2023+ digital cluster swap (COMPLETE WRITE UP)

I got a 2025 module with the screen so I just used that for testing. Figured it gave me the best chance at working.
Yep that is very true .
Did you change the screen size in the bcm ?
I will do some messing around with the passanger screen hopefully over the next few days .
I’m gonna look in CDA when Connected to the screen and see if there are any clues

No, I didn’t do any setting changes in the BCM. I also didn’t have a chance to try getting the 14” screen connected to CDA yet. Let me know how you make out on the passenger screen.

I tried to connect but it doesn't let me with CDA6. I have a 2022 BCM and the 14-inch option doesn't appear. I don't know if the 2023 model will have that screen change, just like yours. Only the emergency light works. I asked for an original LVDS cable to see if I can get it.

Yeah I kinda figured that might be the case .
 
So for the guys who have TRX to get maps and tiles to show up using a pre 23 bcm will need two canbus modules .
Jimmy will be supplying the wiring harnesses and I will be supplying the canbus modules that will plug into the harness that Jimmy makes .
The canbus modules will be 300USD.

I know the bcm and dealer flash is close to that but some dealers won’t flash a new bcm or install it as it’s not the same part number as what is in your truck .
We have maps and tiles working on his DT with a 22bcm.
For the Tiles we are using the left arrow long press like 1 Second hold .
We are still working on the PRND display .
For you TRX guys it won’t be an issue as it has the required messages already .
I will add a pic this weekend of the two canbus boards required .
If anyone wants to try them out PM myself and Jimmy !
Thanks
 
I know some of you guys have HD rams as well and watch this forum.
I’ve sent a canbus module to another member for his DJ to see if he can get maps showing up too .
Hopefully will know In about 2 weeks as it’s shipping from Canada to US etc.
He has one of my modules already but the same as the DT will require two modules.

I tried my best with one module but it’s just not possible based on the behavior of the truck as I wanted to try and keep the cost down for fellow members but truck canbus was just to angry .

Nice job man, I’ll add your services to the original post.

I’m still running a “modded” WL radio in my truck. Actually wound up selling my “real” 2023 DT radio because there’s no difference besides the cost/ retail value.

I have even tested one these WL units that was produced all the back in 2/2021 and the ethernet still works fine so it doesn’t need to be from a 2023. Just have to watch the SW because if it’s on a “U3_.__” version (24MY) it’ll work, but give you RHO graphics in the performance pages instead of TRX. 🤮

All of this is to say, if anyone wants one of these radios shoot me a DM. I have a couple more that I did on T27.46, and tested in my own truck. They work 100% like original on TRX (and almost certainly any other DT for that matter) but I’d like to get a few more into other peoples hands to get their feedback too. We’d be talking about saving people 50% vs a real Ram radio so I think it’s worthwhile.
 
Hare is a pic of the two modules .
Half roll of electric tape as a reference for size .

I have a Jeep radio module on my test bench and seems to working the same as the Ram radio .
The only thing I have noticed is the pitch and roll has a pic of a jeep .

Hoping to put my radio module in next weekend. Wondering if it would matter to put it all in at once, or do the radio module first and let it adjust for a few days.

Probably just a glitch of your test bench. When I was screwing around with these, I added the off road pages to my BCM (not usually equipped on TRX since most the data is redundant on the performance pages). Everything is Ram. The front sway bar disconnect is obviously not valid for a TRX but the rest of the info works and is all Ram as it should be.

The breadcrumbs feature on your page also goes away when installed into another vehicle. Doesn’t even work on my actual Jeep.

You can do it all at once. Install radio. Key on. Allow it a few minutes to fully boot then enter the unlock code as soon as you’re prompted. Navigate to the vehicle tab, scroll down to reset and do factory reset. The radio will go black for a bit and then boot back up and start picking the settings up. Camera and performance pages take a little time and a possibly a few key cycles to show fully, but by a little time I’m talking minutes not days.
 
I just wanted to give Jimmy a huge shout out with helping me get these boards out there .
He was removing installing bcm multiple times disconnecting modules to reduce data analyzing .
This is his DT last night .
We got the PRND working too for the non TRX guys.

said it before and I will say it again……you guys are amazing. I have a 2023 bcm installed but would have much rather gone this route because it possible to put it back to stock and doesn’t require a dealer visit.

Now I really wish one of the companies would figure out mileage correction….that is my only big pain in the ass.

Yeah it would be nice if the milage got working for us via alpha obd etc .
Let’s hope soon.
Cheers and thanks for the kind words!
 
Great job @skuppy069 and @Jimmy07! Amazing how much simpler and cheaper this has gotten in just over a year. Finding a cluster is the only challenge now.

PS, I would totally fund the development of a mileage correction tool if someone smarter than me wants to take that on. I’ve been pestering the poor AlfaOBD and JScan guys but they say it won’t be easy.

You and @Jimmy07 are awesome! I've been following this thread for a while and have to say I love the will power you all showed to make this happen for everyone willing to give it a try. 🍻Cheers to you all!
 
So I upgraded my UC 4 to UC 5 by swapping the Radio Module, Screen and using harness. Everything has been working fine, I noticed my Auto Emergency Braking is not working, its not warning at all. The setting is on, is there anything I need to change in AlfaOBD for this to work?
