Adaptive Cruise Control Install On My RAM TRX HOW TO

[@Naz_91]

you may not realize it but know that you are a legend for uploading these informative tutorials.. learned so much about the TRX with you, love from Saudi Arabia 🍻

[@TylerPotter]

That is awesome and means a lot! Thanks for the view!

[@BLKKNT2]

I followed the video step by step. Removal of the air bag and old cruise control switch was flawless. Installation of the new ACC switch and airbag was flawless as well. Excellent video and thank you for all that you do for us!

[@TylerPotter]

Glad it helped!

[@timbraga81]

Thanks for the very informative video. I ordered a valve tool but ended up using a small, longer, flathead to push the springs in. You are correct, they are a pain in the ass lol

[@TylerPotter]

Yeah it is a real pain to get them released sometimes! Thanks for the view!

[@joicyiii]

Got my switch in today. Took an old T handle Allen wrench and grinded a groove into it. Used that to release springs. Took me about 30 minutes total, including using AlphaOBD to integrate it into my system. There is one other step in AlphaOBD that needed to be done on my Ram TRX. Had to enable: P/T Chasis Net: ACC adaptive cruise control.

[@TylerPotter]

Nice glad it worked! Thanks for the view!

[@mathewshankweiler2002]

Can you use AlphaOBD with just your phone? Is it an app or do you need to hard wire connection to the truck using it's diagnostics connector thingy?

[@joicyiii]

@@mathewshankweiler2002 You have to buy the OBDLink MX and it plugs into the OBD port and syncs thorugh bluetooth with your phone.

No unfortunately all non TRX trim trucks will need a lot more parts. The ABS module and brake HCU will need to be replaced.

[@TylerPotter]

I recently used it for a 2.5 hr drive and though multiple small towns following my friend and never touched the pedals once lol

[@TylerPotter]

Unfortunately all non TRX trucks require more parts, a ABS module, brake HCU plus the switch and programming. It makes it a lot more of a involved install. Thanks for the view!

[@TylerPotter]

Not the dealership is not able to program this unfortunately

[@getnbigger29]

Tyler I know a bunch are asking if they can add it to their trucks, they need to pull their build sheets. The keyword to look for is full speed forward collision warning plus. This gives you the mirror camera module and the system to tie in the braking with it. Just ordered the parts for mine after watching your video . I had a loaner Pacifica today and used it for my 120 mile drive home through Baltimore and VA traffic it was night and day vs the drive there. Kind of punchy (also a low power v6) at times but still way better than me getting annoyed with the stop and go. You need to do a tutorial for the clock spring removal. The trx steering wheel frame is surprisingly cheap, swapping that or the rebel gt wheel on to my limited. Thank you again for the content

[@TylerPotter]

If you have a limited you will need more parts I found out. There is a big long thread on the 5th gen ram forums that talks about everything. 5thgenrams.com/community/threads/how-to-add-adaptive-cruise-control-lane-assist-fcw-auto-hi-beam-to-ram-1500.30924/

[@wootof]

nice video. i used it for installing adaptive cruise on my 2021 dodge ram 1500 level one . final problem i have is when you turn the truck off the adaptive cruise goes away. i get a code indicating that the anti-braking module does not support adaptive cruise. have you heard of this issue?

[@TylerPotter]

This will only work on the TRX, all of the other trucks will require more parts.

[@jeremiahharm69]

Hey Tyler what's a oe steering wheel gonna cost me for full leather with red stitching,? don't like the soft Alcantara leather .

[@sfields6903]

I bought a2022 Promaster with the emergency stop and I believe all the sensors. Do you think this would work on that as well? Did you have to use the Obd to add the option? Can’t believe it maybe that simple. I also have a factory digital mirror that’s not working. U think it might be that the option is just not enabled in the system programming?

[@TylerPotter]

I'm not sure on the Fiat based vehicle the electrical system is totally different on them. Thanks for the view!

Unfortunately non-TRX trucks will need other parts, the ABS module and the ABS HCU. Both of these parts are really expensive and are pretty involved for install.

[@TheJonapizz]

Can I do this with my 2020 ram 1500 rebel

[@TylerPotter]

You can but non TRX trucks require a lot more parts that are really expensive. Thanks for the view!

[@kevinjoyce5055]

So, if the truck already has the camera module in the windshield from the factory, is it simply installing the hard button on the wheel and enabling the feature in the firmware? Are there other parts needed to make ACC work?

[@Rvtraveler99]

Tyler, where are you located?

[@SuperbikeCoach]

Hey Tyler, how about installing the Digital Rear view Mirror? You think that's possible?

[@TylerPotter]

I have not looked into that. I could see that getting expensive quick. Thanks for the view!

[@BEOROPE]

So I have a Level 2 without ACC. I would only need to get the steering wheel switch and alphaobd to activate it?

[@TylerPotter]

If it is a TRX yes, just the switch and programming. Thanks for the view!

[@chevychad]

What sensor(s) does the ACC system use? And where are they located?

[@TylerPotter]

It uses the windshield mounted forward facing camera that is behind the rear view mirror in the RAM trucks.

That is weird I think the abs replacement was only for the trucks that didn't have any of the required parts from the factory, but if the truck already had the forward facing camera it should just need the switch and program. Thanks for the view!

Wow this is great..how much did it cost with all parts..i would like 2 do the same with my TRX..will the dealer install it? Let me know. Thanks

[@superhanst]

Can you do this on any Ram with the front and rear park sensors or is this specifically for TRX? Thanks!

[@TylerPotter]

The park sensors aren't the issue. Non TRX trucks will require more parts, the ABS brake module, brake HCU also would need to be replaced and programmed. For some reason they already put those parts on the TRX trucks? Sorry I don't have a better answer but thanks for the view!

[@erlanzavala6745]

Will this void warranty by any chance?

[@TylerPotter]

I can't really see how this would void any warranty. Even the programming with AFLA OBD isn't really tuning it is just turning on a factory option.

[@tristanhipps604]

Tyler i ordered Base truck hoping that would mean it would be built sooner……that theory seems to be void as i see many people who ordered after me getting their trucks faster. Anyway i want to install some features on my truck but i have questions. I want to add heated seats to it (this seems possible) i want to add a heated steering wheel (buying from a guy who is replacing his level 2 wheel for a full carbon wheel) and lastly the garage door opener which i think should be simple to find power for. Do you think i will run into major issues with any of these ideas? I never considered ACC on the base trucks, is that possible on the Base truck?

[@TylerPotter]

I have never tried to add or look into heated seats or steering wheel. The ACC can be added on any level of TRX since they all come with the front camera. Thanks for the view!
