I did this mod as well but used a water proof toggle switch down at the receiver. You tie into the solid purple wire that’s in this connection under all the tape under the bed of the truck by the bumper if not mistake I’d have to look to see exactly where it was located.
Yeah exactly! I know if my carplay2air dies or stops working I’ll be ordering one of these the same day lol. Having everything wireless is wicked specially if your keeping the vehicle for many years.
Yeah I don’t want to update anything incase it screwes it up lol. If it didn’t work I would be buying this module as well. Just not sure why the dealers can’t reprogram our modules instead of buying all new.
Yeah I don’t believe that for a second. I took the entire on star module with Bluetooth from a 2010 truck and put it in my 08 without issue. I don’t see why we can’t take a 21 module and use in our 20’s. Right now I use Carplay2air in my 20 and it has been flawless.
Perfect thank you! That’s the exact tire/rim set up I been wanting to do. Do you have any side pictures of it as well also how far the wheel sticks out. Thanks.
Yeah man I was so nervous! Yeah I love having it specially since it’s ties to the high beams then I can use the auto high beam button and don’t have to worry about turning the bar off and then the high beams. I might put a 3 way switch in later so I can also manually turn the bar on when in low beam but not sure yet.
I was going to but then seen another guy mount it here and I liked it as well as their is a nice steel mount on the truck in this spot that worked perfect.I do a lot of winter driving so figured it would stay a little cleaner up higher. No I didn’t find a manual online to take the grill out. It was basically take the top plastic clips out then I believe their was some bolts up top to take out then the grill just pops out it’s a good little pull. Then I had to pull the black plastic by the headlights out to make room to get the grill out and unplug the harness for the camera in the front. I also has to cut the black plastic that was mounted to the chrome to get the lightbar in.
No problem at all I’ll grab some tonight then tomorrow I’ll get some during day. The wiring wasn’t bad once I figured out the wiring as it had 2 relays into one switch to control the DRL then the rest of the bar. I used fuse taps to tie into the high beams and ignition
I put one in the bottom of the grill. It has a DRL feature so I wired it into my ignition for DRL then tied it into my high beams to turn the hole bar on.
