Upfitter Switches

[suli]

Ok, since I was impatient, i bought AlphaOBD yesterday. ha!

Went in to Alpha and Car Configuration under the BCM and set:

• CBC Features: Configuration Aux Switches PTO-SIX SWITCHES
• LIN & Misc: ASBM Present - YES
• CustSetMenu 1: Auxiliary Switches CSM Present - Switch 3-6 Option

All switches still work, but NO Aux switch options in setting on the radio. (validated each config and also restarted both the BCM and the radio)
According to the uConnect site, I have the latest version (but hard to check there only using the VIN). I'll go back and set it to 1-4 options again in the CSM option and see if they show up for only 1-4.

Anyone else run into this issue yet? I may be an odd case with a 23 BCM and a 19 Truck.

It’s your radio software if your BCM configs are set and you reboot everything 3 times. That uconnect site is no good. It always says up to date but it’s not. The way i updated was someone had posted the links to download software from google drive and i downloaded it and flashed it on my uc4. I had same issue with uc5. The menu didn’t show up until i was updated to a certain version.

Given the switches work from manual changes through programmer the bcm and switches are communicating. Its the radio thats not recognizing it.
When i had uc4 i was missing performance pages and stuff initially until i updated to version UAX PR 39.7, PR 39.9, PR 40.1

My truck is early build possibly late 2018 so it got nothing at all from all its OTA updates.

I only updated to first one because the later ones that came out used to disable features that we manually enabled as it checked with uconnect to see what configs the BCM SHOULD HAVE vs. WHAT IT HAS.

My radio is the 12 inch nav version. I do know some people with non nav radios couldn’t get them because of some radio incompatibility. If you have a nav radio you’re in luck. Check your current radio software version and see if it matches any of the ones i posted.

Yep, looks like my 8.4 NAV UC4 is at 22.32.10. WTF, that's old AS F.

You can try searching in forums for google drive links. Thats how i had found mine and got it updated. I have the files for the 3 versions i mentioned.

[mention]Jimmy07 [/mention] might have all the versions in between. From what i heard its sequential updates so we can’t jump versions.

 

[suli]

Ugh, so I need to find the 34.2 version first, then 39.7 or higher. I haven't found any good links yet, still searching for the 8.4 screen versions.

Nope, I need a whole slew of versions... I can't find anything for the 8.4 screens.

Two updates:

Found the software updates for the 8.4 UAV versions, go here for getting to version 40.1:

jscan works as well, worked with the Jscan app vendor and confirmed it worked with JSCAN, I updated the details here:

Anyone know a part number for a 5 switch control panel with “Alt Trailer Height”, Traction Control, Tow / Haul, Park Assist Off Rear, Park Assist Off Front?

The first button would actually have the text “Alt Trailer Height” and not an image of a truck with up/down arrows.

Hi,
im from Germany.

I have a 2022 Ram 3500 Limited Longhorn with factory Aux Switch Panel. Its a great solution to connect additional lights.

My second Car is a 2023 Ram 1500 Limited with Air Ride Suspension. Is it any Option to retrofit Aux Switch Panel?

I checked some threads but I have not become any smarter.

Is it possible to use the switch from the 2500 with rear air suspension 68578991AA in combination with the Aux KIT 82216449AC?

Is there any solution to install Aux Switch Panel in a 1500 with Air Suspension?

Thanks for Help.

DIY: Add Aux Switches to 19+ Ram 2500 Laramie 6.7L

There are quite a few threads about Adding Aux switches and AlfaOBD to our trucks out there. I did hours of reading them and watching numerous videos on it as well as messages back and forth to get this installed on my truck. I wanted to make a DIY for someone else that wants to do it and keep...

The question is my factory button for the air suspension have 4 steps (4x LED) and It works with up and down push.

The 68578991AA Panel looks like a 1x push button with 1 light.

This guy does....but he doesn't have the kits complete yet for the 2019's. I'm looking to add them when he does.
