It makes perfect sense now that you mention it. I didn't even think about the fact that his truck is a single cab. There's a very good chance that's what the difference is even though I don't understand why they wouldn't make the Auto Up feature an option on the single cab.

Cuz us regular cab guys have strong "window up" fingers and don't need it.... hahaha!!!

Im thinking about trying to enable SmartBeam on my truck....is there a way to know if the sensors already exist?

Truck didnt come WITH SmartBeam (of course) but does have the automatic dimming rear view. Parts list shows different parts for trucks with LMS (sales code for SmartBeam) but maybe it would still work anyway?

You will need to replace the mirror with a 17 mirror (no mics) first that has the Auto High Beam to enable it (AHBM/SmartBeam). Don't use a mirror from a 13-16 truck ( w/mics).
I'm not sure what the PN is for the 17 & 18 trucks, but contact forum vendor AllmoparParts.com (Benny) & he can likely get you the PN.
If you do let me know and I will update the mirror thread with the info.

Edit:
Looks like I have some shared info from others in post 3&4 of the mirror thread

So theres no free lunch, eh? :)

Havent contacted anyone about part numbers but based on the sales code (LMS = Auto High Beams) and parts diagrams I have (direct from Tech Authority website), there are 2 possible parts:

68295862AA (with sales code RS7)
68295863AA (without sales code RS7)

What sales code RS7 is I have no idea, I cant find it in the big PDF I have of all the sales codes.

EDIT: managed to find RS7 - "RS7 UCONNECT ACCESS ADVANTAGE RD AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEMS"

Looks like it's the xxxx5863 based on some shared info from others in post 3&4 of the mirror thread

I'm not sure why the other "17" AutoDim PN is completely different in those posts

Strange.

[GNK] is Auto dim
[LMS] is Auto high beam
[RS7] is "Connected vehicle" which seems to mean any vehicle with a cell connection

So xxxx5863 would be a non-connected vehicle with auto dim and auto high beams.

I dont think there is a 2017 mirror with mic?

I just so happen to have a Mirror from a 17 truck that has the AHBM/SmartBeam sensor and no mics that I won't be using... was going to post it on the For Sale forum, just haven't gotten around to it. Pretty sure it has the auto dim sensor as well.

Car Configuration Change towards the bottom.

I believe it’s called truck or cargo bed lighting feature?

Got my mx a few minutes ago.

Going to remove fog light dropout on high beam and switch to Laramie startup logo.

I'll mess with the led light settings too. But don't want to go crazy while I learn this new software.

The only thing it does is gives you the SRT splash screen at boot. I was hoping the same but unfortunately, no. There’s even a setting for radio apps present but that didn’t do anything for me either.

I thought on one of the apps I read that it wont enable if you have ever had UConnect Access enabled (even if just the trial). But Im not sure as Ive never tried it.

If you’re referring to the boot screen on the evic it’s in special packages I believe under car configuration change.

The one thing I noticed with this app....I cant connect to the Transmission module.

The only option I saw was 8HP45, i tried to connect but it failed (I have the 8HP70).

Anyone else?
