Thanks for the help guys!

Glad it worked for you. Now that you got that figured out you might want to go in to your seat material settings and change it to perforated leather if you installed Laramie seats. It is most likely set to cloth by default and now that you have leather seats you're going to want to get the seat pads little warmer.

I almost did that but wasn’t sure if I’d benefit. Thanks for all the help. I’m sure I’ll be bugging everyone more with all of this.

I wanted to enable the longhorn special package on my new long horn cluster. I first set both special packages to longhorn - black/cattle tan since this is the interior I’m upgrading to. No go, the logo never changed. Changed it to just longhorn both places and bingo I now get the longhorn logo on the EVIC. The one thing I did notice was that both times I made the change, it reset the theme on my 8.4 UAQ back to the generic Uconnect theme. My suspicion is one of the special package options is instructing the radio on what themes to present on the radio and the other changes the logo on the cluster.

Most of the special packages splash screens did not work for me. I'll have to go back and mess around with setting one package over the other and see if I get anything different. I know when trying to figure some of the different settings out dealing with themes, Alexey said..... "I know sometimes it takes much experimenting to set something to work, because of inter-dependencies or contradictions between the options."

Also, when you say the generic Uconnect theme you mean the one where it only says Uconnect on boot but doesn't give the Ram text and logo?

I'm not sure what the boot image on a UAQ looks like.

Ask any questions you might have. Everyone here this very helpful. With the AE tool we would run into problems trying to set things but this new alpha tool seems to be very forgiving. Just pay attention to what you set and if it doesn't give you the desired results just put it back to where it was and you should be fine. There is also a setting for the steering wheel type you might want to check in make sure it's still on full leather.

Are you still able to get the kit? I tried posting in that other forum but never heard back. I know its a decent expense just to try, but I bet they would work with you on cost if it turns out that BCM setting can actually make the whole thing work!
Last i heard George (i think was his name) had a bunch on the shelf ready to go until the whole shifting thing surfaced so who knows? I doubt they tossed them, i’m gonna shoot them an email and see what they say. I like your thinking!

Actually. If you remove the encoder motor and use the 4wd switch to cycle through the settings, then change the bcm to a different type, you might be able to see if it changes where the encoder ends up each time. No need for the parts since it seems that they figured out the root cause of the issue.

On another topic for those of us who have activated the VTA in our trucks if you unlock it with the key instead of the fob the alarm is still armed. Not really a big deal but worth noting so you dont accidentally set it off like I did. I doubt the trucks equipped with the VTA from the factory act the same way. Might be a setting we are missing.

Had a hard time testing VTA tonight because of the keyless entry door handles.

I had to roll the window down and reach in to open the door....

Yep, my factory VTA won't disable with the key, only the key fob unlock or touching the door handles.

Interesting that I upgraded the factory UAS radio (2018 Laramie) to a UAQ & the uConnect app & Guardian services continue to work...

Has anyone tried to program spare keys for their truck with AlphaOBD. The website says electronic key and RF remote control programming. just wondering if anyone has made the leap of faith to try and program their own keys?
