Finally ordered mine yesterday. Now just have to wait for it to get here. Already planning on using it to automate the folding mirrors and allow NAV updates while moving.

Mine has been in for a week or so

Nav motion - haven’t had to use it yet but that’s good to have (for the passenger of course

Seat belt ding - off finally! The way the parking garage is at work, I have to make a wide turn in and left, and I can’t get close enough to the card reader most of the time, so I have to open door and stretch out. Of course I don’t put belt back on and would have to listen to that ding for 2 floors (1st world problems)

Nothing else yet

The seat belt chime is actually very easy to turn off without the tazer. Its an old hack that worked on the DS Rams too. I believe all you have to do is buckle seat belt with the truck off, turn the truck into “Run” mode, and buckle the seat belt 3 times with it resting unbuckled and turn the truck off.

Yeah I disabled my seat belt chime a month or two after getting the truck. My main need for the Tazer was to change my tire size and disable the fog light drop out with high beams.

Same, i also like being able to darken the truck and have my passengers be able to use the nav. I actually prefer using the ram nav over my phone, and it works pretty well.

I’m going to start using the ram nav too. I did unlock that Nav in motion feature.

Send & Go is awesome. Look something up on phone, send, and it’s waiting in truck!

I haven't tried Send and Go, but today I was able to get Alexa to send an address to the truck so it was waiting on the Uconnect, and start the truck up 5 minutes before I headed to lunch. My co-workers were suitably impressed. Ha! :ROFLMAO: Although the remote start feature is pretty cool, all I did was worry that someone was going to steal my truck. Cant see myself using that feature too often.

They wouldn't be able to steal it from remote starting. Won't go into gear until key fob is within range and you push brake and hit start button.

Yeah, I forgot about the "push start button" part so when I got into the truck the shifter knob wouldn't work. Took me a second to remember that I had to push the start button to actually move the truck. Even knowing that the truck won't move without the fob won't stop me from worrying about it being stolen. The remote start is a cool feature but I just don't see myself using it that much.

Anyone have any trouble with getting the front camera to work? Also, my unit seems to say updating a bit while selecting through menus. I’ve done the full reboot, dash does not stay on. Firmware is on .0.5.
Should be able to enable, couple key cycles and Bob’s your uncle! But.... Bob never showed up yet.
Anyone?
Also, big notice of interference with LED lights trying to run light show. Tho, it’s bad ***... Light show you have to be on top of the truck, as well window roll down.
So, I’ll be looking into fixing these issues.
Really need to find the keyless entry antennas, and key fob. This way I can start to work on a fix this week

I want to order, what code are you taking about?
Ellisstrong contacted Z Automotive and arranged for a group buy using the code TZDT50, but anyone participating in the buy had to send an email to the Z Automotive point of contact and she enable the discount code for each person's email address. You could try going to the website and checking if the code will still work, but it supposedly was turned off after September 26th.
