Ram DT 2025+ PROXI Alignment (Proxy Alignment)
A practical page for workshops and retrofitters working with newer Ram DT vehicles. Traditional OEM workflows may use PROXI alignment to distribute configuration. FCA PROXI Tool follows a different path: it preserves the original Configuration Code, recalculates CRC/checksums and writes the required ECUs directly. No separate synchronization or PROXI alignment routine is ever required after its write.
When alignment topics appear
- After enabling/disabling equipment options.
- After retrofits (lighting, infotainment, driver assistance).
- After replacing a module that participates in the network configuration.
SGW / authorized diagnostics
Configuration-first workflow
- Open the exported configuration buffer.
- Edit bytes/bits only where needed.
- Keep the original Configuration Code (sync identity) while making changes.
- Save a checksum-correct output file (CRC recalculated with proprietary logic).
- Write only to the ECU(s) you changed, then validate.
Quick navigation
What PROXI alignment means on Ram DT
Same idea as other FCA/Stellantis platforms: a BCM-centered configuration map and a synchronization routine so modules agree on installed equipment and behavior.

“proxy alignment” is normal
Recommended workflow (Ram DT 2025+)
Goal: preserve configuration identity, write checksum-correct data to the required ECUs and verify the synchronized result—without a separate alignment step.
- Automatic backup: FCA PROXI Tool automatically creates and preserves an untouched backup of the original configuration when it is read; no manual backup step or prompt is required.
- Edit: apply the minimum change set (avoid “shotgun” edits across many bytes).
- CRC/checksums: generate a checksum-correct output file (FCA PROXI Tool handles this).
- Write and validate: verify the vehicle’s behavior and DTCs after flashing.
- Verify: read back the result and confirm behavior/DTCs. Do not run a separate alignment routine; FCA PROXI Tool has preserved the identity and written a synchronized configuration.
If “PROXI alignment failed” appears
Treat this as a process problem, not a single magic button.
