Installing Autosync from WAMS and some other bits

[romclean1]

No blizzards yet this weekend so it's time to install the Autosync and get the custom BCM programming from White Automotive and Media services installed.   Also ordered a splitter cable for the ODB port as I have the AMP steps plugged into the port currently.   Pictured here is a wiring harness that I purchased by mistake from BTDieselworks... I thought that a modification was needed for 2017+ trucks, but that doesn't apply to the T1 series. The Autosync device shipped with some instructions (by mistake I'm sure) for the K trucks which doesn't apply to the T1 series - just ignore that and follow the WAMS instructions.

Also important to note this is all done via a flash update - and you won't need to leave the device connected to the truck afterwards - as far as I can tell.  

That said once the unit is registered, and your license is applied you can login to the web page and make your configuration selections online.

For me, that was fogs on with high beams (because I live in the boonies, and once you've hit a deer you'll understand), approach lighting modifications, key fob rolls windows up or down, got rid of the gong when door is open, increased number of flashes on turn signal tap, bumped tow/haul flashes up as well,  DRL's stay on with turn signal, bumped up the remote start run time, removed speed limiter (in case the fast zombies attack).

Once I fully understood the setup process for registering the device and following the WAMS instructions ONLY, things went quite smoothly.   

 

The approach and exit lighting is a gift to my across the street neighbor.  No longer will the crazy bright low beams blast his front windows when I'm backed into driveway and then remote start the truck at 4am when I'm leaving early.      

 

I tucked the splitter cable way up in the dash and now the ODB port is open and the AMP steps are plugged in out of sight.   

 

Overall, another one of those situations where following the right instructions is key, and YouTube research might send you in the wrong direction:)  The end result is exactly as expected and the support from WAMS was great.
