Performance Pages on 2022 Limited 12 inch UC5

[Darksteel165]

Hey! Trying to do the same on my longhorn 2022, how is this went for you ?ù Any advice, tips would be appreciated.
I have a very basic knowledge in this matter but I'm familiar with following n reading blueprints etc

Removing the TBM box\connected services so you can keep the performance pages?

Only part you need to buy is Amazon.com
There are some manual I can re-link but basically you take the radio out which is 2 screws up top and pull, then in front of the passenger seat you have 2 trim pieces lower then upper glovebox (not completely in that order) to remove.
It's all screws except for the small triangle shaped trim piece.

I can list the 2-3 documents I referred to but it was not as bad as I thought it would be.
Only pain is getting the screws removed from the TBM box itself, I ended up putting a small bit into a thin ratchet and scratching the hell out of my hands.
Also 2 screws that go up from under the glovebox that secures the top is kind of awkard.

It just dawned on my why several people were getting error(s)/alarm(s) when they did the SRT AlfOBD command...I did not get the error/alarm because my truck is a rear wheel drive...not a 4x4. The SRT is a rear wheel drive vehicle only. Five months since removing the telematics module and I still have all of the frowned upon apps.

Do you know if there’s a way to stop connected services and keep Sirius XM?

I don't use Sirius.
Ill try it in my truck and let you know if it works.

That Amazon cable you posted, is that needed? Or can I simply unplug the box? I’ve read around on all the forums and honestly I don’t know what to do.

That’s what the Amazon cable is for- so you can still have Sirius XM and gps for factory maps and compass.

But does it make it so Ram can’t communicate with the truck to disable performance pages and other apps?

That’s the entire purpose of this whole thread- removing the telematics box (which is the communication item), and reconnecting the radio module to the Sirius XM antenna that was previously routed through the telematics box.
Sirius XM doesn’t have anything to do with performance pages or communication with Ram.
So, you remove the box, use the Amazon cable to reconnect the antenna directly to the radio, and you get performance pages while keeping Sirius XM.

Pink and magenta are cell/LTE antennas. Blue is SDARS antenna (SXM/GPS). Brown links the telematics box to the radio. Plug the brown into blue via Amazon cable, stuff all other cables out of the way, use alfaobd to disable all ecuconfig 18 settings, and you’re all set.

This is just above the lower glovebox in my 22 TRX, is this something people are disconnecting also? Online it says it’s a wifi antenna.

No. leave that plugged in.

With the telematics box removed location and altitude at the bottom of the off-road pages doesn’t work. Is there a way to remove the cell service from the box so that it can stay connected in the vehicle, minus the antennas?

Works fine for me. Does your GPS not work?

It’s probably my fault
I turned off everything (including connected services present, ignore the setting in this pic) under ECU Config 18:
Are there any other settings other than GPS that I should turn back on?

I don't see a pic, what truck is this in?
You were saying you have a 2018 Radio, so classic? Or the 2022 TRX?

Does your normal GPS work for navigation?

 

[Darksteel165]

Strange, the pic didn’t upload for some reason, hopefully it comes through now. GPS does not work at all in either the Nav or the off road page. Again, I think I need to turn GPS back on, just wondering if I need to turn any others on? This is in my 22 TRX

I mean if you are just removing the TBM box you don't "need" to change anything in Alfaobd.
Turning off the TBM second gen is fine.

GPS Present should be yes not no, that could be it.

You connected the GPS directly into your radio right? With the female cable?

Did you connect the brown and blue connectors from the telematics box together.
Once the telematics box is removed from the vehicle, all of the ECUConfig 18 settings get set to no, and become irrelevant.

 

[Jimmy07]

I’m removing the radio from my 2018 tomorrow, can you tell me what to reconnect on it?

2018 radio has cell card inside the radio, no separate telematics box

I can't comment on them being irrelevant, but it doesn't set all of them to no.

This is my before


This is after
