; that screen just displayed "Acquiring...

I'm not trying to revive a dead thread - but I have the same problem with my 2020 Laramie with the 8.4 non-nav system. In fact, my radio was recently replaced under warranty & the replacement has the same issue. FWIW, you do not have to call the number to store it in the presets. There is...

I know this is late - you posted in October - but I have a Samsung S22 Ultra & it paired & connects seamlessly with my 8.4 non-nav 4 System. In fact, my radio was replaced twice under warranty (the first time the replacement was defective) & each time I had zero issues connecting my phone to...

Thank you SD Rebel.

My truck is a 2020 1500 Laramie, 8.4 system without nav. Are the dash USB ports always hot? I want to invest in an Android Auto wireless adapter, but having to unplug it every time I shut down the truck would be a pain. Are the dash USB ports timed? Is there anyone using a wireless adapter...
