I reached out the alphaobd and and will see if he is able to find a solution - but I think it is safe to say that it is no longer possible to fully activate your brake controller DIY... before people spend a bunch of money on software and security modules - I would wait for an update. I will...

it will not let me connect to anything else - as soon as it establishes a connection, it bounces to Var 3

@Apexbasher - I choose My2019 Powernet and it jumps to var 3 when I connect. I haven’t tried selecting My2016-17. I can try that this evening - I would need to decide if I want go back to Var 3 and turn everything back off before I go into the 2016-17 and turn it back on... hmm i did send...

and you have a 2019 new body style?

I did, it automatically jumps to Var 3

Well, that is pretty frustrating. I know the brake controller works - I used it to pull the trailer a few weeks ago and it interacts well with the unit. The naming and configuration of the trailer information shows up on the 8.4 display just fine - so my programming is working as expected...

my wife is using the laptop at the moment- when she is done, I will run out and start over - and report back. those are the settings I did change.

thanks - I will review each of the settings. Does anyone know the specific alpahobd setting that is enabling this?

@brotharon - I assume your center gauge trailer information popped up because you actually had a trailer connected? :) I finished the setup steps in alphaobd and the only new management screens I see are the “Trailer Brake“ in the settings menu. just wondering if we should see anything else...

Looking at the documentation- it appears to only enable the cargo camera input that can be used for a front camera. Intriguing - I would love to know what the input connection is anyone that has set one up. I would really love the front camera to come on automatically under 5mph

I was looking at the Tazer DT and it suggests that it has the ability to "Enable Cargo/front/undercarriage Camera input" I haven't seen anyone discuss adding any cameras using this mod - no instructions, tutorials, discussions.... It seems odd that there hasn't been anyone exploring these...

I update on this post?

I was pulling my 16 foot trailer for the first time and when I started off the truck showed me a 30 foot trailer icon. On the way back it changed to a 20 foot trailer icon. how does the truck determine the size of the trailer? And should I be concerned that it got it wrong? note: i...

Lol - well, mark one in the book for me being an idiot! thanks guys...

Got into my Laramie this morning and the truck had sat out so the windows and mirrors were fogged / icy. I hit the front defrost and the mirrors never did clear up between my house and work. I find it hard to believe there is a separate switch for the mirrors - but I looked and never saw...

So it seems like we are getting closer... Not excited that the camera will be labeled “cargo”, but ready to pick up the OEM camera once we have an installation write up.

Following - if you guys figure out the front camera option, I will jump all over it!

Give your local Caliber Collision a call and ask who they contract wheel refurbishing out too. they will have a local company and will be more than happy to give you the contact information. Fixing road rash happens on almost every car that comes through their doors - so you will find it to be...

Similar experience when you try to connect an iPhone using an aftermarket cable. Seems like it has a minimum data connection standard - and if it doesn’t get their it fails by default. Good connection or no connection...

That is what I would expect. I will check my light settings.
