I can give all of that a try. Post #52 is regarding grabbing a PIN. I've done that successfully, twice, now. (Got the same PIN both times, 5 days apart, which was a bit surprising. But whatever.) ...and my "working" fob was out of the truck, about 15 feet away. Thanks, once again.

So... another swing and a miss. Got my new (as recommended) fob a couple of days ago. Just went out to try to program it. JScan grabbed the PIN just fine (same PIN that it gave me a few days ago.) Tried to do the programming procedure. Got through the point where I had to enter the PIN, which I...

Good thread! Lots of info to read back through. I have had AlfaOBD almost since I bought my Ram in 2019. Have used it for lots of stuff. I have only used JScan for a little over a year, since I bought my JK Wrangler. I actually made my first programming change (tire size) to the Wrangler using...

My original 2019 remotes still work with their original batteries. I chose one of the vendors recommended above. My new remote should be here in a couple of days. (Not discounting your suggestion about the new fob/battery. Just that it was an old "amazon" purchase, and I haven't heard much...

Good stuff. I'll have to explore the connection a bit further. It is odd that it still grabbed the PIN, though. Makes me wonder if it's working "acceptably enough", to accomplish what I want. I'll read back through the thread for the fobs. Much appreciated.

Okay. So... baby steps? Or mis-steps. I Installed the app that the MC+ required, except that my phone is an Android, but the only option in the "available" list was MC+ IOS. Even when I chose "Android" from the menu. But... I let JScan connect, anyway. Was able to pull a PIN with very little...

Thanks for that comment. My BAFX still works, as far as it goes, but I don't have any trouble believing that it's inferior to others, when pressed hard. (I always had lots of "fun" setting up analog modems, back in the day. Easy to misconfigure. They would work - just not well.) I could imagine...

This afternoon I was going to try to add a new fobik to my 2019 Ram 1500 DT. Went through Jimmy07's procedure (and several variations thereof) and could never grab a PIN. Always resulted in words to the effect of "Could not obtain PIN. Incorrect data". Or something like that. I have the...

Update. FWIW... I discovered that I need to adjust the volume control when the app is "talking". That's the only time that the app volume is affected. Doh.

While both GM LS-based V8s, and Hemis, seem to have issues with chewing up cams and lifters, it only affects the LS stuff with MDS. Hemis seem to not care. From what I've read/heard, they can *all* apparently chew up cams and lifters if allowed to idle extensively. I have almost 50K on my 2019...

I have an ancient AutoXray 6000 that will report active and pending trouble codes. I believe that anything beyond a basic code reader (think "scan tool") should do the same. Edit - I'm not sure I've ever used it successfully on my 2019 Ram, however. But it works for every other vehicle I've...

I don't remember. I'll have to go and look. It's out in my truck, and it's raining small domestic animals here, just now. Are you talking about the SGW bypass module? Or the Bluetooth module. There are lots of different brands out there. I bought the ones suggested in the first thread I happened...

I tried searching, and found similar complaints, but nothing exactly like what I am seeing. I have noticed that my audio is not coming through when I have my phone plugged in, and am using Android Auto and Waze. Specifically, when using Waze, and it's giving me a direction, it will mute whatever...

Welcome! To the forum, and to the Rebel. My wife just bought a 21 Sahara with a 3.54 "open" diff. My Hemi Ram has 392 gears and a posi rear axle. I've wondered how it would survive on a mild trail, compared to the Jeep(s), considering how huge it is, in comparison. Still has the Wildpeak tires...
