  1. The Mopar harness is different from the canbus. It has a capacitor in it to absorb the PWM from the headlight wiring in order to keep the relay closed when the supply voltage drops. The Mopar harness does NOT have the canbus portion as that does not work for the Dodge vehicles. When I ordered my kit a year+ ago, I called them and said I wanted the Mopar harness and they sent me a special invoice. Not sure why they don't just have it as an option on the site.
  2. Ha! I love that it was that easy... Hey dhh3, now you can't quit talking about it and get off your ass to do it. OP, I'm sure you were already planning on it, but once you get the programming bit done let us know how it works.
  3. I believe it will turn off after you address it the first time, but I'm sure someone else will chime in with a more positive answer.
  4. Hmmm... good question. It can be annoying. I wouldn't mind a notification that didn't audibly interrupt the music. Have you looked in the owners manual? I bet the answer is there if it is possible.
  5. Got mine 2 days ago, but all it really says is "we don't have parts, we'll get back to you when we do"...
  6. I don't like how the front ends, but other than that I think it looks good. Something about the points on the front is too asymmetrical or something...can't quite put my finger on it. Love to see people make things their own, post up pics when it's installed!
  7. I have AWD, but I do agree that it handles the snow quite well. This year I bought snow tires for the first time in my life and so far the ground is still bare. Go figure...
  8. Sorry, I understood that your issue was intermittent, I was asking about the transmission interlock issue. What larryl is getting at with his post is that the vehicle may not believe it is in Park or Neutral and is therefore not starting. I thought that when the interlock was bad it wouldn't shift at all, but thought I may be wrong. I was trying to clarify exactly what larryl was getting at.
  9. wouldn't this result in being stuck in gear? Or is it an intermittent thing?
  10. These newer Dodges are super finicky with the power supply. At 6+ years old, I would replace the battery, but if you don't want to do that I would at least load test it as mentioned. The battery doesn't have to be toast for it to not play nice with the car. Long gone are the days of the simple vehicles; all of the electronics present nowadays bring a new factor to the equation. One dead cell could wreak havoc.
  11. I was thinking about getting new summer wheels. I will decide in the spring.
  12. The fact that it is clicking means it is trying to start, so I am leaning away from the fob. This (one click) is usually a tell tale sign that the starter is not getting full voltage from the battery (i.e., a bad battery). You say that you know the battery is good; can you expand on how you know this to be true? There are many reasons why a battery may appear to be fine when in fact it is not...
  13. Ha! All I have done is my wheels and anything not black on the front end... and it was right after I bought it 2 years ago. I figured I'd have to touch it up quite a bit (pun INTENDED ), but not yet
  14. Mine have been dipped for a year and a half with no signs of wear. They have also had the rubber switched out to winter tires. No need to touch up if you do it right and get a pro to change the tires.
  15. You could have ordered the correct harness, you just needed to call them. Bummer that you have to deal with it now...
  16. that's what I was gonna say... more or less. move the tire and see if the situation follows suit or not.
  17. I have the Curt receiver that hangs below the bumper. It doesn't look bad at all. I wouldn't bother with some clown cutting my bumper and using the less robust receiver just to avoid seeing it. You wouldn't even notice mine if you weren't looking for it (and that's with the 2" receiver tube).
  18. I would be surprised if the idler is the cause in the 2016... Let's not pretend that the 3.6 is a quiet engine, it may very well be normal operation. Can you take a video of the noise and post it?
  19. I wonder if this is a change in 2015??? Are you using the voice command to try and send the text? You can't reply on the screen in motion but you can most definitely use voice commands in my 2014 to send the canned responses... I doubt it is a law thing. Texting while driving is illegal everywhere I think; it is definitely illegal in MN and mine works (via voice commands).
