When you hit the soft key twice, does the temp get warm, or is it off altogether? With Level 2 setting, it should get comfortably warm on a two-press. I never tried 2, just went to 3 and as the video shows, works well.

I am pretty sure it goes off. Hard to say for sure though - the icon shows off and the squiggly lines are not lit either.

So I got the off-road pages and performance pages on my screen following the alpha obd steps. Only issue, I have 2 off-road pages and the performance pages. Anyone else have this duplicate pages show up?

Yes, everyone who has done it has two off-road pages. One actually shows the driveline image, one doesn't.

Does anyone know if I need to use AlfaOBD to enable the running board touch screen option if I buy Mopar branded power steps?

I see 2 settings I think you would need to change, if anyone can confirm, I'll add it to page 1 post 1.
Cust.Set.Menu 3: Power Side Step Enable/Disable CSM Present - Yes
Cabin Net: PSSM Power Side Step Module - Enable

Found this posted in the main Alfa thread. Will add it to the front page.
In case anyone wants to add the factory powered side steps and does not want to pay the dealer for the added sales code here is what I changed in AlfaOBD. Took about 24 hours for the soft key on the 12" screen to show up and the settings option. Also when you deploy or retract the steps a little notification pops up on the gauge cluster.
I've attached photos of the 3 areas that were enabled. Cabin Net-PSSM Power Side Step Module; Cust.Set.Menu 3-Power Side Step Enable/Disable CSM Present; Cust.Set.Menu 2- Automatic Side Step CSM Present.

On these multiple step changes, do we need to wait 5 minutes between each step?
Don't have truck yet, but gathering knowledge :)

I had my dealer install the mopar power steps when I got my truck but they said it was not possible to enable them in uconnect, said only the factory can do it. Even showed them in the install guide where it explains what they need to do. I think it was more ‘won’t’ do it and not ‘can’t’. I used alfaobd as above a few months back and it works great.

What I usually do is make a change, then go through the procedure again to make sure it took place, when you do something, it will tell you what the setting is afterward on the top screen, once it says it took, I will disconnect and reconnect and make another change and repeat. I haven't had anything not take nor have had any problems with this procedure process so I will continue it. Is it needed? No idea, but it works for me, so...

Anybody know if it's possible to keep Signature Lighting when not in gear, but have it go off and use Turn Signal as DRL?
