AlfaOBD, "Active Blind Spot Present:YES"

[RAS NJ]

If i change in Cab Net: Blind Spot Module to "Enable" and Blind Spot Sensor to "Enable" will I now have blind spot detection???

Not likely. You need to have the modules in your taillights as well as the correct mirrors. you can order a kit with all that stuff, but it isn't cheap.

Ok thanks. was thinking about buying taillight with sensors. I only want audible with turn signal on

Do you know what years that could be done on? Our new Jeep has it and really wish my 2015 did as well. Last time I asked I was told here to "learn how to drive and use the mirrors".

I don't think you can do it to any Ram older than 2019. This thread I started has a ton of good info. It actually already shows at the bottom of this page. The search function on here works great.

Blind Spot Detection System

As some of you know, when I ordered my 2021 Laramie, Blind Spot and Cross path Detection were not available due to the chip shortages. I would really like to add it to the truck but despite extensive searches I cannot find much info on retro-fitting these. Does anyone know if it is possible to...

I added it to my 4th Gen. This is a great thread on how to do it. Roman made my harness and is a big help if you have any questions.

2019 HD Tail lights in a 4th gen

Assuming you have to have the '20+ BSM modules for that to work? Yes, that feature was added to the HD trucks starting with MY2020.

This right here.
I added BSM to my 2018 2500 with this post, works great.
With the BSM mirrors glass or 5th gen mirrors (re-pinned to 4th gen pin out) it's "factory"

It can be added to trucks going back as far as 2014 (potentially even 2013). 2500/3500 are just a few setting changes to enable the BSM after installing the 5th gen HD tail lights and connecting the BSMs to power and CAN bus. 1500s require a conversion module to make the blind spot modules work in a non-hd truck. For reference, I have it working along with trailer blind spot in my 2015 1500.

LEDs need to be connected to the door modules to work. If you don't want LEDs, you can just connect resistors to make the door modules think there is an LED present otherwise it will throw a fault for the BSM system.

Great info Roman, thanks. Did you just buy the parts from Mopar and make up the wiring looms or did you find a kit somewhere?

 

[Roman217]

The taillights came from Mopar (well eBay) and I made the conversion harness & module myself.
