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

theblet · Sep 23, 2023

If I want to only add auto high beams, what’s required for this? Do I already have the camera?

I have a 22 Level 1 Bighorn. I had to add a new rear view mirror with the camera 68312206aa. My old rear view mirror was 68453788AA (autodimming only without the camera). If you have this mirror, you’ll need the one that has the camera.

Pretty easy mod.

Yes.
VehConfig 1: Auto Highbeam- YES
2014 CBC Config I/O & Feat.: Auto High Beam Module Location- IRCM

I tried these settings in my 2021 Rebel with DASM and now I get an AEB warning - any ideas?

Are you sure you have a DASM? Do you have ACC? Or FCW?

AEB warning went away but nothing in settings to switch on auto high beam.

Does it take a little time or a few restarts?

it is lights I go to and htere should be a setting - correct?

Yes I am sure I have a DASM as I have the little notch in my windshield and FCW

I do not have the auto high beam option in lights

I assume it takes a little time?

I did activate auto high beam in alpha obd and 2014 IRCM

No offense, but you don't need to make 3 posts asking basically the same thing. You can also edit a post to add to or change it. Anyway, yes, it can take up to 6 hours for the settings to show up. Once they do, you just turn it on and keep the turn signs stalk pressed forward.

Thank you

Point taken - sorry I will do that in the future

Hopefully I will leave it long enough and it will appear in the menu

No luck with overnight Auto high beam being added to my lights section in settings.

I have uploaded a picture of my 2021 Ram Rebel Windshield which I believe shows the DASM. I did have to get my windshield replaced but it appears to be a Mopar replacement.

Any thoughts on why AlphaOBD is not programming auto high beam into the light section?

According to what I have read I should only need to change two items in AlphaOBD

Auto High Yes and 2014 I/O IRCM settings.

Am I missing something?

Did you change this setting:
CustSetMenu 1: Auto High Beam CSM Present- YES

Unfortunately I added csm setting present to yes

I will keep reading and trying

I have a 22 Bighorn and no lane assist, crash avoidance, adaptive CC or auto high beams. I have a sensor on the front window attached to my RV mirror wondering what its for.

A picture would help. But if it is the sensor on the backside of the mirror, it is for the auto dimming feature.

Great news

I now have the auto headlight option in settings under lights.

So to recap in my 2021 Ram Rebel which has DASM I needed to change three settings in AlphOBD.

If it is round, it is probably the humidity sensor for your auto climate control.

There is a thread about changing this sensor with one that allows rain sense wipers AND auto climate. While you are at it, swap out your rear view with one that has the auto high beam camera.

Rain Sensing Wipers (Not equipped but have the part)

I did the upgrade and used JScan. The menu on my 8.4 showed up immediately. Not working yet but going to let it rest over night. JScan - adaptation Radio user setting Rain sensitive wipers on/off Everything work out ok with it? Did you order part 68298334AA and did it come with the gel pack...
