Nice! I didnt think they can retrofit the old style. Guess I'll be sending mine in also. Was there a special link on their webiste? *Just found it...the SAE's models dont fall under "UService" upgrades.
There is a free upgrade service for people with the gen1 SAE. Uservice is for the other models you can mix and match lenses easily at holt.

Good luck, I just went through issues with phone connectivity. They won't actually test any parts, they just want to check codes then try with their phone. I wound up needing a new Uconnect box and it took 4 visits to get sorted out. No loaner for any of the first 3 cus no repair being performed and Stellantis doesn't cover diag time.
They performed an update. It worked for about 200 miles.

Some simple stuff. Agency 6 shackle block assembly. I liked this one because it could be fit close to the bumper so less likely to walk into it, but sticks out enough to deter my bumper being bumped in parking lots. The bump deterrent is it's main purpose. The Rugged Ridge D Ring isolator I put on it will not be replaced when it falls off. The washers that came with it crumbled the first day. I suspect the isolator will soon. I put the D Ring on as tight as I could with orange lock tight as a theft deterrent. A small wrench will not get it off. It will take something with a lot of leverage.

Bulletpoint phone mount. The big cradle was perfect for my Z Fold Android. Tightened down in the hot sun. It is solid. Can't be happier with this one.

Today' new stuff. Ram does not provide the attachments for using the divider as a bed extender anymore. They decided it was illegal to use or something, but was easier for the factory to plug the holes rather than redesign the bed I guess. $25.70 on amazon and only needs a T50 torx bit to install. Doubt I would use it often, but nice to have the option in case I want to move something long with the tailgate down while out on my hunting leases.

And for when my dog is riding in the back. The fold downs and underside of those back seats look like it will be a big dog hair magnet. Mud River Two Barrel Double Seat Cover. Also got off amazon. The black XL has a 28% discount right now. Pictures are with seats down and seats up with the fold down flat floor down. Length is perfect to cover everything with the seats in either position. Got one for the passenger seat too for when I am traveling alone on my hunting fishing road trips.

No matter what you cover the seats with, the hair will get EVERYWHERE....under the covers, under the dash...In every nook and cranny....you just got to accept the fact that hair is going to be part of your trucks second carpet. I have a German Sheppard and he needs the windows down...Now after each ride he goes on, I just take a leaf blower and blow most of it out.

This is my Vizsla Dash. I put a retriever title, pointer title, NAVHDA NA Prize 1, a 5 point major, and hunted him across 3 states every season on upland, waterfowl, fur, and more. I had to let him go to cancer a year ago. Picking up a new Vizsla Puppy next week so it all begins again. So very much aware. ;) But I still do the best I can to slow it down. And it will help to protect the leather seats too. My gear gets pretty dusty and muddy sometimes.

I have the same phone. mind snapping a pic of the phone in cradle please..
I am using the "tablet holder" and 10cm arm. I like it best in the mount using the phone folded open on it's side. It will fit upright too. Charging cord pictured is 10 inch, but I am going to replace it with a 12 inch cord. I do have to make sure the volume button is not under the edge of the clamp when I place the phone in it.

Installed MOLLE visor panels, black lug nuts, and a bath after hauling a load out to our blast site in Central Oregon.

Nose to nose photo is my first RAM 2007 2500 short bed, I sold it to my dad in 2008 after getting laid off and finally replaced it last year with Midnight. We joke that he has the young kid truck and I have the grandpa truck.

Where'd you get the MOLLE visor panel? Is it metal or plastic? Looks nice!

Which black lug nuts did you use?

Wanted to build this thing out to be a quick strike rig for peak bagging, fishing and backcountry skiing and no worries about being able to get any of it. Bunch of addons rhe last couple months, but just finished it off this week with the gofast finally arriving.

Today's project was a Powertrax Pro MX bed cover. Supplied instructions did not match, so it was confusing when I started, but it went in easier than i expected. I velcroed one key fob under the corner of bed and 2nd fob for now I paired to two of my homelink buttons. 20230727_200410.jpg
