This thread has gotten so big it is hard to find certain posts. There was a member who enabled the DRL"s and had the controls show up on his 5" RA2 radio. He posted a picture to verify. He didn't set any extra codes other than the ones posted that have been verified. There is no extra setup for a certain radio.

Yes sorry, I noticed you included in your last post. I think you mentioned one of the codes didn't seem to set. Did you ever get that one to work? Also I have a 2014 as well and it definitely doesn't like taking codes sometimes.

I just cannot find it. Wasn't too bad when the thread was half the size it is now and if by chance the person that posted having the DRL settings in their 5" screen sees this hopefully they will post up. If they do, you can bet I will link the post on the OP!

I got the lights working successfully with the turn signals tried with high beams but didn’t work reverted back to the turn signals... set every code as outlined but the only thing that does not work is the ability to choose them in the radio...

High beams are hit or miss for some. Could be year of truck or configuration of headlight harness (OEM vs Retroshop adapters). Mine hum when I enable them so I have mine set as turn signals. Not having the CSM show up under "lights" in the menu is unusual.

Can you upload your current BCM config?

I’m out of the truck now would it be stored on the tablet? Also how would I be able to find it to upload it?

Yes, you would need the Alfa program connected to your truck to upload your current configuration. Once connected to your BCM, click on the little battery icon on the bottom and click Read System ID (let it populate below) Then follow the instructions below/

Uploading System ID (BCM) Information: Thank you Mpgrimm2
To upload your System ID information (BCM) go to the "Tools" icon in the upper right corner. From there select "Upload to Google Drive", it will ask you to link to Google Drive. Link your Google Drive to Alfa. Select "Upload to Google Drive" and "Upload Faults and Status Log". Then select "Body_Chrysler_Info". Name the file to upload whatever you wish. Done! Now you can go to your Google Drive and read the system info a little easier.

I had the DRL selection available on my 5.0 radio. I followed the original list on what to set. It was the first change I ever made and it took less than 10 minutes. When I put in the 8.4 it was automatically picked up and shows on it.

Was able to get my Harness installed today. Plugged in the Alpha OBD and set my TPMS and activated the DRL'S with turn signals. More to come. Thanks for all of the Great information here!!!

Can you pinpoint your steps locations etc so I can follow along and see what I’m missing??

If you go to the 1st post look for the words:
“Known Working List” in yellow letters. That is a link to a Google Drive document. Find the DRL section and confirm that all are set as shown. Two of interst are the Customer Selection and CSM. I have a Win 10 laptop and made the original adjustments using AlfaOBD v2030. I downloaded v2061 today and the list is very much organized now. When you hook up to your truck make sure you are going to the BCM and car configuration to find the changeable options.

Anybody ever get thos feature to work?713f7b3b608bdb4fa1d507f903f02ab1.jpg

I believe we came to the conclusion that those are for the marker lights on the rear fenders on a 3500+ Dually. No reports of anyone with one trying it yet. It doesn't do anything on a 1500 or 2500.
