the sales/option codes you would obtain through your 3 day, 30 day, or 1 year subscription to Mopar Tech Authority but I may be wrong.

The programming piece I'm trying to determine which way I'm going with that. Here's my thought process.

Dealer wants $125 per programming "session" and I'm sure having 2 new '16 model vehicles I'll find something else to turn on or off

I found a tool called AutoEnginuity with the domestic (GM/FORD/MOPAR) bundle for around $750. I also have a cruise control to install in my son's 09 Cobalt which is going to require a trip to the chevy dealer @ $100 to turn the cruise option on. So I'm thinking about buying this thing but I'd really like to see some updated reviews on it instead of what I am finding that's 3+ years old.

Good point... In MN you are also limited to 6 lights on...

+1. Here in the good ole state of TX, having fog lights on with high beams will get you a quick rejection sticker on your windshield at inspection time.

sorry admins.. might want to move this to a more appropriate location than the welcome thread.

ok so I couldn't stand it (the wait I mean). The wife just got home and I was standing in the garage with switch in hand.

1. it takes absolutely NO effort to get switch out of dash. Simply grab knob and wiggle towards you and it will come out with the trim ring attached.
2. Once out, push in two little indents to release ring from switch and slide apart
3. look at end of plug and slide keeper towards plug while pulling on wires and it will release the wiring plug
4. put ring on new switch (only goes on one way)
5. plug in new switch
6. press switch back into dash opening

Surprise for me - the dash switch was already installed however it was a different part # than the one I was told by the parts guy to get. What was in there was part # 68230113AB and what I ordered/received was part # 68230114AB so being 1 number off I'm assuming it's simply a newer model with some sort of revision.

Anyways I replace the switch as well, very small flat blade pops it right out with scratching anything up.

get it all back together, auto works however the light sensing piece of it does not so the sec the ign is turned on the lights are on and stay on until ign turned off. Also I have no option in the menu to adjust the setting of "headlights with wipers" as I do on my 300s. I assume this is the programming piece of it.

2014 Crossroad. Purchased new last summer. If that wire is coming from the sensor, all I need is the switch! I'll be waiting to see what you find.

actually it's the other way around. Seems the wiring is there from the electrical system and ecm but you still need the sensor and you need to run that existing wire to the sensor you install in the dash. At least that's the way it was explained to me. If it turns out I don't need the sensor then still better to have it on hand and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to pull it apart and check it out.

Welcome to the forum. When I asked my Dealer about auto lights, he told me that they would have to take out 1/2 of the dash to run the wire from the sensor to the switch. Let me know what you find out.

I do have a wire hanging from the top of the dash to behind the radio. No one knows what it is. It would be nice if it was the wire from the sensor that goes to the light switch!

not sure what model and year you have but I have the 2016 Crossroad. I was told by my local dealer parts guy where to go buy the parts for less than 1/2 the cost of the dealer, switch and light sensor for dash. Both totaled $72 shipped to my door. I was also told by their lead mechanic that the wiring for the sensor is already there and tied up at the steering column and simply needs to be strung to the center of the dash. When I get into it, I will certainly snap a few pics for you guys. I'll be posting a question in some section shortly about Auto Enginuity.

Welcome to the forums. I've gotta ask, is Truck Nutz your father??

never heard of him. :-)

Ultra = Ultra Classic

NutZ = well I'm NutZ about my HD Ultra Classics

thanks

Journeyman425. I'm not sure how all this works sir but I'll ask - Have the DRL codes been corrected for the 16 models? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could look into it for me. I have to bring to dealer in a few days to get the auto headlights feature enabled as well so I'll get this done at the same time if possible.

2016 Crossroad - roughly 250 miles on it - last 8 = GT114289

Thanks,

NutZ

*EDIT**
Disregard above statement, found the DRL in the menu on the 8.4. If you can help with the code for the auto headlamps that would be great.

Thanks

Bought a 2016 300s and a 2016 Journey Crossroad last weekend. I've been around Harley and Duramax forums for years but never here. So I came searching for the answer to something that got by both the wife and I at purchase with her Journey and that was automatic headlights. This should be a standard feature even on bicycles these days if you ask me. Found the info I needed here and parts are already sitting on my counter, I just need to make time for dealer visit to enable the feature.

Anyways, hello to all from Cypress, TX
