    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    O Will give that a try tonight, thank you. after I add TL in the BCM it should show up as a soft button no matter what, right? Even if I’m not subscribed or the service isn’t available/there was a problem on Sirius’ end? Interesting in that all of my other updates took effect immediately...

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    So I enabled TravelLink and subscribed via Sirius, but after leaving overnight I did not get a soft button in my dash? checked with Alfa and it seems like the change was made in the BCM - anything I missed?

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    Okay, thank you for the explanation, makes more sense. I will add the travel link with the instructions previous page, figure out what Sirius needs from me to activate the subscription, and should then be good to go. Thanks again!

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    You just connect two of these to the two additional, unused ports on the back of the module where there are 4 similar sized connections in a row? Where did you end up mounting them? (Picture added below) afterwards you only have to enable travel link or is the traffic alert a separate...

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    People that have travel link working have you used the mopar parts on the previous page or did you use something else? Can we confirm that those are the correct parts?

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    Alternatively I use the Windows version and a WiFi reader and have zero issues - either should work fine and if you dig around you can find instructions for both/figure it out. I didn’t have an android device and figured I could make it work/didn’t feel like spending any extra money. To be...

    Make LED DRLs brighter

    Yep, love the lights in the dark and the output is great but wish the ‘accent lights’ were true DRLs - not sure why they went that route - the Chargers and Durango’s have some of the best DRLs of any car IMO. My solution for aesthetic purposes was to use Alfa to make my turn signals DRLs...

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    Also have to subscribe to something through Sirius/have the at&t service to make it work? I should just leave well enough alone....but so easy to add a couple more things....

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    Did mine this weekend too, working well so far. To make Travellink and traffic work you need the wireless antennas correct?

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    This post helps a ton - some specific details the instructions don’t contain that will be worth reviewing. Another point - really look at how the wiring is routed for the harness that runs to the handle. You can see where it goes in the pictures at the beginning, worth it to know inside and out...

    After market LED headlights

    In the exact same boat as above. Had the AlphaRex lights in my truck for almost a year, never happy with how they matched or the light output. Went the OEM route, not even close, definitely happy with the decision. I did not have the expensive full LED AlphaRex lights (cost closer to OEM) so...

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    I just ordered from Tasca. They have not shipped the order yet, but the only part they told me the couldn’t get/back ordered was the LVDS cable (Ram specific one) - so I just ordered a different one that has been confirmed to fit. One note is they are apparently very busy and short staffed...

    Yes, going to be switching from the non-nav.

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    Parts are ordered and en route. Couple mounting questions? for the M5 bolts to hold screen to bezel - does it matter what head the screw has for fitment/mounting? Second for the module mounting what do you guys use? Zip ties work okay or is there something I can grab from Home Depot to make...

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    Anyone done this and had major issues or not get it working well eventually? I’m not averse to a little risk but also don’t want to have some catastrophe. Also don’t want to have a bunch of buggy issues and no dealer to take the truck to and troubleshoot/get updates. We still get updates?

    Rain Sensing Wipers (Not equipped but have the part)

    Yes appears to be on via radio. Only hiccup with the install I believe may be the gel in place getting damaged slightly. From what I can tell that’s the only thing that I see as not working properly. Will see about the new parking brake light being on, have an oil change coming up and will have...

    Rain Sensing Wipers (Not equipped but have the part)

    Installed the sensor today and used Alfa to add the setting. It showed up but the wipers don’t seem to be working with a squirt bottle. Also had the yellow P with an exclamation point pop on dash - this seems to be related to parking break per owners manual. Any ideas?

    AlfaOBD

    Looking to swap out halogens for factory LEDs on my Big Horn using the retro shop harness. Wondering I’ll be able to play with the DRL/lights to reconfigure accent lights, etc or if Alpha won’t be able to do this because of the harness?

    Hard Folding Tonneau and Hail/Snow

    I like my Xceed a lot, too. Would say that when buying a Bakflip product don’t expect the fit and finish to be what you’d expect from a 700-1000$ product - functions/looks good but overpriced. I too think that ultimately having full access was important to me and even the few times I’ve used it...

    OEM LED fog lights

    Looking at upgrading fogs on my Big Horn, my question for those who have done it, the kit you can buy from Mopar or other wholesalers (82215273AC) says it comes with bezel and mounting hardware, does this mean it comes with everything in the picture below that infotainment provides? Any issues...
