Thanks, I have the bucket seats. Every time I have to take out the crome trim ring around the center console, it is the biggest pain in the a**. I have plastic moulding trim pry tools and I still have a heck of a time. The first time I took mine out I cracked it. Surprisingly, one of my local dealers (before getting cut) replaced it under the warranty. That stupid trim ring was $60. WOW.

 

There is a known issue that several people are having with the key fob not working correctly. Here is the thread for it. Dodge hasn't identified it as an issue yet. One of the later threads talks about bending the battery contacts up slightly. I have done so last night and I will keep everyone posted on if I have any success or not.

I have the NAv TV unit. Works great. I had the lockpick and it was a disaster. I had to have the blue tooth replaced as it damaged it on my REN.

Sent a few e mails, they never responded... (JUNK!)

 

I put white grease on the tabs of the ring. Comes off much easier. Of course you have to nudge it of gently and equally the first time.

 

If you want the backup to work other than in reverse, you will need to wire it differently. If you want it to work the way it does now (only in reverse) you don't have to change anything.

 

I still have my lockpick installed (waiting for my allgig to come in) I was having the audio cut out problem. Do you think that it permanently damaged my RER unit? Should I have it replaced out again before I put the allgig in? I don't want to deal with the hassle of taking everything apart numerous times. Any suggestions?

 

No, you won't need the RER replaced just dump the lockpick.

 

That infamous chrome ring seems to be the hardest part of the job of getting to the back on the radio. I made sure he vehicle was nice and warm inside, plastic seems to respond better when warm, and you just pry with a Fid or that plastic / nylon pry tool or the one they use to fix the rubber when installing he old style windows, regardless make your way around it a bit at a time it kinda like taking it off all at once but a bit at a time. Once you master it you won't find it so bad. Besides if you crack it just snap it back on and get the dealer to replace the chrome piece you notice was cracked, should be warrantied. Not nice but have you seen the hourly prices for labour lately, gimme a break over a hundred and hour for half trained techs. I am sure there somewhere are fully trained techs who want to punch me out but really when it takes 2 dealers 14 hours to starscan a unconnect module..seems it was a training process there.Luckily I only had to pay for one hour of it, and that was cuz i installed it myself.

 

The audio drop out problem is caused by the LockPick interfering with the bus communication between the radio and the truck. There is no damage being done to the radio itself. I had the LockPick and audio drop out issue and once I replaced it with the AllGig and updated to the latest software my audio has been fine. If you don't want to take your truck apart more than once, just wait to take the LockPick out until you have the AllGig in hand. Also make sure you properly install the latest and correct software on the AllGig and test it before you button your truck back up. I accidentally installed the wrong software on mine and didn't test it until my dash was back together. I had to take it apart to reflash the software. Good luck!

 

Leave a USB cable plugged into it and run it into the glovebox. Makes it much easier to do updates and change the settings.
