On the folding mirrors got the mirrors for 100 had to buy the two door modules and the new switch then bought the obd programmer from Infotainment I have 700 in it all infotainment wanted 1300
You could have just bought Alfa OBD. It's a software where you can enable all kinds of features in your truck. It only costs $50 bucks!

I have a 14 Express 4X4 and have added pretty much every factory option available.

Factory push button start with proximity sensor door handles. I have enabled all the correct factory codes with the alfa tool so the commands actually come up on the screen and it has all the factory features plus programmed my own high line keys with the alfa tool. Total cost $472 plus $120 for two keys.
Laramie heated/vented seats and heated wheel with custom leather upholstery from leather seats.com that I installed myself.
Auto on comfort control.
Memory seats
Memory mirrors
Auto dim rear view and side mirrors
Power fold mirrors with blinker and puddle lights
Steering wheel audio controls
Power sliding rear window
Auto High Beam
Global window down feature
DRL'S
Easy exit seat
Homelink
Factory power 115v outlet
Tilt in reverse mirrors
Factory cargo cam
Activated factory alarm
Automatic temperature control with custom bezel
Full factory 8.4 Nav conversion
Premium speedometer.
Laramie headlights and tail lights and much more that I am forgetting. I added all the codes with the alpha tool which costs $49 plus used the OBD Link MX that cost around $70 to connect to the truck and made most of my own harnesses with all factory parts and no third party vendors except for some harnesses from M2mods who are vendors on this forum plus avid members. Everything works exactly as factory. The alfa tool has opened the door for doing these mods and getting away from the ridiculous prices charged by some companies to enable one or two codes. I reccomend anyone interested in adding options to look into the alfa tool and buy your on parts from wrecking yards Ebay or car-part.com. I have spent a fraction of what I have seen some people post what they paid to add options and in many cases their's don't work exactly as factory because all the codes aren't enabled. You can pretty much get any harnesses you may need from M2mods as well.

Hey Rick, any idea on the below?
Trying to get the Power dor locks to work and the ambient temp code cleared?

Well I'm into the testing faze [emoji4]. Truck did not start on fire.... so thats good.
Added power fold mirrors - work
Power seat worked without OBD
Power windows worked without obd
Evic buttons work from new steering wheel and column

Having a couple issues I need some help with.

Ambient temp is reading -40, throwing engine light. I did route the new hood latch switch right to the bcm pins 11 & 23 on the connectors ( cant recall but was as per ram wiring)
Tried to move ambient temp sensor to DCM ( i assume that is door control module?)
And i added the hood latch to pin 11 with alpha obd. Unplugged battery overnight, still the same.

Power door locks not working. Tried to add but not sure im doing correctly in OBD.

Any tips?

1) ambient temp code- do I need to get into the obd and change more as I have the hood latch and the power mirrors?

2) Power Locks to work? What needs done in obd?

Note pics of logs incl. And as well i do not have radio or hvac controls installed yet.

Any help or insight would be appreciated [emoji120]
