Default Issues after installing DBALL2 Remote Start, Any Dodge Techs here???

Looking for some input from someone who has experience with the DBALL2 remote start and BCMs.

I installed the kit over the weekend on my 2015 Ram and since install I dont have my compass, interior overhead lights, garage door opener, and I cant dim/brighten my dash lights.

Everything was pretty straight forward in the install and there are a ton of good reviews out there for this but for some reason I had issues. The remote start works fine but the above listed issues need to be fixed.

My question is if I need to go to the dealer to have the BCM flashed? And if thats the case will I need to reprogram the DBALL2 module or will that be ok? I work in the service industry at a dealer of other equipment and I hate hearing my service manager talk about people bringing in something after they have messed with it. I want to make sure I know what I did or didn't do wrong before I result to the dealer.

Any info would be appreciated.

Also, if anyone can tell me how to disable the horn honk when I press the lock button on my FOB that would be great. I didnt see it in the owners manual.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: It was my screw up, I didnt have the blue BCM plug fully seated. This is a great kit, follow this link if you decide to install one. This link with the ebay sellers instructions made this a simple install. Took me about an hour, could do the next one in 20-30 minutes.

Best bet would be to contact the supplier.He may have ran into the issue before.You get it from Doug on e-bay?

BTW Seriously looking at one of these myself.Mostly because of the plug and play.On a few forums and haven't really heard of many problems with these.

Well, it was my mistake. The blue connector in the BCM wasnt fully seated.

I highly recommend this kit to anyone who wants something simple to install and that works with your factory remote. I bought it from Doug on Ebay, and would buy it again.

I used this install guide from the FAQ on this site, very nice write up, worked well for me. The instructions that Doug sends compliments this very well.

Ok, found it on another forum.

If you want to disable the honk with the door lock just hold the unlock button for 4 seconds and then at the same time hit the panic. Lights will flash and no more honk with the door lock.

Download a copy of your owner's manual here: http://www.ramtrucks.com/en/owners/manuals/

I think they only provide a hard copy of a user's guide with a new truck. The user's guide contains only a very small subset of what's in the owner's manual.

I have a 2015 Big Horn and you can edit the lock and lock / horn functions by going to settings in the nav screen.
