Morgan, thanks for taking the lead on doing this!!! Great job!!!! BMan, great write-up on how to do this!!!
Now for my question. Someone had asked earlier if this could be done on a 501a that doesn't have the HUD connector and have it still work. Was this ever determined to be doable thing or is there something else that needs to be done to make it work? I have a 16 Lariat 501a package but it does not have the HUD connector in the dash. Not having the HUD is not a deal breaker, as I don't want to have to pull the dash to replace the wiring harness, but the ACC would be great to have. My g/f has it on her Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk and it is great for highway driving.
Thanks for all your wisdom on this!!!

OK, that's what I was wanting to find out. Any idea how hard it is to change the main harness? I'm not sure if I want to undertake the task of tracking it down and getting the right one and installing it. I don't drive this truck as much as my last one ('14 XLT) simply cause I'm riding my Goldwing more and more with the nice weather. Not a big deal if I don't do this so it's cool.
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

That is correct...It's not a hard conversion, but the ONLY way to change the main harness is to remove the dash entirely. It is mounted to the reinforcement beam all along the dash making removal (for lack of a better term than TF used) extremely laborious

Good catch
FYI - If you are copying the FORSCAN programming info from this post, be sure to correct the typo highlighted in RED below.
The address should be 764-02-03, not 764-03-03.

Great job installing, gentlemen. Awesome we have more uptake on this mod. Great value in this, and the additional safety/comfort is a real asset.

I completed this procedure today... thanks for everyone that posted helpful info here!
I actually installed the module in a non-factory spot to account for my aftermarket bumper, and I think that's why calibration took longer than I thought it would.
My process is documented here.

Ok ,I finally got the full write up done. Take a look and see what you think. As always, these mods are done at your own risk and make sure you use all the proper safety gear and procedures for working on a big *** truck.
