AlfaOBD

Can I just do the Performance Pages Present and that show up or do I have to do a full monte for it all, in order to get the performance pages? Not really interested in the off-road stuff.

The off-road pages have a better pitch/roll display and I like that it includes Lat/Long coordinates and altitude. Very helpful for those of us that spend a lot of time in the mountains.

The biggest mountain here is the levee.

You can use AlfaOBD to connect to the radio module (2017 navigator module), and run a few ECU resets to force them quicker.

Can you elaborate on this, not following...Thanks.

Instead of connecting to the body computer, drop down the list and choose radio. In the list of radio modules, choose radio navigator module MY2017 and connect to it. Click ok when the box pops up talking about blue adapter. Once connected, click on car with hood open, drop down menu box, and choose reset ECU.
One other thing- you can only connect to the radio module if you have an OBDLink MX+ or EX. You can’t connect to the radio (or any other module that asks for the blue adapter) if you have any other cheaper OBD interface.

My pitch/roll doesn't display any degrees.

I believe you have to be driving 25 mph or less for it to display.

Just knocked out the software update and changes in AlfaOBD. For whatever reason, I could not get the update to push through with the truck off while in the ACC or RUN position. It tried twice and failed both times before the update actually began. On the third attempt, I let it do it’s thing while the engine was running and it went through without issue. I confirmed afterwards and it is now showing the latest software version. I’m sure it was all coincidental, or an error possibly on my part but figured I’d mention regardless.

AlfaOBD was also being finicky this afternoon. It dropped Bluetooth connection a few times while trying to make the changes and it even told me that one of the options weren’t supported on my vehicle. I restarted my tablet and the app and it seemed to do the trick. I finally got everything changed over and squared away. It’s Just one of those days I guess lol. I am unable to force reset the ECU with my setup so I’m going to give it the night to do whatever it needs to do so that it will show up on the Uconnect.

Nice! Looking forward to tinkering with mine once it shows up. Let us know when you get the launch control piece figured out

It's going to fall flat on its face launching at 1000 rpm's.

I haven’t played with anything yet, cold and wet right now. I cranked it just to see what worked as far as the gauges and the AFR didn’t show. I know some things wont be able to use or work, but some will, and cool to have on one screen.

Yeah I agree. It’ll be cool to have the gauges showing on screen. The power graphs look pretty sweet too.

About the only thing that works on performance pages is the guages. Was trying to get the timers to work, but didn't see how.

 

[Dookie]

Yea, i think it works with the launch control and would show up after a run. Would be fun if it all worked, I guess TRX owners know.

Dont think launch control works. Havnt had a chance to try, but if the timers work, you have to have the timer page open and come to a complete stop until they start flashing

So I tried to update my radio using the pr39 and all it kept saying was media not found. The USB drive would light up 3 or 4 times and nothing more. I extracted all files on the v4pr folder to the USB. And nothing worked, I have 2019 rebel with 12" screen. Can anyone point me on the right direction I think I'm doing the steps correctly
