It can actually do the process of programming a fob, but you need it to pull the PIN first. Have you (or any 5th gen 1500 owners) tried using JScan to pull the PIN lately to see if it’s successful?
@Jimmy07 i successfully pulled the pin from my truck. Forgot to let you know. Can you provide the next steps?

I have a new FOB just waiting to be programmed and still can’t seem to pull the PIN. Upgraded the app, waited for the ODO to turn off like you said and all I keep getting is, “unable to read pin, wrong data”.

Are you using a SGW bypass when you do this?
You must use a SGW bypass

Yea I’m using one, that’s why I’m stumped lol 🤷‍♂️ I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the adapter. I'm using the Veepeak VP11 that is listed as compatible on the Jscan site. It has worked for all other adaptions in Jscan along with my SGW bypass, but won't pull the pin. Was really hoping it would work after the update and now that I saw theblet had success, but still no go for me.

Yes I am using the bypass cable. Also, the app states you must have a good internet connection to pull the pin.

Yea, I've tried connected to my home wifi and the 5g network on my phone; still no luck. What bluetooth adapter are you using?

Maybe the Veepeak VP11 doesn’t send commands to the ECU like the mc+

Yea, I'm thinking something along those lines also. Think I may just order an MC+ and see how it goes. Can never have enough OBD2 readers hahaha!

Maybe it's just because I have an older android phone (S9) but I had all sorts of issues connecting to the MC+. It was difficult to get it to show up as MC-Android (BT) and was always in MC-IOS (BLE) mode. So much so that 3 times, it completely whacked the BT connection to the truck radio and I lost all my favorites, etc. If you don't use Apply, I'd suggest sticking with the MC. I finally gave up and put my MX+ back in.

Maybe I'll try it again with the newer Galaxy tablet I've mounted in the truck.

Oh yes, the MX+ works with android. I have an iPhone so went with the MC+
