What did you do to your TRX today?

[Grey03svt]

I've seen pics of the entire lens tinted black and I don't like it as much. I like that this kit just covers up the white portion.

I did the same thing

My R8 is mounted in about the same spot as his. Recently though I put my visor down and found that it's stopped by the radar detector. I'm 6' 2'' so I dont use it often but when I do I push it all the way forward. Unfortunately, that placement doesn't allow me to do so anymore.

No biggie though it's something I am learning to live with. I would move it down some more but I purposely placed it there as my limo tint visor keeps it hidden from view. Outta sight, outta mind... especially when it comes to thieves.

My wife uses visors all the time. I guess it's back to blend mount

I went with an integrated system for both Radar/Laser (Escort) and cameras (FitcamX), which I like a lot. Clearly not the cheapest option, but super clean and out of the way. Will also help when if I find myself in certain states and a police officer wants to know why he can't get a laser fix.

I was looking for something in this arena when I was shopping around but did not find anything similar. This is definitely the OEM+ route I would have liked to go.

Mind sharing a link?

Got my windows tinted with Autobahn i3 ceramic 22% and surpassed 100 miles. It was tough keeping her under 55 MPH and 3500 RPM's.

My camera is a FitcamX, which I bought from Amazon as shipping was cheaper and faster than going direct - https://fitcamx.com/?sscid=81k7_wzxnk

When I had my audio done, I had asked the installer if they had heard of it. They hadn't, but offered to install it for no charge. I've always had BlackVue cameras in my cars, and that's what they install. I consider Blackvue software to be pretty bad, but the camera is solid. So far, and I just had FitcamX installed, it looks pretty good. Not better or worse than Blackvue, but integrated. I'll add a better picture below.

My radar system is the Escort Max Ci 360 Radar/Laser Defense System. I kicked this one around a bit and then saw a motorcycle cop pulling a laser scope out of his saddle bag as I was driving to the installer, and that did it. I've only had the system since Friday, but haven't received many false reads at all. No laser yet, but I'm sure that will come.

I love the FitCamX it's very useful and discreet.

With the Escort control panel did they have to make the bezel themselves or is this something you can purchase on your own?

I believe that the installer made the bezel. You're not far away. It's Signature Audio in Scottsdale. Very close to Scottsdale Quarter.

Thank you for the information. I'll check in with them.

Installed Diamondback SE cover.

Today, I replaced my sub.

Looks awesome!

 

[Nickh4444]

Swapped my passenger mirror today for one designed for a Limited; same as my factory mirror, except it has auto dimming. Used Alpha OBD to turn it on and tested it: it works!

Do you have any pictures or more info on this, sounds cool!

Installed Red Hound Auto clear door sill protectors. They are hard to see in the pics, but that's the point.

Truck looks great in that color !!!

There are a few ways you can do it, and there is a write up on the forum here about swapping the glass only, routing some extra wires, and then activating it in AlphaOBD.

Factory Ram passenger side auto-dim mirror retrofit how-to!

The Limited gets this feature but the TRX did not. Unacceptable. Besides, I was running out of mods to do so it seemed like a fun little project. The mirror glass is expensive new; a bit over $200. I initially rejected this idea for that reason alone, but I found a whole entire mirror (with...

That looks really good, but I wanted a little easier/lazier approach and a more OEM look internally, so I opted to just swap the entire mirror assembly. Only thing it hurts is your pocketbook a little more vs buying the glass and other items that OnTheReel did. End result is very similar.

I basically followed most of his steps, and his pictures are good; but instead of unpinning/repinning plugs and wiring, I installed a new mirror assembly, meant for a Limited trim that has everything.
68276510AH
This is the unit for those that have all the options like my Havoc does: 360 camera, heated glass, blind spot, memory, etc.

The hardest part was swapping the mirror covers, as the Limited auto-dimming assembly comes with a chrome cap. The plastic clips are tight and somewhat easy to break, as are the clips on the glass. There are Youtube videos on how to swap covers and glass on 5th gen Rams, so I won't go into that unless you really want me to. (Hint: I did manage to break my factory, non-dimming glass... whoops.)

Used AlphaOBD to turn on the auto-dim, and boom, it works. Also turned on the tailgate ajar warning while I was in there. Without this forum, I would have no clue on how to get started with most of this stuff. My wife does hate how it feeds my addiction...

I was going to do that mod to my 2021 Laramie, but after I got the widows tinted it didn't seem necessary anymore. I suppose I need to ride in my buddies Limited to see if it makes enough of a difference. He has the auto dimming right mirror and his windows are tinted.

 

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

I have a love/hate relationship with this tint kit. I've applied and removed it twice now. I want to like it but I just wish they sold a kit that covered the entirety of the lens. I reached out to Luxe as I figured it wouldn't be hard since they already had this cut out. Unfortunately, they did not and said it would be best to buy a roll of film or take it into a tint shop.

Curious why did u remove it? Didnt like the look or install probs?

Its rare that its needed, but I still find it handy at night, especially when you get a bozo with crap LEDs and misaligned (or just plain not aligned) lights behind you.
