    You can use the car key to engage the lightshow as well by pressing ( unlock, unlock, lock, unlock ) and by pressing unlock once to switch to the next lightshow. To cancel press lock button once or twice.

    This is a product I will be ordering... also primarily for the mirrors. The truck is about one week out (I have heard this before), so this is a timely video. As someone who is on no forums or social media I am not exposed to this stuff without channels like yours. Thank you for the video.

    I have a 2016 ram. I took the tazer out of my 2019 Charger RT and tried it in my ram to see if it would work just for fun. To my surprise it works. I don’t have performance pages but I can put it in SRT mode. And SRT comes up on screen when I start truck. I have all the skins or whatever you call it for the hell cat on my radio background. I use the hell cat. I can change engine and transmission separately for eco, sport, sport plus, or track. I can change it to be in any mode on start up. I have it so it starts up in Sport plus. It also has the light shows, but I don’t use that. Don’t sound fascinating to me. I can also get scat mode but I like the SRT. So if anyone has a charger and a Ram both like I do. You can save some money and not have to buy a tazer for both vehicles. Just buy one for Charger and use it to help out the Ram. Only thing is where you have the option for transmission 5 speed and 8 speed leave both at no. Because it has a 8 speed but on the ram it has the rotary shifter with just drive. And for some reason it will lock the shifter if you choose 8 speed. So choose no and everything works fine. No engine lights or anything. Runs a little better and shifts at higher rpm. It wasn’t a slouch to begin with but better now than it was. Fuel mileage is a hair worse. Was getting 14.2 mpg average. Now getting 14 mpg average.

    so can you use this to have the turn indicators blink white on the front and red at the back instead of amber, like with the older trucks?

      Honestly I do not know if that's possible, but I don't recall seeing a setting for that. I was able to make the front DRLs amber, and when I hit turn signal the amber halo flashes. I don't have any experience with AlphaOBD...

    How is this performing after some miles? I bought this after seeing it on your channel, and have been staring at it on the work bench for a couple weeks, as I am quite hesitant. A lot of the electronic mods on the Gen 2 Raptor I wish I would not have done, but there are a few features on this that I desire, I am just leery 😬

    • @CatchMeOffroad
      @CatchMeOffroad  3 роки тому +4

      It's a little iffy honestly, seems like every new feature I enable causes 2 standard ones to stop working 🤣 For example, changing tire size to 37 made my parking sensors stop working. If you're doing just the auto-folding mirrors and DRLs it works great. But many of the other features have bugs and don't work right yet...just my 2cents
