Is it possible to add Blind Spot?

** after multiple failed attempts, I got the bsm working with my ram 1500** (still have a slight issue)

Thank you to everyone who helped the community and me figure out how to add this feature by the way!

Almost all is good with my install with the exception of no sound when switching lanes and vehicle is in sight of another vehicle with the bsm mirror indicator on. Checked my radio settings and displays lights and sound but not getting sounds. Anything in alfaobd that can fix this?

Hi everyone, I have a new to me 2024 RAM 1500 Rebel Crew truck that came with the big tow mirrors with power, heat, turn signal, puddle, but they are manual fold. I am switching them to the sport model mirrors with (supposedly power folding), heat, turn signal puddle, and blind spot.

Here is what I bought to replace the manual fold tow mirrors with power folding sport mirrors:

Left mirror - 68610315AA which is supposedly power folding, heated, turn signal, puddle, memory.
Right, mirror - 68610314AA which is supposedly power folding, heated, turn signal, puddle, memory.
Drivers door window switch with power fold button - 68590582AA
Drivers door module - 68517697AB
Passenger door module - 68517696AB

I also bought Bluetooth OBD Link MX+ with bypass cable and used Jscan to inable the powered mirror activate functions. The new mirrors and door switch are installed, and the door modules were already installed in the truck from the factory. I have installed the mirrors and door switch, the mirrors appear to be working like they should, but I cannot get the power folding sport mirrors to power fold?

As best I cannot tell, these are both power folding mirrors, the door modules support power folding, and the door switch is supposed to be the right one for my truck. All the parts are new oem parts. Could maybe someone with better knowledge, or resources than me, please check my numbers and confirm I have the right parts? Is there something I am missing, or not thought of? Any help is very much appreciated.
 
Got around to putting the AE module in and still getting the same “blind spot alert unavailable. See dealer” error code. Turns out the one of two AE modules I bought wasn’t the same as the listed part number and it was an AC. Looking for another AE in the meantime.

I tried to activate just the left sensor to see if it would work with the AE module and it came up with the same error.

Do both modules need to be activated and be the same in order to have this work? I’m getting to be at the end of my rope here trying to get this to work.

I'm pretty sure both modules need to be activated to work. I saw a video a while back on YouTube of someone diagnosing the error you mentioned and they had one good one and one bad sensor and they had the error. I will say that I just completed my install a few days ago after trying to get this mod a few times unsuccessfully. I was getting the same error you got but my problem was that the harness I made was made incorrectly. After I traced the wires back saw that I had to swap the cables on my harness in my orientation on the white box under the dash from the top to the bottom and it resolved my issue. Keep in mind that this mod will not take until some time passed probably about an hour with the fob away from the vehicle. At first I felt lost and was ready to give up after I fixed the wires and I went to eat dinner. Came back to the truck to go to the store and it started working.. Only thing I have an issue is I can't get the sound beep working but lights on the mirrors are working.

Appreciate the input and glad you got it working after all! Hopefully I’ll have the same results after I find another module.
