Great info bud im always a big fan of ram content. I definitely recommend people to subscribe videos are very helpful and informative

Thank you very much sir.

Do you know if this will work for a 2024 Ram 3500 Bighorn?

[@vfr800fi07]

There is other things you need..but any can work. The trx has everything you need except the button. Some others may too. There is a list of items.

[@billyjenkins3015]

Are you sure you need to turn off the regular cruise control? I watched the other diy install video on YT and he says you can use both regular cruise and adaptive. Good to know you don’t need to buy the bypass cable if you have the Tazer, thanks for the tip!

[@vfr800fi07]

The regular cruise still works too.. under the Adaptive cruise control stop and go. So you can choose adaptive..or regular just like if it came with it

[@vfr800fi07]

Yes it all still works separate if you want

[@crvic9382]

Do you remember what the other option on the OBD linkMX+ was to activate the lane keep assist?

Wonder if I can do this with Autel? 🤔

[@eddieb9102]

Hey man, excellent job! Wondering if you can use this process for a 2022 Laramie Night Edition?

[@vfr800fi07]

That depends what other features you have. The TRX comes with all the necessary hardware to just add it with the button and alpha OBD

[@mikehouser2757]

Thanks for the video. Very informative, but I can't seem to locate the spring latch when I am fishing around through the holes. The shift levers seem to be in the way. What kind of angle do you need to hit the latch? Straight in or angle toward front or back, up or down? I've seen other videos but they don't show this part of the job either...... must be a real pain.

[@vfr800fi07]

Are you talking about the airbag release.. you just push straight in..make sure you feel it. Then push inward

[@vfr800fi07]

If you have a long valve core remover for a tire valve stem, it makes it easier to not slip off

[@ThaDonDeFashion]

does yours have a camera rearview mirror.. I've been thinking about adding one to mine but I have a sunroof

[@vfr800fi07]

Not in this truck but I added a camera in the other RAM rear view mirror on another video..works pretty good

[@wootof]

great video. i have a 2021 dodge ram 1500 laramie. i'm trying to add the adaptive cruise. everythhing went great except for the Security bypass cable from Kaodtech. the connectors are both white in color. (not green & white) one connector fits the the green can buss but the other connector does not fit the white can buss. i've tried to contact Kaodtech but haven't heard from them. just wondered if you have heard of any proble like this? with just the green can bus connected i can remove the old cruise but unable to ad the ACC..

[@vfr800fi07]

I'm not sure about that bypass.. I have a tazer in mine which doesn't require anything tied into the can bus

[@wootof]

@@vfr800fi07 got the bypass figured out. if you have time, the ACC is present but when i turn it on i get message that the forward radar sensor is in plant mode. any suggestions?

[@vfr800fi07]

@@wootof do you have the radar system on the rear view mirror

[@wootof]

also i think this might be the most relevant: code c2206 These codes mean that there is communication codes present in either the ABS module or other modules on the vehicle, a bad ABS module or the wrong VIN is programed into the PCM.

[@vfr800fi07]

@@wootof I know there is a specific abs module you need

[@keeto123456]

Sorry if I posted this question twice but I have a 2024 1500 limited. Can I add the ACC to it like this?

[@vfr800fi07]

It depends if you have the other necessary equipment.. like the forwards camera in the windshield. The TRX comes with all of the stuff needed on all models

[@iPocketPick]

Any idea if this would work on a 23' Limited 1500? I have Blindspot, and emergency braking, so I'm pretty sure I have the DASM.

[@vfr800fi07]

There is a list of items needed to add it.. I'll try and find it

[@johngrier5949]

So with having the tazer you don’t need a bypass OBD? Thought about the tazer for anti theft at least

[@vfr800fi07]

Correct you don't need a bypass... And the security feature.works awesome

[@cja2192]

What year is your trx? And where did you get your switch? I have a 2023 trx, I bought the adaptive cruise control switch from a mopar parts site and they canceled my order because under my VIN it doesn’t show that my truck came with adaptive cruise

[@vfr800fi07]

[@Ybshy]

Did you have to disconnect the battery before you took the airbag off?

[@vfr800fi07]

No I did not. You can depending on your comfort level...but it doesn't have to

[@superhanst]

I have a Bighorn with the Level 2 package. Does my truck have all the prerequisites to use the adaptive cruise control?

[@vfr800fi07]

If you have that windshield camera/radar that's under your review mirror I think that's all you need

[@superhanst]

Ok, great. Thanks.. How does your adaptive cruise work now that it's installed. Were you able to to clear all error codes by updating with the obd? @@vfr800fi07

[@chuckycheeeese]

how do I add ACC to my non-trx 2022 ram 3500. Thank you

[@vfr800fi07]

@chuckycheeeese it depends what other features you have. It may be expensive to add it off you don't have everything. The trx just happens to have everything parts wise you need except the button. So it's a $50 add on.

[@sonosyt8582]

What is the taser you have connected that you were referring to for the bypass?

[@vfr800fi07]

It's called Tazer DT which is for the TRX TAZER has different types for other Chrysler products

So I have the bypass cable, the obd 2 mx + and the acc switch but it doesn't want to register, do I have to turn the truck on completely or just to the run switch

[@shiningstaer]

Think it’s possible to add the 5th gen steering wheel to a 4th gen and do this???

[@vfr800fi07]

I would say no...the wiring would have to be the same to just add this

You would also need all the correct sensors for it to work as well.. the ALL TRX's come with everything needed except the actual button

Why you turn off the regular cruise control? Dealer videos show the trucks with both!

It doesn't turn it off... It still works. It's just the options you have to pick for BOTH of them to work
