    Tow Mirror Suggestions

    I was in the exact same situation with my previous 2019. I went with the Boost mirrors and they did fine. Only complaint I had was much over 55mph with the mirrors extended and they started to vibrate pretty bad. Heard it was an issue with some, but not all. Most recent vehicle required a...

    Backup camera connector repair.

    Assuming you're referring to the Fakra coaxial connection that goes from rear bumpernto digital rear view mirror ?

    Installed aftermarket mirrors

    Interesting. Still sounds like something went short to ground in the mirror.

    Ram 1500 trailer lights

    Yeah, wouldn't think it blew all of the trailer lighting fuses at once. Seperate the connector halves just behind the rear bumper. Check the first connection behind the trailer plug for voltage. I've had to replace quite a few of the bumper mounted connectors. Myself included on 2 different...

    Newest software version of 2022 12 inch radio?

    So, I've had the most recent update for several days now. Found one bug so far that nobody has mentioned yet... -Remote start/push button start vehicle. -Let idle for 4-5min. -Drive vehicle for 5-10 min and switch off. -Restart vehicle in less that 30 min and Uconnect will reboot...

    Installed aftermarket mirrors

    Sounds like the module does not like the new mirrors and/or they may not be wired correctly for your truck. Unplug just the mirrors from the module in the door. Verify if door switch controls return correctly. You mentioned concerns over the ambient air temperature sensor. Not sure if the...

    Newest software version of 2022 12 inch radio?

    My update for the update dropped today. Happened while I was at the grocery store. Said heck with it and let it update while I shopped. Update completed and per usual, some assorted controls were missing. Got home a few miles away and . being the opps behind the recent updated, I always...

    What are these extra tow mirror connections?

    Nope. Just had to enable them in AlfaObd.

    What are these extra tow mirror connections?

    I was able to find some TRX takeoffs. The angle is just a bit different on these. They do still point downward however. Been pretty happy so far. No whistles and no vibration. OEM# 68446975AA and 684446974AA

    What are these extra tow mirror connections?

    Didn't have to recal mine. I have a 22 limited. Went from regular loaded mirrors to loaded tow mirrors. All I had to do was enable a few options in AlfaObd and everything else was plug and play. Not sure on the connector. Blind spot alert maybe?

    standard folding mirrors vs. trailer tow package mirrors ?

    Sure thing! Install is super straight forward. Just literally plug and play. 2-3 values in AlfaObd to adjust if you have the reverse lights and you're in business. Feel free to hit me up if you run into any install issues.

    standard folding mirrors vs. trailer tow package mirrors ?

    Absolutely! The OEM ones I found also had the additional reverse light in the mirror. Controlled with cargo lamp button. Requires AlfaObd in order to enable the reverse light. Everything else will be plug and play. Even the 360 cameras. I had aftermarket tow mirrors (Boost) on my previous...

    Newest software version of 2022 12 inch radio?

    Gotcha. I had an additional page setup on main display that had navigatio and some gauge info for towing prior to this update. Those pages you posted were deff not in mine before however. It's been 2 days since I got the update so it appears those pages stuck. Freebies!

    Newest software version of 2022 12 inch radio?

    Which new towing page are you referring to Bay Area Ram? Mine had all of these less the auto start soft key before said update and it appears we have pretty much the same truck minus the color and bed length. Mine did the update as well several days ago, but I haven't had time to go fumble...

    Has anyone been told by dealer the heater core leaks on the exhaust and needs replaced Yet it doesn't fog the inside of the wind shield?

    Person that wrote the ticket likely wasn't sure how to interpret what the tech wrote in their notes and just wing'd it and hoped for the best. Or, the tech could have wrote ****ty notes and his quality of repair work could also be directly related.

    Trying to buy a Trailer Camera Wiring Prep Package by Mopar after market help.

    I'm researching the same thing. So far from what I've found, it's 2 seperate systems. You will need the single coaxial connector harness for the digitial rear view mirror camera interface (camera mounted on rear of trailer/camper). 2022 RAM 2500 3500 TRAILER TOW BACK UP CAMERA KIT GENUINE...

    Squirrely steering after alignment ?

    There is a difference, but I'm unsure as to what and I also don't have access to the spec list anymore. But, with everything I've seen when using Hunter systems, if a specific model is listed, there is a difference in spec. Otherwise, it would say something like Ram 2019-2024 1500 4x4 (All trims)
