Hey all…Let me start off by saying I love this forum. It has helped me decide on buying a Ram, as well as provide countless mods to my baby. All the effort you guys put in “figuring it all out” is well appreciated.
Now - This thread has guided me in adding everything being discussed here except ACC. (Got the parts, just waiting on some warmer weather) I consider myself pretty knowledgeable and mechanically inclined around vehicles, as well as being very comfortable working on my own. The info gained here has been great, but I do feel like their can be more effort made in making these “How to’s” a little more easier to understand.
One Mod I recently completed, yesterday as a matter of fact is semi-automatic parking. Getting the parts were pretty simple, save for two items that were backordered. The difficult part (for me at least) was figuring out where the new sensors go. As well as attaching the molex for the Passive Entry Antenna. Using a lift probably would make quick work of this mod. Being that I don’t have one I just left the truck on the floor and took all of my 210 pounds underneath it.
I’ll attach some pictures to give an idea where the new sensors should go and how to access the front sensors, as well the location of the park assist module. The molex that goes to the passive entry antenna (if applicable) is extremely difficult to get to w/o a lift. The PE antenna is held in place by two screws. I removed my back license plate and used a step-down drill bit to carefully drill two holes where the screws are located. Only then was I able to attach the only molex I had left on the new wiring harness. The wiring harness is pretty straightforward install as well. Make sure you have a tool to remove the plastic fasteners as they are a PIA to remove and just follow the path of the old harness. Removing old, and installing new as you go. The new valances are easy to remove as well. The screws in the left/right corners are the hardest to remove/install because it’s tight in there, but definitely doable. That’s all my tips and advice. I hope I added some type of worth while contribution to the make Semi-Automatic parking mod that much more easy to understand and implement.
BTW I have a 21 Laramie sport w/ front and back parksense and blind spot pedestrian monitoring from factory. Part # for the two new sensors in the front is 5YV69TZZAA and the rear sensors part # is 6MK25TZZAA.
If I didn’t list all the steps, that’s because everything is mostly covered in the thread if you read through it. Enjoy!
