    How to: Add Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane assist, FCW & Auto Hi-beam to Ram 1500

    Congrats man! Let me know if you like it, I'm tempted on doing this as my next project. On the subject of trolls, I agree it's kind of funny how some people lecture you for asking a simple question and would prefer you instead pore through a 60 page thread filled with outdated and inconsistent...

    Screen picture of 8.4 with 360 surround

    I did this and the digital rearview mirror mods as the same time and it took me about 2 weeks to do it. This was my first-ever car mod project so it probably took me longer than it would have others, and much of the time spent was actually figuring out how to properly remove the door panels...

    HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

    Should not require recalibration as the calibration is tied to the CVPM. This assumes you're doing a like for like replacement (i.e., non-tow mirrors with non-tow mirrors, etc.)

    HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

    I also just finished the installation thanks to a last-minute assist from @Jimmy07 Agreed with @knightro84 , to calibrate the front camera you need to drive really, really slowly for it to take. Also I'm pretty sure the environment matters since I failed to calibrate any of the cameras at night...

    HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

    I think it's this one 68341471aa, though you can confirm with @bskubon since he mentioned ordering one for his Limited.

    HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

    That would be very helpful! I think letting folks know about how much nuance is involved is very important, such as the different ways to install the cameras (buy new, repurpose used ones, importance of the mounting bracket), differences between trailer and standard mirrors, grill...

    HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

    I, along with others I'm sure, would be willing to throw some money to whoever might be willing to consolidate all the wonderful info in this massive thread into an easy-to-follow guide with relevant sections for model years, complete with part numbers, video linkouts and general pointers. Any...

    Was quoted $189.95 to update my Uconnect 5 Non-Nav system and Ram Cares is completely useless

    Seriously. What ticks me off even more is that the guy who gave me the software on Reddit said that Ram Cares has even told him and several others to stop sharing the firmware...like wtf is wrong with them?

    Was quoted $189.95 to update my Uconnect 5 Non-Nav system and Ram Cares is completely useless

    Update: I was able to update to the latest software thanks to someone who had the update file on Reddit. This updated it to the latest version which I believe is 160. For those who want to update theirs I'd recommend getting in touch with [redacted] over there Mod: [PM truckman for contact info]

    Was quoted $189.95 to update my Uconnect 5 Non-Nav system and Ram Cares is completely useless

    No reason given other that they couldn't do it. It's mind-bogglingly stupid that they've literally built a workaround for customers who are willing to self-install these updates but won't actually provide them a way to do so. I think I might just rip that whole thing out and replace with a 3rd...

    Was quoted $189.95 to update my Uconnect 5 Non-Nav system and Ram Cares is completely useless

    I'm pretty frustrated by my recent experience in trying to update the software on my Uconnect 5 Non-Nav system. The reason I want to update the software is because all of my presets disappear each ignition cycle. After calling Ram Cares, they let me know that I'm unable to use the USB firmware...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Ah yeah that's right, since I'm getting it shipped it felt like "ordering" something but this makes sense since factory ordering is very different from a dealership purchase.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Just ordered a brand new 2022 4x2 Laramie from MD for $49,604 (19% off MSRP) which is pretty decent considering most 2023 basic big horns in my area are going for +$55K
