    Looking for Overhead dual microphone wiring location 2018

    Do you get any NVH feedback into the mic there? I ask as I tried something similar but put it in an empty switch panel in the dash of my VW golf TDI. No one could here me clearly with it mounted there as the actual mic body was in physical contact with the knockout switch panel and thus a...

    Under front seat Subwoofers With Built In Amp

    I installed the Rockville 8” behind the back seat. For my personal preferences, this was just right in my truck. I tried to see if I could fit it under the passenger seat, but didn’t want to relocate the jack despite it being unlikely to be of any use to me should I need it since 95% of the...

    I’m pretty sure you are talking about one of the powertrain related modules if you have 4x4. If you do, then check out this link for some pictures: http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/towing/1703-how-to-install-a-bd-2-low-unlock-kit-in-ram-3500/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Comfort of Tradesman drivers' seat

    Your biggest cost variance will be in getting the seats. With front and rear seats in nearly brand new condition (dirty was all), wiring harness, and switch panel, I’m probably just shy of $2k. Harness from DeereGuy saves you a lot of the hassle, but you’ll have to be okay with pinning...

    As you and others have said this about the “AV/OEM” setup on aftermarket units with maestro...I went back out and looked again as I clearly wasn’t getting it. On my particular Kenwood, there is only an “AV” icon after entering setup. I must have tapped that icon a hundred times and saw the...

    Haven’t been able to make changes with the kenwood. Flashed the maestro several times when I first installed it...nothing has changed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AlfaOBD

    Has anyone tried and succeeded in using Alfa OBD to change normal user programmable features like turning off the horn beep when locking doors? I had my tuck in for the T51 water pump recall and they flashed the BCM for another recall. I turned the vented seats back on with Alfa obd, but...

    AlfaOBD

    I didn’t do anything specific to alphaOBD to get the soft keys. More likely due to the OBDGENIE module I bought that turned on the soft key, but didn’t actually enable them. I’m pretty confident you’ll be able to find a setting with alphaOBD. I just can’t point you to which one. Sent...

    How To Add Heated/Ventelated seats and Heated Wheel to Express/Tradesman

    To complete the circle on my install, I now have heated and ventilated seats installed and working in my 2015 tradesman trimmed truck. With DeereGuy’s harness and GhostRam’s help using alphaOBD software on a WIN10 laptop with OBDlink MX Bluetooth dongle, I was finally able to change both the...

    Thanks to the help provided by GhostRam, I now have ventilated seats in my tradesman trim level truck! Oh, and DeereGuy’s custom wiring harness too[emoji2] I took a couple tries fooling around. Had to exercise extreme discipline to not try and change other things I cane across before I...

    Any California truck owners? Need answers on registration and weight fees

    Sounds like you are active duty as I am. CA will waive part of the overall fee for non residents. I can't remember if it is the registration or license fee....think it is the same one you used to be able to claim as a tax when you itemized your federal return. I could have gone a step...

    I'm trying to use the WIN 10 version. Was finally able to connect (I think) using COM5 on my laptop by selecting the "advanced options" and what everyone is recommending for a bluetooth OBD transmitter.--->OBDLink MX. I mistakenly selected the wrong BCM under the device list in the...

    Neither is. After reading a bunch on the Dodge Dart forum today, that is what it looks like as the most likely to work with a PC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How To Add Heated/Ventelated seats and Heated Wheel to Express/Tradesman

    Dude, that is awesome! Right now I'm struggling with getting a BT OBD device to connect to the alfaobd software (PC version as I have an Iphone). I got 2 different BT OBD devices that showed up the day I was heading out on a week long road trip. So far no luck and today is the first day of...

    How To Add Heated/Ventelated seats and Heated Wheel to Express/Tradesman

    Didn’t catch that first time I looked. I do have a PC and already have a Bluetooth OBD tool (I doubt it will work). Website information is rather sparse, so I guess I’ll spend some time trying to figure it out. Is there another thread that discusses what or how every one has been using it...

    Alfaobd looks interesting, but I’m an iPhone user and looks to be android only. I may spend some time looking around to see who is renting the AE tool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How To Add Heated/Ventelated seats and Heated Wheel to Express/Tradesman

    I have mostly completed the install. Wiring harness from DeereGuy was top notch. Major kudos for figuring out where to pin each connector and come up with the right pins to populate the connectors. Heated seats worked fine once I got the right switch panel. Tried the OBDgenie CLM module to...

    Comfort of Tradesman drivers' seat

    I’m not 100% in what years it all applies to, but generally tradesmen level trucks have minimal wiring. I have a 2015 Tradesman. Just installed Laramie heated/cooled leather seats and only the seatbelt chime and airbag wiring was there. DeereGuy custom builds harnesses, and I got one of...

    Switching out solid rear bench with 60/40 rear seats 2017 1500 SLT

    So I finally got most of my other projects done and went back at this today while I was installing new to me front seats and some sound damping material. Managed to punch right through and there were indeed threaded holes. Pic should show no hole on Saturday de that would have the drivers...

    Best Aftermarket Head-Unit

    I actually had time to give crutchfield a call today while I was with the truck updating the firmware for both the H/U and maestro and didn't. Kicking myself now.

    Switching out solid rear bench with 60/40 rear seats 2017 1500 SLT

    That doesn't make me feel any better...but, yes, very strange indeed. Right now, and for the foreseeable future, I only have the pass side (60% portion) installed as I have a mount that holds an ARB fridge/freezer where the drivers side (40%) portion goes. So maybe only 60% of an issue :) I'm...

    Would be nice to gain access to trailer brake control ...though I guess I can just reach down to the console? I had a prodigy brake controller in my 2007.5 that I could see what voltage was. Without screen interface - I don't know that I'll have similar level of controls. I bought my current...

    I have the Kenwood DNX995s. Aren’t JVC & Kenwood essentially the same company these days? Regardless, I don’t get that screen...and I think I should. I just updated the maestro today with a flash released yesterday. And I updated firmware on the kenwood. Now I have gauges and the tire...

    Switching out solid rear bench with 60/40 rear seats 2017 1500 SLT

    Yep, 3500. Think you may have narrowed in on the difference. Totally makes sense being a different plant and the likely higher ratio of 2500/3500 trucks not having 60/40 compared to 1500s. I just gotta figure out what to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
