So it has been since last Wednesday I have had the HVAC config changes to Single Zone ATC. My truck came as single zone mtc, and I changed it to multi zone ATC.. I cannot get it to change back to Single zone ATC or MTC. It is stuck on multi zone ATC..It works ok, just the second zone does nothing. I'd like to have it behave correctly. Any tips on getting the single zone atc to take?
I went back an read your posts and want to make sure you understand that the AHBM doesn't have anything to do with your HVAC. AHBM is auto high beam module which relates to the mirrors sensor to trigger the high beams on and off.

The HVAC settings are located in vehicle config 3. Did you follow the steps below? Also, the dual zone ATC won't do anything if your truck came equipped with single zone MTC. How did your truck come configured (radio/HVAC)? The correct procedure on changing from single zone MTC to single zone ATC are as follows.

Vehicle Configuration 3: HVAC Configuration:

Select:
Dual Zone ATC

Disconnect AlfaOBD app & shut off the truck for a few minutes and you must wait for the Dual Temp sliders to display on the 8.4 radio before proceeding with single zone ATC change.
(Battery disconnect between can speed up the radio/BCM reset for changes, especially with a UAx radio)

Select:
Single Zone ATC

Yes I asked two different questions in Hugh beams and ac configuration.
Truck came with 8.4ra3. I have a Kenwood 9903 with idatalink maestro now.. hvac was single zone mct. It switches directly to the multi zone atc and it works but I can switch to single zone atc or mtc.
It’s been sitting on single zone atc since the 21st and hasn’t changed. I just changed it to the factory setting of single zone mtc to see if that works...

Did you install anything before making changes in Alfa for the ATC settings? If your truck came with single zone MTC then you would select single zone ATC but you have to follow the procedures outlined in the known working list I posted above.

All of the ones I listed from the known working list.
I'm just gonna assume that's the correct one since I haven't seen a setting that just says "ITBM/HWM integrated trailer brake module". Thanks!

If it does take, let the truck rest for a while with the fob away from and the truck locked up for a little while. It can take some time for the settings to take and some have mistakenly tried to set again thinking it did not work for them.

With an aftermarket radio and the maestro, you can only set it to “dual zone ATC” to have it work properly. I have the same set up, and if you try to go to “ATC single zone”, it will glitch out. This is because the maestro is flashed to a Ram truck, and all it knows the ram to have is either single mtc, dual mtc, or dual ATC.

Thank you for clearing that up Jimmy! Adding this comment to the known working sheet.

I changed it back to single zone mtc but now it is still in multi zone atc and I can’t adjust the temperature. I don’t know what the dual sliders are. I’ve never seen them

In case you missed it.

Let the truck rest for a while then go back in and select dual zone ATC per Jimmy's instruction.

I just saw this post and we had the same thing happen as Jimmy07. We flashed the dual zone ATC and it worked fine to a Pioneer head unit hooked up to a maestro. When we switched to single zone ATC it did not work we had no control over the temperature select buttons or fan control. We put it back to dual zone ATC it worked fine again of course the dual zone does not function.

can somebody please post a step by step instruction template on how to enable drls for projector headlights please?
the step by steps posted so far are confusing and don't quite match what I am seeing on alfa. seems like there are more steps than what has been posted.

it looks like you have to enable them in car configuration change and program custom features, correct?

thanks

Where do you want to activate them? Look for my name in post 1 and there is a Google drive link with step by step instructions with pictures

Just follow those and you'll be fine. If you have the 5.0/8.4 radio it could take up to 24 hour's for the setting in the radio to appear

No Several have tried in a doesn't work. We are assuming it's because Chrysler disabled the feature for safety reasons. Only Global Down works at this time.

Not with alphaobd. Since it wasn't a feature that dodge/ram offered in our trucks we can't get it to work. It may be a feature in a different product line with a different door module that potentially could cross over in work but no one has posted anything about it

I think it would be more useful to be able to make them up and down
