    HELP! Radio, cargo light, 115v troubles

    I need some advise on where to look to trouble shoot these issues. I was driving and the cluster was flashing that the cargo light is on and the 115v inverter is on, and then the display on the radio went black(sound kept playing). None of the radio controls work, volume stuck where it was...

    Trailer camera prep kit 2022+?

    Does anyone know if there is a trailer camera prep kit for the 2022+ 1500s? I found the one that goes up to 2021, but my 22 doesn’t have the plug behind the headlight switch. I’ve seen posts for the hds as well. I have the aux 1 and aux 2 on the uconnect 5 screen turned on via Alfa and hope to...

    Finally started my audio upgrade(w/pics)

    I haven’t liked the base 6 system since day 1 so I finally decided to do a little something. For the first time I decided to go with a dsp and eliminate all passive crossovers and dedicate an amp channel to each speaker. I used the pac interface along with the optical adapter to feed the alpine...

    Interior camera

    After I swapped my 8.4” for the 12.1”UC5 I have an open fakra connector on the radio module and someone told me it was for an interior camera for another vehicle that uses the same radio module. My question is, has anyone activated this either with Alfa or jscan, etc? If I use an oem camera with...

That w as enough that I felt I couldn’t trust it in my vehicle anymore and after posting about my experience with it it lead to me reading about many others...

    Strange find with Waze on 12.1”

    So my truck had the 8.4” non nav an occasionally Waze would show me off the road, but would usually correct itself. It was pretty annoying but would still get me where I was going. I ended up swapping the 8.4” for the 12.1 in with nav. While most of the glitches are better, the Waze and maps...

    POS pedal commander

    Well after all the warnings I’ve seen on here my pedal commander died on me in the worst situation. Driving on the highway in a construction zone during rush hour with no shoulder to stop on. Every light on the dash came on and I lost all throttle response. I didn’t know what was happening so I...

    Bed light harness question

    When I did my bed lights I tapped into the 2 wires at the rear of the truck rather then running all the way to the bcm. Now I was reading that some are replacing the tail light jumper harnesses with 68488851AB and 68523847AA and then plugging in the bed lights. A friend has a ram with halogen...

    8.4” non nav to 12.1” UC5

    I just finished the 8.4” to 12.1” upgrade. The directions listed on here were simple and easy to follow, but I ran into an issue I couldn’t find the answer to. I reached out to jimmy07 and he saved the day. He quickly said my lvds cable was probably the wrong one. He had me do a continuity check...

    More uconnect trouble

    So my 22 8.4” non nan got another ota update a few days ago. Ever since the CarPlay has been dropping g out. The screen for no reason returns to the Home Screen at random. You can hit the CarPlay button to get back, but pretty annoying to have to keep changing back. This happens both wired and...

    Blind spot paint

    So my truck was a night edition with halogen lights to start. I found a set of non night edition led tail lights that had blind spot for really cheap so I bought them and installed them as well as added blind spot wiring. My question is has anyone painted the center section black to match the...

    RF Hub ?

    Since it seems to be a very common problem to have the rear window leak and often soaking the rf hub making it so you can’t even start the truck, I was wondering if anyone has tried to protect the rf hub before this happens? Maybe a sealed plastic/abs box of some sort that rf signals can still...

    Crew cab 6’4” bed Motofab 3” front 2” rear

    So I searched and haven’t found any pics. Does anyone have the crew cab with the 6’4” bed using the Motofab 3” front 2” rear lift? I bought the kit because I got a great deal on it , but I’m second guessing if it’s going to be as big as I want it to. I keep seeing others with the 3.5” lifts that...

    Key fob programming

    Tonight my new key fob programmer came in. I successfully programmed a new fob(now with tailgate open function)for my 22 5th gen that didn’t have that function before. The new programmer will do most makes and models and should pay for itself after a couple uses.

    Led taillight swap

    I’ve searched and I don’t see exactly what I’m looking for. I swapped my halogen taillights for leds with blind spot. I removed the wire in pin 8 on the drivers side. I can’t get the stop light to drop out with the turn signals . I tried the setting in Alfa and it shows it took but it’s not...
