What did you do to your TRX today?

Installed my dash cam today, Front and back VIOFO A129 Pro.
Thank God for YouTube videos.

If you search “TBM” that comes up under cabin net, not p/t chassis.View attachment 132334

I'll have to look again. I'm using the android app so it's a bit difficult to find stuff. That's in the BCM menu correct?

 

[AmosMoses]

Is that in all our trucks?!

Yep it's in all of them!

Found it, had to search "cabin" in the app.

What value did you put for this one?

Wait so we can turn that off with Alfa instead of ripping it out?

I think it has to be ripped out but that might be some confirmation bias because I just spent 2 hours in the July sun doing it. @Jimmy07 or @OnTheReel are the heros we need right now. I know you have to do all the alfaobd stuff so you don't get errors when you pull it out

Also, in truth, it's not that bad to get to. The longest part is getting this bolt out as there is so little access. The other part is the cables are a bit short until you get this connector out. Other than that, walk in the park.

Here are the service manual pages for the job. All credit @Jimmy07

Can you help us understand? What is the purpose for removal?

To keep FCA from selling your data and your insurance going up. But you lose the OTA updates, SOS service and the blue assist button in the oberheads functionality. I didn't have OTA anyway since I added the digital dash and 23 radio and I dont use the assist/SOS buttons so it was no loss for me.

Mine was/is set to “Type 1”. Worth mentioning that since mine is a 2021 retrofitted with 2023 electronics I never actually had a separate TBM. (UC4 has the modem built into the radio module and that went bye-bye when I swapped to UC5).

Anywho, there’s effectively no difference between our two systems now. Both 2023 UC5 with no TBM. Everything related to telematics is disabled and it’s all good. I would say if you’re not getting errors as it is now with the other settings disabled, I’d just leave that audio setting to whatever it was originally.

 

[OnTheReel]

Also, to the other question…simply disabling the telematics via AlfaOBD while leaving the TBM on the bus seems like a surefire way to get errors.

I just wanted to be like you. You're my hero

I had to do a patch cable for the nav GPS so if you disable the TBM via Alfa and don't patch the GPS antenna you may lose that functionality as well. Pure conjecture

Did a few things to my 24’, some are observable. Still digging the TRX since my first one in 21’. These are hard to replace as a daily driver.

Your driver fender / hood gap would bother me like crazy. I actually have the same problem.

 

[OnTheReel]

@TReX-RAM Just takes a second to raise the forward lip of the hood with the adjusters and it’ll make a big difference. One of the first things I did with mine off the lot.

If the hood is hard to close after adjustment you can raise the latch too. I had to with mine. Very simple job.

Mine looked the same when I got it, not only did the factory miss it but the dealership as well. Like you said, takes a minute to adjust it properly.

If anybody was going to catch that, it would be you . Funny thing is, my first truck had the same issue and I fixed it the first week. For whatever reason this truck seems to have a lot more character (built on a Monday?). The panel gaps or no joke and even the doors need some adjustments. I am going to make a weekend dedicated to fit/finish and behind the grill lights and dual ARB under the hood.

How do you like it so far? I have seen the VioFo YouTube videos and reviews from other ones. It seems to be a keeper.
