Does anyone know if you opt for the Aux switches, do you lose the toggles and you get the same configuration as the current HDs?

Aux Switches

I think I have tracked down the part number for the switch panel I would need. I need to have the tow/haul, traction control, front park sensor and rear park sensor. Just like the image below. Have you tracked down the required terminals and relays? What is the part number for the tow/haul...

DIY: Add Aux Switches to 19+ Ram 2500 Laramie 6.7L

There are quite a few threads about Adding Aux switches and AlfaOBD to our trucks out there. I did hours of reading them and watching numerous videos on it as well as messages back and forth to get this installed on my truck. I wanted to make a DIY for someone else that wants to do it and keep...

If you don’t get the aux switches, any chance you still get the electrical bits to control through the screen?

Control what though the screen? If you hook anything up and want to control it via a switch, you will have to install your own switch... or you can likely buy the panel/harness and install it... hopefully it doesn't need the dealer to flash to make it work.
 
I just picked up my 3500 Longhorn with aux switches. Switches are integrated into the overall electronics. Configuration is done through the commercial menu on th dash. (Normal on, normal off, momentary, etc). On the drivers side firewall towards the top are two Deutsch connectors that are used with the wiring harnesses that are included.

It would appear to be a tough task to add this to a truck that didn’t have the setup from the factory.
 
You only get the AUX Switches if you select the Upfitter Electric Module Option ( code: XXS ) when you build your truck. If you dont, then you will get the normal switches.
 
Unfortunately, I just don't see the Aux option even when choosing the Upfitter option. Will need to talk with dealer.
 
Maybe the switches for the lockers and the swaybar disconnect take up that space???
 
My tradesman was outfitted with them because of the snow plow package. Is that an option on the PW?
 
I did not order/want the aux switches but they are definitely not standard on the PW with 8.4" NAV. Just get the traction control, tow/haul, rear sensor and front sensor switches.1071
 
Not ready to pull the trigger yet so I'm waiting to see what happens for 2020. I have looked at pictures of so many PW's and not one as Aux switches. It's so odd that this is not a standard feature.

Also, there is NOT a snow package option. Not sure what's going on with that either since I would think a plow is totally compatible with the PW.

My guess here is that you can't fit a snow plow up there with the winch or that the off road suspension is not setup to carry the weight of a plow up front (or both). We know the payload and GVWR is much lower than a standard 2500.

This is incorrect, I ordered my truck with the aux switches WITHOUT the upfitter module. I would think it would be if you get the upfitter module you can ONLY have the aux switches, but not the other way around. I can't remember what functionality the module gives you exactly but it wasn't something I needed, so i just got the switches.
 
I had to purchase my truck off the lot since my old truck died (a slow, expensive death). My truck does not have the Aux switches. Has anyone attempted to add the Aux switches to a truck that didn't come from the factory with them? I'm guessing the wiring harness is behind the dash and it would be almost plug-and-play, but I'd like confirmation if anyone has already looked into it. Bonus points if anyone knows the part numbers for the switches and the electrical components that will need to be added at the fuse box. Thanks!
