    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    Can you confirm/deny if you had heated tow mirrors before? If not, do you have heat now? If you already had heated tow mirrors, you should have heat without having to do anything. I want to confirm you can do from unheated to heated after the ODBGenie. Thanks! Glad you got it done. $800 isn't...

    2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn loaded towing mirrors swap with regular or sport Mirrors

    I wondered the same thing. Why is the passenger so different? All I can come up with is the angle. It is farther out and not having that far right edge be normal mirror makes all the difference. It's the elimination of the fish eye and the replacement of just a few more inches of regular mirror...

    2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn loaded towing mirrors swap with regular or sport Mirrors

    There is a whole series of threads going about tow mirror changes, but the most general one is https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/replacing-my-tow-mirrors-with-power-folding-10-cyber-monday.4103/ It starts out with the Infotainment option of buying a full conversion kit from them then...

    Makes sense. The pic I posted was from under the hood.

    AlfaOBD

    Looks like two to me. I am confused though because it looks like 48 is blank in the space right below the pink fuse in 47 in the circle, but I have the rain-sensing wipers. Either way, I hope the photo helps.

    Need Help in changing mirrors

    This has all been explained many places in this forum. Yes it is easy to do and it costs about $500 to replace mirrors one for one with no other changes. See https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/replacing-my-tow-mirrors-with-power-folding-10-cyber-monday.4103/page-18. On page 18 is where...

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    I think the auto-folding is due to programming in Tazer if that is what you mean. I am tracking the standard system would be to push the button on the door panel every time you wanted to fold or unfold them.

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    Great recap! I just did the mirrors so far. Debating if I care enough to get the modules and ODB Genie for power folding. I do, however, want defrost. Did you happen to have the all black tow mirrors without heat before upgrading? Want to verify you got the heat working with ODBGenie. I read a...

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    They are power fold capable with module change (and software/ODBGenie) as far as I am tracking. I have seen many people use these and update the modules and flash the BCM to work. I didn't do it myself which is why I caveat my statement.

    Textured/plain black like the tow mirrors are.

    Key Fobs and LED interference

    I can confirm the JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright 2000 Lumens 360-Degree Shine 921 912 90-EX Chipsets LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White that you have in the original post do indeed interfere with my key fob. If I have the tailgate open or any door open, I can't use the key fob. When...

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    I have not seen a write-up, but it's not the same as in the infotainment video. 2019 has the door handle still attached and the cables going from the door switch. Also a bunch of the plastic joining pieces (not sure what they are called). The 2018 was as simple as remove bolts and pull. Not so...

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    Did NOT replace modules and BSM works. Makes sense since it worked before. New module only adds power folding ability from what I can gather. BSM, heat, puddle lights all function with one module. I just plugged the new mirror cords right into the same place on the module. Pretty easy actually.

    Auto stop/start feature and excessive wear on the starter ?

    It isn't the same concept as simply turning off the engine manually and back on again like your friend is suggesting. There have been cars using this tech for many years. They figured out the right materials to support the frequent starting and stopping I think. It's too simplistic to assume...

    Post your Rebel pics!

    For sure. Right after I got mine, a guy who just bought a 2018 within a few days came to check out my new body style. He got his after the 2019s were out and got a good deal so he went with the older one thinking it was not a big difference. I think he had a lot of buyer's remorse when he really...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Swapped out my tow mirrors for regular ones. Didn't do the modules or enable power fold, just better visuals. Happy with the cost/time for the gain. Trying to get the heat enabled by the dealer. Have heard from others it isn't possible, but I will try next time I am in there.

    A/C Performance

    If you use the AUTO TEMP CONTROL is does NOT turn off the engine or the AC compressor until it reaches the desired temperature. I was using mine like you are at, say, 68 degree on A/C and it would do exactly as you said. But I read somewhere else that the engine doesn't turn off when using AUTO...

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    68276503AG and 65276502AG are the black with BSM. I just got them and can verify. I THINK but am not sure the black without BSM and without power fold is 68276500AF and 68276501AF. Here is one on ebay with an actual photo...

    Sales Code Flash (vs ODBGenie or alternate)

    My modules support it and it is available on my same model. I basically downgraded the tow package, so the standard Rebel has the mirrors I have installed. What do you mean "someone like me can add it to a BCM with or without the car"? Thanks.

    Sales Code Flash (vs ODBGenie or alternate)

    I took off my tow mirrors (they are for sale in the buy/sell forum...) and replaced them with regular mirrors. My old mirrors didn't have heat but the new ones do. Need to enable one or two sales codes to turn on the heat. Does anyone have any advice for getting a dealer to do this? I seem to...
