4th Gen 5" radio upgrade to an Android Radio
Darn... thanks for the reply. I am not much for Apple products and I hate the way iTunes ruins perfectly great 24 bit music when converting, so I guess it must be the Uconnect crap that is controlling the volumes. I would be perfectly fine staying with the 5" Uconnect radio if it wasn't for...- DarbyOhara

4th Gen 5" radio upgrade to an Android Radio
I went back to my 5" original Uconnect radio since I can not find a decent upgrade that doesn't costs hundreds. And with brand new 3" kickers in the dash, the sound on some of my FLAC 24 bit music is outstanding. However, I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with. I am playing...- DarbyOhara

You installed that in what truck? According to crutchfield, it is not idatalink compatible and therefore won't work in my 2018 RAM 2500. I wanted to go with a simple chinese android with all the bells and whistles. I purchase the ATOTO A6 and it sits in my closet. Can't find a wiring harness...- DarbyOhara

4th Gen 5" radio upgrade to an Android Radio
Oh, I forgot to mention, somewhere in my researching someone suggested to use the RDBS Car Stereo Wire Harness. It does not have SWC or Backup camera. I don't have any audio controls on my steering wheel. And if it works for the A6, I'll just install a new backup camera. I found it on...- DarbyOhara

4th Gen 5" radio upgrade to an Android Radio
Yeah, I pretty much am giving up on the android aftermarket in this truck. According to crutchfield, the only harness that they know that works properly is an aftermarket with the idatalink. And the choices are very slim. In fact, right now, crutchfield does not even have any in stock for...- DarbyOhara

Ok, the saga continues. I took a perfectly new install aftermarket android radio from another vehicle, connected all the wires using cloth electrical tape and the PRO4 harness. Plugged it in and up boots the radio. Searched on a FM station.. got sound. Placed in reverse, backup camera is...- DarbyOhara

Ok, apologize that I am so late in updating this post. I had many issues going on... mainly health issues. Along with many debugging, troubleshooting, researching, etc. I am at a stopping point of the A6 install. After back n forth talks with Atoto tech folks, PAC tech folks, Crutchfield...- DarbyOhara

I have another question. I tried searching and reading but can't seem to find my answer. On my FOB I only have the open/closed locks buttons. If I buy a new FOB that additionally has the auto start on it, can I use the alphaFOB to program the FOB so the auto start function works? Or is that...- DarbyOhara

I'll look thru that thread when I get some free time. But to update, Alexey finally replied and added some screenshots of what to do to update the RF data in the bus (hope I am saying that right). Followed his suggestion, turned of ignition completely and turn it back on.. GONE! Finally I got...- DarbyOhara

No one can help? I have emailed Alexey a few times and I got ZERO reply from him. It feels like I spent the money on the app and get no help. The app is very complex and anyone with little experience with it would be lost. I hope someone can help. I want to get rid of that annoying tpms...- DarbyOhara

I have been waiting since wednesday for a reply from Alexey... thought I would see if someone knew the answer here.

Right. So I finally contacted Alexey about the google playstore issue and he gave me a direct download link for the app and a link to request to purchase a reg code.

Folks, I need help with a decent app to simply change/delete the tpms threshold. I tried a zillion times to purchase the alphaOBD app from playstore only to constantly get an error [OR-IEH-01].

Yes, I emailed Alexey and he replied by the next day. He said the playstore app was compatible to my 2018 RAM 2500. I also just got the OBDLink MX+. Since I have the 2018, I also had to order the security bypass cable which should be here in a few days. I'll be so glad to get rid of that...- DarbyOhara

Well phooey! Guess I'll have to look into getting the 4 digit code then. Another issue I am troubled with is the Alpha OBD app. I went to the playstore to see the cost and it is $49. The app claims it is mainly for Alfa Romeo/Fiat cars. It does also dodge ram. Is there different versions...- DarbyOhara

I watched a couple of videos related to my truck/year/model installing the bypass. easy peasy! So I ordered the bypass cable from m2Mod's website. I also ordered the OBDLink from amazon. Once I get both of them, then I will look into getting the alpha obd software. For the tpms, it doesn't...- DarbyOhara

ok, and update. I lowerd the rear tires to 57 psi and man what a difference that made in the ride over bumps and railroad tracks. So I think that really helped. However, now I am getting the tpms error on those rear tires. I guess the previous owner had the front settings adjusted, but the...- DarbyOhara

Thanks again everyone for your replies and feedback. Since this is my first HD 2500, it relieves me a little to know that the gas mileage is about normal.

Ok, I'll have to have my local tire store do that check. I wouldn't know how, nor do I probably have the equipment. But the stock 17" tires do not stick out what so ever. I do notice a slight pull or wiggle in the steering when I am making a slow extreme turn left or right. So maybe you are...- DarbyOhara

Ok folks. I went out to my truck and snapped a few pics for you on my front shocks and springs. It doesn't appear there is a disc above the spring. I could be wrong. I took two angle pics and hopefully it helps. If it is not leveled, it sure does seem level and high. I also included a pic...- DarbyOhara

Yes, I will look into the tire pressure. If I can't get a better ride over harsh bumps, then I'll look into the Bilstein 5100. The pedal commander. Had to google that and I watched a few youtubes. Not sure I want to spend the $300 for one of those. I am not unhappy with the performance, it's...- DarbyOhara
