This video is pretty good, but it seems like cut, heat, or bake is the norm.Yeah if anyone says bake em, I’m out. I never used to do it in the first place. I know my limits. And that is something I would completely f up.
This current problem I’m having is a complete surprise. Since nothing I did should have an effect like this. Other than the cutting, but again, I took it slow and everything looked fine.

Dude opening tail light.
So by all accounts there are essentially 6 ways you can do this mod. All have been proven to work but differ greatly in the level of effort and cost.My new 2022 RAM Laramie came without the BS system. The first two 5th generations I owned hat this and I want to have this back.
I took the time to read the whole topic and I am really confused about what I need to get from the dealer or where else. Is there anybody who has the right list with parts I have to get?
My Laramie came with full LED lights.
Hey did this number actually turn out to be the driver's side one?So it turned out to be a disaster. I’m just ordering a heat sink and extra sensor from ebay for $150. Shame that my parts guy can’t even find the left-hand heat sink since it only cost me $6.41 for the right hand one.
Edit: I may have just found the right part number. It looks like it could be 68396592AA since my paperwork shows the other numbers.

so this part i also retract... the 4 smaller T-10 torx screws actually only hold the internals to the back wall of the housing... and these aren't held together by adhesive.. as far as i can tell they are plastic welded together so baking and heat gun stuff isnt gonna get them apart w/o damaging them it looks like. and i did get a better look inside at the board along the bottom that controls the blinker portion... looks like i did hit it whilst cuttingYeah it’s def got some adhesive in there. I took out the 4 screwed and Just the internals came loose. They could be helping hold it together but I have no idea where to start with the adhesive. There’s a guy in this thread who got one apart before. I’ll edit this and tag him and see if he has any ideas.
[mention]tdb0021 [/mention] any suggestions on how to take the whole housing apart like you did? Did the light survive?

Hey i'm sorta rounding the corner on this mod... did you ever end up doing the mirror part? if so how'd it go?Mod complete and functional! BSM mirror install next weekend.
Yes, I did come to a determination. After my wholesale parts guy contacted Mopar directly, they opened a case about it. They were waiting on me to provide a picture of the tail light that shows the part number of the tail light assembly. The reason they want that is to take it to engineering and show that it does not match the part in their official parts system. Of course, I can’t do that because I’m doing a retrofit and taillight part numbers are different. I told my parts guy to forget about it and I would get a junkyard unit. All in all, the parts guy and Mopar rep confirmed that there is an error in their online parts system.Hey did this number actually turn out to be the driver's side one?
i see 592AA and 594AA but were you able to determine which was which?
crap... if you wanna reopen it for them i'm actually gonna have one with the correct part number on it on monday, i can post a pic you can use if you want. unless its already a foregone conclusion. could help someone else down the line.Yes, I did come to a determination.

I didn’t think about it until now, but I could send a pic of the junkyard unit I got.

All settings are in the Body computer and Car configuration change. The last one for the door may or may not be needed? I added the mirrors with the LED so I never tried without it. It will take awhile for the radio to pickup the changes for the menu but it will.

Yes, that’s the options in mine also. Do you see anything similar in wording to “active blindspot present” in Jscan when viewing the BCM configs?ok so i just changes my settings but using JScan for iPhone... the menus seem similar (and this may be dumbness on my part) but i assume that is because these come from the truck, not the app being used to modify settings.
I was able to find an enable the following:
Cabin Net LBSM Left Blind Spot
Cabin Net RBSM Right Blind Spot
Custsetmenu Blind Spot Alert (my menu did not say CSM on this one)
and i left the doors settign alone for now as i do not have the LED in the mirrors or another type just yet.. i intend to use the audio only for now
BUT, i cannot find anything similar to that 2nd last one pictured, "Veh Config 7 - Active Blindspot Present" in JScan...
anyone have any ideas on where i might look?
Haven't taken her out for a spin yet to see if they are working but there was one more interesting thing... i restarted the radio and went to the menu to enable the feature... and once the option finally showed up, i noticed i only have 3 settings to pick from
- Off
- Lights
-Lights and audio
There is no "audio only option" so my question to the guys already using this w/o the mirror lights, is that what you saw on your radio menu as well?
Sounds good. I just downloaded jscan. I wonder if I can view anything without making a purchase.I don’t. And I feel like I looked pretty thoroughly. I’m obviously gonna give it another look, but I’ll take it for a test ride in a few and see if it does anything, because all 3 settings I did activate responded and confirmed active afterward. Seems weird tho that I can only find 4 of 5 and would only need 3. Hahah

I was actually wondering about the BSMO setting:Nah they wouldn’t let me see the menus for what they call “adaptation” until I bought 1 vin. But it’s a one time purchase so now I have it.
And it actually did activate the license when it connected to the truck for the first time after purchasing. My vin popped up and it asked if I wanted to associate that vin with the license I bought. So that part was easy.
And update, just got back from my test drive and everything works! No codes not malfunctions (so far) but I chose “lights and audio” on my radio menu and it gives 2 distinct beeps when you activate a blinker with someone in your blind spot. Both sides worked. And I like that it’s not constant. Just 2 tones right away and that’s it. Granted that doesn’t tell you when they are gone but it makes you look. Which is the point.
Haven’t seen how the cross path detection works in this config yet but I’ll report on that when it happens.
I’m still gonna look thru all the submenus next chance I get, but the next big thing is doing the mirrors.
