When I upgraded my passenger mirror to one from a Limited that had the auto-dimming, I also found this out. Ruined my plans to resell my original unit. Oh well, at least the Limited glass didn't break, as thats even pricier due to the auto-dimming feature.

The auto-dimming glass is thicker. It doesn’t usually break, and comes off easier too. Pretty much everyone is breaking the passenger side.

When I did mine, I didn’t crack the glass but one retainer clip did break causing the mirror to vibrate on the highway. Swapped to auto dim anyway so no worries now.

What all do you have to do to swap to the auto dimming glass?

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...

The FE came with it…thankfully because when I changed out my caps I thought for sure I was gonna break it.

Decals on my Ram badges. Went with reflective red. The driver side R is a little warped, but they sent me an extra set, so I'll probably replace it at some point. Otherwise went on pretty easy and I like that they add a little pop.

Got the SLP Loudmouth's installed. Sounds awesome! Normal driving in auto sounds the same to me. But when you mash the skinny pedal she's loud.

Wasted time figuring out that the 2025+ dual charging swap is likely gonna be a no-go.

Thought it might work since it’s still on LIN bus just like our trucks, but it’s looking for a different message than the truck is sending. Won’t power up from our bus (and won’t power up with no bus). Not totally giving up but my hopes for some semblance of plug and play are shot.

Painted mirror caps and smoked blinkers on my '22. I would 10/10 do it again with any color truck. Passenger side BSD didn't work at first - pulled it apart and one of the pins/wires in the connector was pulled out a quarter inch and not making contact. Probably from the violence of popping the mirror out, but I was able to fix it.

Quick question or if anyone knows but is there any difference between these smoked turn signals and the stock ones on a 2024? Didn't know if this was only an update from 21/22 models

I was thinking about doing this as well

This has nothing to do with Android Auto/Car play. But this post got me thinking if a new radio module would fix my connection issues? I did the cluster swap but still haven't done the radio module or bcm yet. Uconnect 5. Any advice?

My 2023 radio has been working really well. No CarPlay connection issues ever. If you do plan on completing your swap down the road it wouldn’t be a bad idea to grab a 2023 radio anyway. Otherwise I’d try the other obvious things…reset, maybe pull screen and check connection on the radio module for the BT/WiFi antenna. Although it should work even without the antenna. Most people who swap from UC4 don’t connect one.
