    Is it possible to add heated regular mirrors in place of town mirrors?

    I literally just did a search for tow mirror swap and there's a flood of results. https://5thgenrams.com/community/search/622997/?q=tow+mirrors+swap&o=date

    Is it possible to add heated regular mirrors in place of town mirrors?

    yes it can be done. has been beaten to death down to a parts bill in another thread and even linked out to parts vendors.

    care to share more? did you go into telemetry or was this pure media player fun?

    AlphaOBD question

    I don't recall anything like that. MDS is part of the powertrain control module, and that is generally off limits for changes via obd2 in our trucks. there's a whole PCM unlock requirement for engine performance tuning and thats the area I would expect etorque/MDS functions to fall into.

    Can splicing into reverse light power void warranty?

    tapping into that power via the plug on the bumper is a SUPER easy and trivial to unplug path. It can't tamper with your warranty (for the electrical system) if you don't touch the stock wiring harness. now if you do something radically bad with attaching lights to your plug, that's on you and...

    video/audio in motion

    I have been summoned? note, I still don't do audio/video in motion, but I did get the cargo cam working via alfaobd and a MX+ obd2 adapter after installing a sgw bypass. My current work in this area is getting a goof FD can bus adapter for the raspi so I can send the wakeup commands for the...

    Loud squeaking almost shreaking sound when going over bumps. Can hear from front, back and both sides of truck. Coming from under truck.

    are you braking when going over the bumps? try doing a hard braking a minute or so before going over the bump. does this happen all the time or intermittently?

    video/audio in motion

    I stand corrected. https://www.zautomotive.com/product/tazer-dt/ The more you know! I was thinking about the older models that were 2 piece.

    video/audio in motion

    the taser DT absolutely does NOT have the bypass built in. they sell it in a bundle with the bypass, but it is a discrete part that needs to be installed. ^^^ Edit: That guy is wrong. he was thinking of an earlier model Taser and should be mocked for his addled memory. HAHA OLD MAN! YOU WERE...

    video/audio in motion

    I used alfaobd for that part. I thought you were getting the input option for the camera. Did you install a security gateway module bypass yet? all of this goes nowhere without that.

    video/audio in motion

    do a search for the cargo cam thread I started. it has the step by step and pinout that I used exactly. also, what are you using as a video source?

    Cargo Cam input - Car PC/Telemetry project.

    I've not found anything that I am really certain will do what I want. I am likely going to make my own double braiding and connect to the aluminum case for the pi4 and the head unit, making for a rough shield around the pi and back to the head unit, making it effectively sheathed.

    Consumer Reports' Reliability rating for Ram 1500 - doesn't make sense

    And that's why I leave my annoying as hell collision avoidance braking on. it's a real nuisance during a 3 point turn with elevated curbs. I can turn it off for that. IMMEDIATELY after completing a tight space maneuver that triggers the braking I turn it back on. I also have used it extensively...

    Consumer Reports' Reliability rating for Ram 1500 - doesn't make sense

    brake squeal, brake growl, defective calipers. BODY INTEGRITY. as in some numbnuts in the factory was installing defective mounts to the body that require a cab and bed off replacement because they actually end up damaging the brackets. power equipment - powertrain control module that just...

    video/audio in motion

    The hitch zoom in is a standard thing. once the cargo cam gets set up in firmware things rearrange a bit.

    Cargo Cam input - Car PC/Telemetry project.

    Nice! This is the first time ive had a good built in display for it. I'm also frustrated with fca warranty service and the sgw lockouts. So the things dove together neatly.

    Can my Ram get Coronavirus?

    Personal Hygene only overcomes so much when you work with a building full of hallway floor poopers and trashing the parking lot with condoms folks. I carry my own bleach for other people to gargle. if they are dumb enough to gargle the bleach, they may be the folks I need to disinfect.

    you haven't seen anything yet. Mostly because I forgot where I put the drive with those pics on it. I may have to break out the potato cam again for documentation purposes.

    87 vs 89 octane.

    I bought an ELM327 clone off amazon. Some folks have luck. I did not. I have more patience than money so I then moved on to the MX+. The MX+ was 5x the price but worked straight away and I wanted that so I could focus on the rest of my project.
