Great looking truck and welcome!

Any chance you are willing to use the dealer menu on the radio to tell us the part number and software version of that 2017 RA4 vp4-NA radio (with nav) for my RA4 FW Info thread? (Screenshot works).

With the dual zone, it will just use both buttons on the driver side + Front defrost...

* Dealer Mode (Use this to identify your Radio's P/N and S/N !)
.. Hold Hot+Cold+Front defrost buttons for 5 seconds

Where did you get the towing mirrors?

The tow mirrors came on my truck from from the factory. You can rotate these to either be the up/down type (vertical like they are now) or horizontal / side to side. I prefer them vertical.

Don't mind at all. I'll give it a shot in about 20 minutes when I head out.

Dealer mode huh? Anything else that's accessible in that mode? Turn my DRLs on? :) I'm having that done this Friday and the dealer is charging my an hours labor. 129 bucks.

Thanks! Man, the Army presence is strong here. My first taste of the
Army was Basic Airborne School in Fort Benning, GA in 1998. Didn't know what "Hooah" meant when I got there and still didn't when I left. Got to know the term "Front leaning rest" quite a bit :)

I'm originally from Tennessee as well. I left for the Navy in 1993 out of Knoxville.

Link to where you purchased the lights ? And did it com with mounting hardware or did you fab something. I'm wanting to add some lights for trails but I DONT want to replace my bumper and I DONT want a roof light.

Here's a pic of the hood mounts. No drilling. Slides right in when you loosen the hood bracket bolts. My other link didn't work:

Oh, and the extra monitor in the dash is an iPad Mini. If you Sync it up with Bluetooth it feels factory. With the iPad you get Google Maps, Youtube, Spotify, etc..... Makes road trips better.

Thanks for the Ra4 part number.
If you get the chance, what is the map database filename/date in there? I'm curious if there is a new one floating around.

PS: from a former AT1(AW), I'm glad to see someone promoting military service with such a well done ride. You aren't up for a recruiting detail are you?
