Has anyone run across any settings for the MPG readout? Any way to calibrate it or change the values? Mine is consistently 2 MPG higher then reality and was wondering if there is a way to get it a little closer?

.


I wish I could do the same. Mine has been off as much as 3 MPG at times.

Chamolie.....check to see if you have "Static Gridlines Enabled" in your settings. Should be near the "Dynamic Gridlines Enabled" setting. May work. I would think that the cargo camera would have a single line in the middle of the bed and not be an active (dynamic) line.

Enabled "Rear View Camera Static Grid Lines Enabled" this morning with no luck, system still unchecks the box after a few seconds.
Camera works 100%, possible that in connector I440 in the C-Pillar on the drivers side, I tied into PIN 8 for ground.
I may have to route the ground over to i340 mirror harness passenger side A-Pillar for Z911 ground.

Any one tried updating the battery voltage regulator? I think there was a update to fix 16+ headlight flicker?

I read the entire thread and also looked at the Google drive document of confirmed add-ons, but I didn't see where someone added/enabled fog lights for a Tradesman truck. Forgive me if I overlooked it.

With all the stuff it does, surely it can enable this function.
I also have a compass module that come with my overhead console that I'd like to put in.

Can anyone confirm if either of these options are present?

I went ahead and ordered the OBD MX Bluetooth adapter anyway.

Thanks to everyone that had a hand in this, as I think it's a really powerful tool and I'm excited about the possibilities.

I believe I have seen all of these present but can confirm for you while you wait for yours to come in. Along with the program, OBD MX and Android/Windows device you will also need the security bypass harness from DeereGuy for 18' trucks.

The AlfaOBD software and the OBDLink MX costs together are about $125...well worth the price to purchase and have the capability not only for DRL, but other options as well. Also, supporting the software developer by purchasing AlfaOBD will help to motivate the continued development of the solution.

Thanks for looking into that...and for the reminder about the bypass harness. I PMed DeereGuy to place an order for one.

Found these settings with a quick scan through mine. Could have missed something though.

Just curious if anybody has successfully changed their tire size with AlfaOBD? Did it correct the Spedo? Did it correct the Trans Shift Points?

Im not sure how i did it but I think i enabled he compass in my truck. I was playing around with the app I selected something to do with the compass, and I dont recall selecting any changes cause I dont have the module, and now I had dash marks where the compass readout would be in the EVIC.

It's under safety and driving assistance in your settings menu. Remember you have to have the correct mirrors or it will not work. My truck is a 2014 and for some reason when I select the option on my screen it unchecks itself but as far as I know my truck is the only one that seems to have that issue which is annoying. Also remember sometimes the truck has to go through a few sleep cycles before the option will show up on your screen

Just wanted to confirm part number and settings for anyone looking to add SMART BEAM (automatic high beams). I have a '17 2500, so my mics are in the headliner and not in the mirror. The correct part number for upgrading the auto dim mirror to SB in a '17 or newer Ram (no mics in mirror) is 68295862AA (listed as a "CONNECTED" mirror, meaning Assist/911/UConnect). Takes all of 10 minutes to install. You will also need a new cover (1YW14DX9AC Lower Cover). I used the 5 settings for SB listed in post #1 shown under "Auto High Beams". Also did the settings for the "DRL's" and "Global Down". All work like a charm.
