Aux Upfitter Overhead Switches installed! - DIY writeup instructions & photos

[OregonMike]

I just ordered the 3 parts for $566 plus shipping. I am going to take the plunge in a few weeks. For the price and a little (maybe a lot) of extra effort this will be a better option than aftermarket switches. Now I just hope I don't mess it up!

I am debating about the programming piece. I may do it down the road and update the window module at the same time. The price for the scan tool is unfortunate.

Who'd you order from?

Ordered from this website and they were shipped from a dealer. They arrived last week and everything looks good. I am hoping to install in a couple of weeks.

Well, I installed the new parts and new harness, and it is all working perfectly -- but as expected, I looked for codes with forscan, and I do see the BCMC code.

@RustysBronco
I am in the process of working on getting it programmed. I installed these without a programmer, I skipped those steps in your procedure. Since I am doing this after the fact do I still try to install the PMI programming step, or just FDRS, or both?

thank you again for your help!

How long did it take you? Any major pain points? I am looking to do the install next week.

It took a couple hours, and I was really taking my time being careful not to break any clips, or scratch anything. Advice I can offer is to look over the steps and pics in this post, and to also watch the middleton motorsports youtube video a couple times and you will be good. You will need basic tools, and a plastic interior pry tool.

While I had everything taken apart, I also ran a power cable for a radar detector hardwire, so if that is something you have been thinking about, now would be a perfect time.

This is the youtube video, take a look, if you have not already, he covers all the tools and sizes you need for each part. Just take your time, and you will have no problem, good luck!

Try downloading and running the BCMC Module C Configuration. I'm not entirely convinced the PMI copied everything from my old module to the new one, but the Module mismatch error seemed to clear up just after I ran the configuration.

Although I'm salty they put this video out after following my instructions, without a courtesy of an honorable mention, I'll admit it's really good and thorough. Except when you get to the point where they tell you that you don't need to program the BCMC.
