All,
I got a bypass cable, the Alpha ODB, and the MX+ code reader. I read numerous posts on several RAM-focused message bases and watched several YouTube videos.
Spent a few hours learning the software. It took me about 1 hr. to get my Bypass cable installed as my hands did not fit up into the dashboard easily and the module is just at the edge of my field of vision with my glasses and poor lighting to see the fittings and get the cable plugged in. Once the cable was in place the actual process took about 15 minutes to download the original starting factory backup using Google Drive. Verify the backup was present and then a few minutes to find the proper code section to change. Once the changes were made, turned the ACC off and let the truck set for about 5 minutes, started the truck, and now my bed lights and Tailgate ajar warning all function. Anytime my bed is opened the lights turn on as designed/desired. Well worth the investment in the equipment and time to have this functionality as I use my bed frequently after dark. And for my birthday, my wife got me a bed cover it is really nice to have the lights on when I open the tailgate.
