5TH Gen Alfa OBD

[brian42]

I know that feature doesn't work for the 5th gen 1500s. Sounds like it applies to the 4.5 gen HDs (5th gen cab) also.

I am also having problems enabling the tilt mirror in reverse. First of all I noticed that when I tried Programing it, it says it’s already enabled. But I enabled it anyway. Somewhere I read that I should see it in the radio settings on safety, but I don’t see it.
Anyway, no luck. Did I missed something ? Thanks

I have a 2022 RAM 1500 with a Uconnect 5, 12" screen...I have managed to activate AUX cameras 1 & 2...and have them working with after market cameras. The AUX cameras along with the OEM reverse camera have one thing in common when viewing on the Uconnect 5 screen...the video images will terminate after about 15-20 seconds when traveling at highway speeds...I looked for vehicle settings but found none, and have looked through the AlfaOBD settings but have found nothing to bypass the video feeds from ending. Anyone know of any AlfaOBD setting I might have over looked?

To do some of the stuff in here y’all talk about which code reading device should I get? Local auction has these

Neither of those are capable of doing what AlfaOBD does.

Could you post photos of what the 12" radio screen looks like with all 3 cameras hooked up?

umbighouse - here are the pictures you requested...the first picture is from the OEM reverse cam...at the bottom it displays icons of the 2 AUX cams added via AlfaOBD...I named one "Front"...which I use for front parking...the other I named "360 Cam" (my plan is to add a after market 360 surround camera system...once I get up the nerve to drill holes under my side mirrors. The 2nd pic is of a view from the front AUX cam...up in the top left of the image is a icon/label for both AUX cams added. The 3rd pic: I currently am using the second AUX cam feed to display an image to a LCD screen I'm experimenting with in a modified driver side sunvisor. The 4th pic is of the 12" Uconnect 5 Vehicle settings screen...the 2 AUX cams show up as Aux Camera 1 and Aux Camera 2, and can be accessed from the screen. The 5th pic shows the 2 AUX cams populating the Uconnect 5 Apps screen...the AUX cams can be accessed from the screen also.

Anyone tried or successful at changing the heated steering wheel from OFF/ON to OFF/LOW/HIGH ?

I have the heated wheel but I see only one possible selection: Seats A:Heated Wheel Levels. ... changing this is not effective. Possibly because "Seats A" is "Not Programmed". What is "Seats A" ? I'm not "programing" Seats A unless I know what else it effects. Anyone know?

Cheers

 

[brian42]

I don't think so. My BCM only has yes/no options for if the function is present. I do have the option to select the wheel material type but I don't know if that would adjust the heat.

I can select multiple levels for the seat heat but not the wheel.

You probably have the memory seats with your Laramie which might be "Seats A". I'm not 100% on that but that would be my educated guess. On the 1500 it is near the driver's door handle and you can have two driver presets in there. Those presets do more than seat position - I'm not sure how much more because I have a Big Horn but I would assume seat position, mirror position, and radio presets at a minimum.

Yes, this is what you would set:
Seats A: Heated Wheel Levels- 3 Level (High / Med / Low / Off)

Memory: Heated Wheel Material Type- Wood/Leather or Full Leather

OK thanks. I tried the 2 Level choice - no joy there. What is your "Configuration Seat A" setting? Mine says "Not Programmed"

I think your guess is that "Seat A" is the memory position "1" on the door. Humm interesting. I do have the seat memory button programed with seat positions but Perhaps "Configuration Seat A: Not Programed" means that I have not connected it to my key fob... not sure how to do that either ... I should investigate that a bit further. Thanks for that idea!

Mine is set to not programmed, but that setting has nothing to do with changing the steering wheel heat levels.

Ok, In the "memory" list I have:
Memory:Heated Steering Wheel Present: YES
Memory:Heated Wheel Material Type: Wood/Leather

I'll try the 3 Level setting

What cameras did you buy/use what was all required any writeup?

 

[billybaloneey]

Go visit the 5th Gen Ram forum...there is a thread/discussion titled "Adding OEM Front Camera" it covers everything I did.
