    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

      You can find the modules and driver side door switch panel at a junk yard.
      You can also program the truck with AlfaOBD to turn on the features of the new mirrors

      You can turn on puddle lights, but it's not called puddle lights in the computer. it's called mirror approach lights, or something like that. It's in the video. You can delete trouble codes, but if it's an issue still present, like a tailight out, it will come back on

      You don't have to have the app connected to your vehicle to scroll through the settings, so this is something that can be done while laying in bed. Once you find it, note the position of the scroll bar, or take a screen shot. This will help find it when you go back out to the truck.

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

    • @WorkingOnStuff
      @WorkingOnStuff  5 років тому

      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.

    Looking to do this for my 2017 Ram 1500, yours is the only video so far that made sense ($) and pushed for the $15 reinforcement brackets (duh). I saw this link and though wow, who would pay that much cheddar for a tow mirror upgrade (ua-cam.com/video/fRsAuTx9-Ow/v-deo.html) and their ODB Genie (for just $300). Really, for flash programming, certainty someone/anyone can produce a substitute just as good, for way less? "They" also say you need to upgrade door modules, did you need two new $200 a piece door models? The video I linked shows installing upgraded door modules, is this necessary? I bought new mirrors same as yours for $280 on ebay. Integrated tow brake and brackets shipping. thank you for the post.

    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.

    • @WorkingOnStuff
      @WorkingOnStuff  Рік тому

      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. If you want to spend more money, you can a kit from www.infotainment.com/collections/all/products/13-18-ram-truck-power-folding-mirrors-package?variant=6826894524452
