Hi all, I have a 2022 DT 1500 Limited, but it is the version that they export to Aust. I went to try to add my caravan (Travel Trailer I think is the US translation) and after doing the research I have found my UC5 system does not display the Tyre Pressure option below the Trailer Name. So my thoughts are the option is not fitted hence no hardware (I imagine that there is a RF receiver at the back of the truck somewhere but I don't really know, would like someone to enlighten me) or software, or the option is functionally installed and what ever hardware is needed is fitted but turned off in the car configuration file (CCF). I have installed TPMS units in the caravan tyres so if I can get the vehicle end to play the game, happy days.
Can any one help me out with what the situation might be. Is there hardware, where do I find it or how can I check that it is installed, is it a CCF issue?
Thanks all

Did the trailer TPMS's come with the truck? If not, I'd suspect you don't have the package needed. My 22 was ordered with the trailer TPMS option and the sensors came with the truck. They integrated with the uConnect system easily.

Not sure what it would take to add it after the build.

Thanks, no it did not have the sensors with the vehicle, I suspect this might be a lost cause but will try to sort it out. It really is quite absurd, RAM in Aust market these vehicles specifically for their towing ability, a really big marketing aspect of the vehicle. If it is the case, then to not include the option in vehicle built for Aust is just dumb.
