Your heated driver seat and steering wheel should automatically turn on if you have the factory remote start if it's under 40 degrees. Your mirror heaters will also turn on with remote start. It has worked for all of us without even adding the code. That being said if you have the factory remote start and your heated seats are not turning on if it's under 40 degrees then you can activate the Auto On Comfort CSM with the tool. This will put the settings menu on your screen to turn it on and off and have it turn on with remote start only or all starts. This is a picture of my truck after I enable the setting in the CSM menu. I know I had the control to turn it on and off but like I said it worked before I even enabled the code.059ae5dc57dd7a0cd1dae03d019a3b21.jpgd2b1937b6b36aaec4889b9e579d74361.jpg

From an upfitter PDF I found on the net:

"Starting in 2016 model year, certain Ram truck configurations will have bulb out detection disabled from the factory on REAR FACING LIGHTING ONLY. These configurations are as follows:"

So there may be stored codes for the lighting error that you cant see on the EVIC. Can AlfaODB see the CBC (central body controller) codes?

Just follow the steps and you should have no issues with DRLs. The only setting that seems to be questionable for some is the highs for running lights.

I just went out and set them, using the turn signal as DRL's. This is what I used before, so we'll see. I probably messed it up though...

I'm sure you got it. Let us know how it turns out. They should set pretty quickly.

@Outbreak Glad you have it working for you. Trust me, you're not the only one who has done things an not realized it. I lost my intermittent wipers by somehow toggling something for the auto wipers or rain sense?

For those that are just joining, I bought one of the cheap ELM327 Bluetooth adaptors off Amazon. While it allowed me to connect and navigate the system, it did not allow me to change any settings. Specifically I tried enabling my DRLs and on each setting I got an error basically that no data was transferred. So I ordered the correct adaptor that’s mentioned in the first post.

I’ll also assume that I need my RF code to be able to change some settings. Since I’m working tonight I’ll try to read the rest of the thread to see if I missed something.
