I just got done installing an auto dimming rearview mirror (can't believe my Bighorn truck didn't come with one). Shhh...my truck is sleeping right now...

I changed the following:

Interior EC Mirror Present--Yes

Program Customer Features,
EC Mirror Auto Dim--Enabled

Anything else I need to set? I couldn't find a CSM for EC Mirror, which I figured it needed to add the soft key to the radio.

I took the cheaper route and did always dimming rear view mirror and put 5% tint on top of the factory tint.

Apparently my truck has a weird combination of options. Heck, even my Tradesman had auto-dim!

Usually when the ambient temp sensor is defective it defaults to negative 40゚ the first thing I would recommend doing his disconnect the battery cables and touch them together wait for around 20 minutes in reconnect them it may reset for you.

I'd clear the code and try a reset/replace on the rf hub

Thanks 1500! I cleared code already and now Im having issues with my multi switch not working. Parksense works fine while parking still but have no button control to turn em on or off as well as traction and tow haul. Like no power to switchs so must be a ground issue!?? After clearing code 2-3 weeks ago the switchs slowly started to stop working intermittently but now not at all

The three functions I wanted to change/add using AlfaODB were successfully executed today.

1. Added the flip up mirror position correction (for tow mirrors I installed).
2. Changed TPMS thresholds to 50 PSI for fronts/rears
3. Activated DRLs (via LED turn signals.

However, even though the DLRs are working, I don't see the option to turn them "off and on" in the 8.4" settings screen. I made changes as described in post 150. Do I have to wait a few ignition cycles for it to appear. Or do I have to reset the radio to factory settings? I did turn on and off the truck about 8 times in a period of 20 minutes or so. Confused...

Some people has said it's taken a day for it to show up. Did you go into program customer features and turn it on

Has anyone been able to confirm what’s needed for the tilt in reverse to work?

Yes, I did. I'll wait till tomorrow and recheck the radio menu and the AlfaOBD settings. There are so many options to filter through in the "car configuration change" menu. Pretty sure I updated the right ones.

In doors section
Drivers side mirror memory (Yes)
Passenger side mirror memory (Yes)
Tilt in reverse in the custset menu.
(CSM) (Yes)
One thing to note is the (Tilt In Reverse) function will not work unless you have memory mirrors. You need to have more than 4 wires in the white mirror plug.

Did it a few months ago. Picked up a set of OEM chrome cap tow mirrors. I'll have to check what exactly I enabled but I think it was only memory door modules and the feature itself. I also got the memory seat module to work. Setting 1 is with my mirrors down, 2 is when they are flipped out
