If you do end up getting set up to perform the proxi alignment yourself, these are the steps in witech:
Close witech, disconnect the device from the OBD port, turn truck off, open then close door, and let the truck sleep for 15 minutes.
PERFORM THE PROXI ALIGNMENT
Now that you’ve confident that you correctly changed every setting that you want/need to, you have to run the proxi alignment.
Alfaobd isn’t capable of doing this, and the most practical way for most people to do this at the moment is to take it to the dealer, and...
USING ALFAOBD TO MAKE CONFIGURATION CHANGES (continued)
Now the part where it gets a little complicated. Since we’re looking at a settings list for a Jeep Grand Cherokee, not all settings are present that pertain to a Ram (an example would be the 14” radio screen size). Also, there are no...
USING ALFAOBD TO MAKE CONFIGURATION CHANGES
What is needed:
1- AlfaOBD app for Android, with license. You get this app from the google play store.
I don’t recommend the windows version of alfaobd because it has issues restoring proxi configuration backups, which also means it can’t write a...
UNLOCKING THE SECURITY GATEWAY (Continued)
Once you’ve got the AutoAuth account, subscription, Xtool registered to AutoAuth, and Anyscan app downloaded, you’re ready to unlock the gateway.
Plug the Xtool into one of the ports on the OBD splitter, then plug the splitter into the truck’s OBD...
Alright, here’s all the info on how to use alfaobd on these 2025+ 1500’s. For those of you who are familiar with using it on previous Rams, Jeeps, Dodges, etc, this is going to be very different, and at first seem a little overwhelming.
The modules (ECUs) in these 2025 trucks use a proxi...
A 2022 Ram 1500 doesn’t use a proxi configuration, so there’s no possible way to run a proxi alignment on it, and no need.
This is why I mentioned earlier in this thread not to mess with country codes unless you have an original backup file of your vehicle with alfaobd first.
REAR ANTENNA INSTALL
Part number- 68593565AA
The rear antenna installs on the backside of the rear bumper in a plastic bracket/cradle behind the license plate.
The purpose of this antenna is so the tailgate handle will be passive entry also.
The connector for the antenna isn’t present, so...
Yes, I’m aware (don’t need a bunch of posts cluttering up the thread subject confirming passive entry is an option on rebels).
I was more making the point that I already obtained logs for a truck with and without passive entry, so more focused on passenger screen.
That actually might not be possible. Unlike the pre-2025 door handles (which just had sense and return wires), these 2025+ handles are nodes on the CAN FD network. The truck might not like seeing two additional identical front door handle modules hooked up to the network at the same time.
For the programming, this post will be geared towards those that are already familiar with alfaobd in general, are going to use the exact tools I have listed, and are going to use the dealership to run the Proxi alignment.
**I am going to create a detailed thread dedicated to how to use alfaobd...
Pic of #5 wire insertion position for the connector with the lever:
Run the driver side end of the harness under the glovebox, and across the dash to the driver door, reinstalling the glovebox closeout panel and radio screen along the way.
Fish the four wires with female socket terminals to...
INSTALL CAB HARNESS
On the front passenger side floor, remove the bolt and white push pin holding the module to the side wall, lay it down on the floor (still plugged in), and pull the plastic Christmas tree pin holding down the various wiring to get the connector pictured below freed up. You...
INSTALL
Start off by removing everything in the cab necessary to run the cab harness:
Pull out all the floor mats, passenger seat tire jack cover and equivalent driver seat cover, and front driver and passenger door sill trim (just using trim panel removal tool):
Pull rear passenger door sill...
I’ve got the passive entry install figured out on the 2025-2026 Ram 1500, so here’s the write-up.
This is a bit complicated and can be expensive, not due to the parts and install, but due to what’s required to get it all programmed. More information n that in the programming post below, but...
That was incorrect information posted above.
On ALL 2019-2024 5th gen Ram 1500’s, you are able to have the fob in your pocket, shut the truck off while you’re inside, open the door, press the lock button on the inside driver door master lock switch, exit the truck, close the door, and it will...
The 2025+ rams are a completely different vehicle as far as the communication architecture compared to pre-2025. You aren’t going to be able to do anything with JScan on your truck, even by faking it as a jeep WL or WS, which is read only anyway. Even with alfaobd on the 2025+, several tools and...
