TRX Shifter swap

[Salvadroid]

you need to read codes with jscan or alfaobd, all modules to see what isn't happy.
you can't go by the warning lights on the dashboard to tell you what is incorrect.
did you change "shifter type" in the BCM vehicle settings?

Hmm. I bought Alfa OBD. I am going to try this again. The only question I have is, would the fact that it is a TRX Shifter be an issue? Since the TRX has a different transmission?

I am going to try this again on Sunday. Since this will make or break whether I keep the truck, or trade it in for a newer Sport GT. I will take photos so you can tell me where I went wrong.
Thanks.

shifter should work, you just have to configure the BCM correctly.
and this is where you really need a factory truck config to copy the settings from. you can try to guess at them and you might get lucky, but its tricky.
assuming its wired correctly you for sure need to configure the "SHIFTER TYPE" in the BCM.
then start reading codes, and see what kind of errors are reported, and then you can start chasing them down one by one until you get a "green light"


TRX / console shifters have been done, it will work.
So have TRX paddles/steering wheels.
