So I bought a left over 2015 Ram 1500 with no tow mirrors, thinking I could readily upgrade them at my leisure. The dealer, after the fact of course, told me that can't be done due to various electronics in the mirrors. They specifically told me that if I replaced my power folding mirrors with the manual folding tow mirrors, I would get a CEL along with the related codes. Alas, power folding tow mirrors are not an option.
For now, I'm stuck with universal clip on mirrors, which will get their first test this weekend. Anybody know if there's a reasonably simple way to install good tow mirrors without wreaking havoc or affecting warranty?
Have you checked with other forums online? I know for the HD folks, they've swapped different types of mirrors (but it was a much more involved job). Basically, on top of swapping mirrors out, they had to change the mirror control module so that the right functions worked. I'm unsure if they had to flash the BCM as well though. Might try doing more research beyond RV.net.
