I added the option for tow mirrors to shift down when i go in reverse but it doesn't work. I have the option on the radio but it wont save. I read on the app that you need mirriors that have a 4 pin connector

[@bahopik]

Thanks

[@papatomsthoughts]

Awesome instructions. Do you know if your dodge does not have the motorized fold back as stock and you install tow mirrors with fold back option, is it pre-wired or do you have to install another switch? My garage door only gives me 4 inches space on each side with stock mirrors, so tow mirrors will have zero room, thus the need for motorized fold back. Thank you

I don't think you can do anything with the demo. I think it is just so you can see what the app looks like. You have to get the paid version to change anything. Its $49 and you can make unlimited changes to not only your car, but any compatible car. There are some other similar devices that once you use it on your VIN, it cannot be used on any other vehicle.

Hi Barry! Can you tell me the numbers of the door blocks that you changed so that the mirrors folded? I can't find accurate information anywhere.

The mirrors I installed were not power folding. In order for me to do that, I would have to replace the modules inside the doors and replace the switches on the driver side door. I don't know the part numbers but you can get them from a junk yard. That would be the best option.

Im trying to install the same mirrors. have any ideas?

[@WorkingOnStuff]

There's a couple of things to try. The blue one needs a code to connect to your phone. You will have to look up your phone to see how to connect a device to it. Most phones can be connected by pulling down the top of your screen, holding down the Bluetooth symbol until the Bluetooth menu opens. Then scan for new devices. When the device is displayed, tap on it to connect. I think the code for the blue one is 1234. The $49 one you have may have a little button on it to connect to your phone. Once you have connected the device to your phone in this way, then you can go to the AlfaOBD app and connect. Hope this helps.

bearcagle hey sorry if I’m bothering you again but I’ve just installed those mirrors today and i have the engine light on because of the temperature sensor, and the sensor is actually stuck at -40 c right now, do you think it will go away once i will program it with alfa obd ??

[@bearcagle]

@@Italianborn replacing/adding different lights, components, and accessories on your vehicle without programming the computer may cause warning lights to come on.

[@Italianborn]

bearcagle i solve the issue already, I’ve been awake almost all night looking for an explanation..so the mirrors i bought didn’t have the ambient sensor in it..that is why the engine light came on and my temp was stuck at -40...so i took the sensor wirh wiring from the old mirror and installed on the new towing mirrors..now i just have to erase the error code with an OBD and that should be it..thanks!

[@bearcagle]

@@Italianborn good to hear. Nice trouble shooting work.

I got the same mirrors and my signals on the mirrors are not working, I didn't disconnect the battery, was that supposed to be done

Did you turn on "everything" in alphaOBD? Did you get the mirrors used? You can check the bulbs.

The mirrors came from a junk yard

Yes you could

Would you happen to know of any other obd apps that this will work with thats not 50$ im about to order this module?

There are a few good apps you can use. If you get the obdlink mx, it comes with an app. Torque pro is pretty cool app.

is there a way to do this then get a refund since thats all i need the app for

[@WorkingOnStuff]

I don't know about Google Play's refund policy, but $49 is better than paying 3 times that at the dealership, and you can use for more than just turning on features. You can read and clear fault codes, if your check engine light ever comes on.

This is the only app that I'm aware of that can modify computer settings on a Ram. Unfortunately for Apple users, it's not compatible. You can use an android tablet. You can check the Ram Forums. There are a lot of knowledgeable techs that may be aware of a new product that can work with Apple.
