I crosspost because it matters in mods and in the stereo section where this really counts for adding to the uconnect setup. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/i-warned-you-all-that-i-would-make-a-cargo-cam-input-thread.18394/ If you want to talk about it, DM me or post in the original...

Some folks do liftkits. some like mud. I want a talking car that will kill the ignition, call me on the phone, play skinny puppy on the radio at full blast with the heat set at max for when my truck is stolen. I'd also like to have a irrefutable telemetry log of the running of the truck with a...

And down here I'll keep versioning information, maybe some links to package downloads, links to contributing projects like can linux, shopping links. after that we can all talk about what a terrible idea this was and how I should just be happy with what FCA sold me.

to polish things up I'll get cheeky here with a bit of a telemetry dashboard to show off the cool stuff you don't get with your main dashboard display.

Then I am gonna talk a lot about the DVR install here. this is going to be a standalone posts worth of mess. I may end up just linking over to another thread for that. what stays here is the USB capture card integration to allow for DVR UI passthrough from the camera controller to the head unit...

This stuff will be about looking up sensor data from CAN bus and then replying back with other cool stuff so we can make things happen that FCA didn't include from factory. Lots of "if this then that" type of stuff. Edit: The pi4 bluetooth onboard doesn't talk well to my bluetooth obd2 reader...

I had to make a lot of adjustments to the video settings for the pi, but that was just the beginning. I also had to get the pi talking to my bluetooth OBD2 reader that I am using for now. That is still in progress. I did bluetooth pair my phone to it, but they didn't have any BR profiles in...

REASSEMBLY Do... the opposite of what you did to take it apart. When bringing the screen back to the dash to re-mount, be extra careful. The sharp edge of the display digging into the leather wrapped dash leaves marks... or so I been told. Stuffing wiring back in to re-seat the head unit control...

Behind all the color coded connectors there is a big honking 52pin connector that is held in with a retaining lever on the left side. unclick that lever's push lock tab and rock it from parallel to the head unit over to perpendicular. this Red part is what I call the doomed to break plastic...

When I was a kid I was promised a computer in my car, with a live display and it would be... useful. Now I have the display and it is time to get this computer jamming. the long term goal is to have a working PC in the truck that can pull telemetry data from the CAN or OBD2 and respond to...

it is your warranty counting down.

pull obd2. if there;s knock it'll show . heck it can be done in real time.

No, your truck cannot get the coronavirus as you have already had the Natty light Ice in a can virus and have trained your truck to expect pisswater as a beer substitute. Now, if you were a Guiness guy you could be in trouble. Training your truck to carry a beer that you have to chew leaves it...

Never again on FCA. I am 2/2 of awful dealership service experiences and the placeholders in FCA corp were absolutely useless to escalate or even effectively communicate anything. I have been working actively since my last visit to do everything in my power to decouple diagnostics and service on...

I have the Roll-N-Lock vinyl topped over aluminum slats. I like it. it locks, it Rolls, and it hasn't scraped on the top yet. I hope that the vinyl resists the tiny scratches better than a anodized aluminum exposed to the environment. It doesn't rattle. It is dry every time I have checked...

Cell phone mounts (various styles). This is kind of a moot point if you have the center console with the integrated cell phone holders this is the best looking and secured one I have seen yet. I am done with the idea of cell phone mounts on vents. Hitch covers The Topper King franchise in my...

Alfa has a lot of canned diagnostic routines.

A: no update ive noticed. Same old system and i have disconnected power several times this week with the full reload cycle after. B: my wife keeps asking for the 12 inch update. I keep reminding her that stock is the 5 inch unit. She then reminds me that it is actually 4. C: i couldnt let b...

Also about remote tailgate feature, i recall folks who enabled another feature having to roll back because they lost tailgate down control. That may guide you to what they turned back on to get it back.

Ive used a code to trigger remote tailgate via alfa. Thats the kind of thing i am working my project for. Addling features via if/then logic that were not present at time of sale or.. ever by original manufacture. Things like Gps , sensor data, performance telemetry logging off to gdrive...
