I found the question you are referring to about the install of the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 in a 2019 Ram 1500 using the part # 3024-P. In the answer it was stated that the computer did not need to be flashed. This means you would not need to take the truck to a Ram dealer to have them reset any codes that might appear on the dash of the truck.
