Thanks, im excited to set that up now.

I see everyone saying global down doesn't work. If it did, what would the fob sequence be to use that? Or is that the missing link to getting it to work possibly.

Global down does work, it is global up that does not. It is located in doors at the top. Hit unlock once then hit unlock again but press and hold.

I'm a putz with typing. I meant to say global up in my question.
If global up were to work, do we know what that sequence would be?
Hit lock, then hit lock and hold?

I tried a bunch of different configurations with the lock button but nothing worked. I would assume it would’ve been a lock then press and hold.

It's a 2016. There is a Tilt in reverse CSM and also the driver and passenger memory mirror present settings in the door category.

Just finished reading some more posts on the "tilt mirror on reverse", so I can't do it without memory mirrors? correct

This is correct. They’ll be chrome capped with more than 4 wires connecting to the white plug.

Theres 100's of members here with the OEM Projector headlights that have activated the amber DRL leds with no issues whatsoever, what evidence do you have to support this claim?

When I turned my drls on the first way my amber light would come on for drls, so I got a hole of Jeremy at retro shop who builds these lights and asked him if he ever had this issue with trucks that had the dealer turn on drls to which he said no. He also told me there is a dedicated wire for drls. So I switched everything around and they started to work like they should which lead me to believe I have it setup like the dealer would set it up. The problem I was having was when drls set to front turn signal it using the turn signal as the drls, and as far as switch back board is concerned those amber lights weren't meant to be on all the time. Drls because they are constantly on I assume shouldn't have as much voltage sent to them. The switch back controller on diode dynamic boards will regulate the voltage down for drls but not the blinkers.
Try not to get upset with me I am merely trying to be helpful on a forum that I found super helpful

Do you have any pictures of the install? Are the amber lights on with headlights?

Zee.....I am a complete noob when it comes to headlights, so please excuse my ignorance. I have a question about changing my QUAD lights (2017 2500) to the projector lights. The Retro shop sells a harness that makes the swap plug and play. My question involves this adapter harness. This harness has (as he describes) an aluminum box that contains the resistors (see link with video). With the Alfa program would this "aluminum box" with resistors still be needed? Would it be possible to just have a harness (just wires) that adapts the quad and projector lights and not have this "box" with resistors? And just change the settings in the BCM with the Alfa tool?

https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=13.Adapt

Honestly for a $150 I would not risk it, not to mention you'll have to rewire the controls for your turn signals and park lights.
Jeremy at the retro shop would be the guy to ask, he is very helpful and responds quickly

ok I just added the cd I do not really use it but when I update my central console I had the cd now the alpha can make it work in my 8.4 you just have to go to external disc module and select eject cd and it will appear on your screen

Cesar592 · Dec 20, 2018

forget something in the external disc module enable the cd and everything will work

That's good to know. Has it persisted through being shut off for a while? (i.e the button stays even after the truck has been off for a while?)

That's good to know. My truck came with the CD player and I rarely use it, but it was one of the codes that we weren't sure how to turn on with the alpha tool.

Checking to see if others have this problem.. switched from the TPMS to the TPIS on my truck a couple of weeks ago, everything worked fine, cleared the low tire pressure light. Noticed a couple of days ago the tire pressure screen doesn’t show up in the EVIC anymore, cycled thru the screens multiple times but doesn’t show up any more, I guess ill just set it back to TPMS and adjust the pressure levels.

I have not messed with this but I believe it all depends on what you select. I don't believe TPIS gives you the detailed section on the EVIC. Maybe select "Logic 2" or "Logic 4"?

I haven't had to mess with mine yet or probably won't depending on whether or not I change something up. Could be it just took a while before it disappeared like some settings take longer for the BCM to set the changes.

Leaving it at TPMS and adjusting your thresholds give you the information you're looking for, and a warning when you are actually running low. Set it at 20psi and you'll never see that light unless needed.

Just my opinion, I'm sure you have your want of TPIS only for a reason. Just throwing out conversation.
