Interesting. The menu items have changed with the PX6 and accompanying MCU. I'll take some pictures and post them. Under settings I have a sub-menu called 'User Settings'. I don't have an advanced menu, but it looks like this correlates to the 'user settings' menu

Radio selection.

I am guessing this is another area where the steering wheel buttons can be assigned..

You have some pretty cool new options in there for the front and side cameras.

The front camera I am planning to add at some point where I can play around with that. But for now I just like to get the fan control and the audio resolved. The rest is pretty much working already and the next step would be a 3rd party car launcher app.

Yours will be much more useful because it will activate automatically if those settings actually work. Same for turn signal camera...

Just a stupid question. Could it be that the missing cable has other effects? For example, my parking sensors also don't show up. I hear the warning sound when I get closer to an obstacle but I no longer get the distance indication. I also don't see any additional settings in the console app. When I select it I get only one page and it's mostly for off delay timers.
Lastly under the hidden menu where the UI No and UI Style is displayed the BT Module is set to none. Is this correct? I have seen other posts with screenshots showing WQ BC6.

BT module should be something, but it's main board specific and your the only one I know with a PX6.

If you can connect your phone to Bluetooth (and it works for phone and media) you're good.

If I'm not mistaken the Alpine system gets audio over the CANBUS. It could be that you need a different adapter but I think it's already communicating so it's not that...

BT works, just odd it's not listed.

Not sure about the alpine system, I only have tow front speakers and the woofer working.

With all the testing I ran the battery down so much I can't even start the truck. It's time for a break. I'll engage with PA on Monday and hopefully end up with someone knowledgeable on the new PX6 models.

All, thank you so much for your help. I do appreciate it.

FYI...It appears that older versions of the radio are confirmed to work with the Alpine setup. I searched the thread and found a couple.

LOL. I feel like I got a blindfold on and bumping into walls or I took the training wheels off my bike too early. Hehe.

Anyway, thank you all and we will continue this Monday when I can get someone from Phoenix on the horn.

I ended up making a list of all the things that don't work and reopened the ticket that Dylan so kindly closed.

The OEM stereo is back in for now.

Things to address:
1. FAN harness/cable needed
2. Determine cause of Alpine speaker system not functioning correctly - only front speakers work and the sub. When fader is moved to front, front speakers go mute. No discernible audio from rear at all.
3. Suspension controls are in the software but items do not do anything. EX: Jack mode is suppose to temporarily disable the suspension so that the vehicle can be jacked up without the suspension trying to compensate. When I activate this item nothing happens. On the OEM the EVIC shows a message that the suspension is disabled. The transport mode is suppose to lower the truck to the lowest setting so that it can be tied down on a flat bed truck. Again nothing happens and this setting actually reverts when ON is selected immediately back to OFF. Again on the OEM this works and the EVIC shows that the truck is lowered to the Entry/Exit mode.
4. The break controller is not listed in the available settings at all.
5. None of the steering wheel reassignments work. The steering wheel buttons I have all are assigned to the OEM functions, however neither the 'Wheel setting' nor the 'Touch Key' menus allow me to redesignate functions to my liking - may be user error. I select the function on the software first and then attempt to long press the physical button I like to assign - nothing happens.

The park sensor thing was my bad. My recollection was that the park sensor distance was shown under the backup camera, but is actually an EVIC display. I checked this and it's working fine with the PX6.

Wish me luck with these guys tomorrow. I'll go the direct route first of attempting a phone call, but if that doesn't help I will post on FB next.

PS: Their demo video stated that this new unit is BT5 which allows multiple devices to be connected, but given that this is an appliance as SitKneelBend already stated, I am not sure if we ever could utilize it to add a BT OBDII. One thing that I will try is my theory that maybe a powered USB hub and a dedicated USB BT adapter might give that possibility.

Good luck! This is the one time I'm glad I have the stripped down version of the Ram. Mine is pretty plug and play but that is because I have no features. Lol

Hopefully our woes will help to clean this new version up and let others enjoy it with fewer headaches.
