    Off Road Navigation with Uconnect5?

    Did not find anything on this topic. 2023 Ram 1500 5.7l etorque. Connect 5, 12" screen. I am wondering if it is possible to use topographic maps with the built in tom tom navigation system to take advantage of the vehicle GPS setup? I have used Navigation apps using CarPlay but the GPS route...

    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    Pressing the two outermost keys does not work on my 2023 Ram 1500 Laramie. Just tries to move one of the icons no matter how I try to press and hold them at the same time. Did I miss something? Is there another way to get to this info?

    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    That was pretty much my experience. I installed my own and used alphaobd to turn on the settings. Lots of good help on this forum if you need it.

    I did not add any sales codes. Should I? What am I looking for?

    After market trailer brake controller

    UPDATE: I found that my RAM does indeed have the appropriate connectors taped under the right side of the steering column. I ordered the necessary parts. They arrived today. Installation took about 90 minutes from disassembly, install, to reassembly. I then flashed the truck using AlphaOBD...

    I’ve ordered it. Takes for days to get here. I’ll do the install and probably take it to the dealer to be flashed. I don’t have an android device for using alphaobd to do it myself.

    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    Hi, could you tell me where you ordered your parts from for this project. I’m going to try it on my 2023 RAM 1500 Laramie. I am not familiar with alphaobd. is that just an OBD2 device that plugs in and updates the software or do I need a computer. I have an iphone and and ipad.

    Thanks, I did just that. Attached is a photo of the plugs I found on the right side of the drivers side under dash wrapped in tape. Can you verify if these are the correct connectors? Also, what’s confusing to me is the Mopar description has a note that says in order to install this module...

    Hi, yes, that’s exactly right. I am trying to determine what the connectors look like and exactly where they are wrapped up and stored behind the dash. Looking at some photos of the module, it appears one connector is 4-pin and the other possibly a 10-pin.

    After market trailer brake controller

    Just to clarify, one plug has ten pins and the other four? Are they wrapped together or separate? And are these standard hsrness plugs present on all fifth gen RAMs or is it possible there would only be one? My dealer was nt forthcoming explaining anything to me. They acted like it was an...

    After market trailer brake controller

    Can you tell me where the connector, one or two four pin connectors is located. The dealer was not much help at all. I’ve looked under the steering wheel but I do see anything obvious.

    First time RAM owner. New to the forum. I searched for this topic but did not find anything related to this issue. I have a 2023 Ram 1500 Laramie. I have the tow switch on the dash but no intigrated brake controller. I have a small travel trainer I want to tow. The dealer says I do not have...
