Beginning (I think) in 09, Ram discontinued use of the TIPM, moving to a much more advanced architecture that uses about 25 modules throughout the vehicle communicating over CAN and LIN buses. Currently, 4 digit sales codes represent options and, frequently software packages that are stored in the Body Control Module and other modules. There are about 9 different sales codes associated with different features on the mirrors that I purchased for my truck.Do you know the 3-letter “option” code used by obdgenie? I’ve used autoenginuity to add/remove options in the TIPM on my old ram truck, but the 3-letter codes aren’t always intuitive. Sometimes they are like ABS or TPMS but sometimes the code doesn’t exactly give away what it represents.
I have towing mirrors that I put on my 4th gen with power fold. Looking at buying a 5th gen. If I buy a truck without the "towing package" that has the regular power folding mirrors, can I swap the tow mirrors from my 4th gen to the new 5th gen. I'm assuming it would.

OK ..... first post, and I'm going to vent some. Bought a limited w/trailer mirrors. Drove the truck, loved it. Asked many questions, thought I went over everything, on the way home started looking for the "power fold button" . Actually called the salesman on the way home, was told "no power folding mirror, no 360 camera" w/the trailer mirrors. I'm WTF? We talked about this, he said it was available, just didn't fess up that it wasn't on this truck. (not pleased w/Safford Springfield VA). I'm disappointed. Coming out of a '11 Platinum F150 - looked at all the Ford products before buying this one - yea all the ford mirrors fold on the upper end trucks.
This brand new truck now sits in my driveway because I can't get it in the 8' wide garage doors.
FN pissed about this. Infotainment has a solution for $1500 - probably where I will land. Wish I could add the front camera and the 360 view w/the infotainment upgrade - asked them about it .... they are considering it.
Like (not love) truck otherwise - Stereo seems not to be as strong as it should be - found the TSB on this site today - thanks.
Mileage does not seem to be anywhere near the 22 mpg claim. Have 1k miles now on truck - averaging about 17mpg according to the computer. Maybe it will improve some? Hope so.
How do I know when the defrost is on for the side mirror?
Also off topic question, I have a rear view camera with the 12.1 screen. Is it possible for them to just add a front camera that will show on the screen? No surround view though.

Nope just defrost and power fold.Just being nosy, but does the 4th gen mirrors have heat and blind spot?
Can you replace the 2019 Tow mirror with a standard 2018 mirror? I don’t have heat or any sensors.
Thanks!!!It was posted elsewhere that the mounting is entirely different.
Tried this swap from my 4th gen. The tow mirrors from the 4th gen will not work. Completely different mounting set up.Can you replace the 2019 Tow mirror with a standard 2018 mirror? I don’t have heat or any sensors.

Yes I did this swap it bolts on without an issue. Your existing puddle light and turn signals will work correctly.
The problem is that FCA won't allow the dealer to add additional sales codes like for Heated Mirrors unless it's part of an existing accessory kit..
So no heated mirror for you.....or me unless you buck up for an ODB Genie.
Can you send a pic and part number? I would be interested in putting the 2018 mirror on but I'd need to keep the puddle light and blind spot indicator.
