AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

[Jimmy07]

So far as I can tell with the search function, no one has updated the odometer. I've upgraded the gauge cluster with one from a limited. I've went through the steps to update the odometer, but no luck. Maybe I'
m not letting it "sleep" long enough.

Security bypass installed, newest version of AlfaOBD, connected via OBDLink MX. I've successfully done other things like adjust tire size, seat belt dinger, fogs with high beams. Just can't get this to adjust.


Any tips? Thanks!

You can correct the mileage on the 5th gen clusters with AlfaOBD, but it can’t do the hours.
The only quirk that’s different from the 4th gens is, the number that you enter for you miles needs to be closer to the equivalent of that number in kilometers, but not exactly.
So, if you’re wanting to correct to your old cluster’s 59323, enter 95471 in AlfaOBD, they fine tune adjust from there.

Not sure if alfaObd has that ability since it's a federal crime to tamper with odometer mileage. If you bought the new cluster brand new the seller should have offered the service

The act of changing, or in this case correcting, the mileage is not illegal. You can change your odometer to 0 every day if you want to, and there’s nothing illegal about that. It’s only when you try to represent that mileage as accurate when selling the vehicle that it becomes a crime.

Is a security gateway bypass needed for all changes done with Alfa including fog dropout?

Yes.
It's required for writing any values. You can only read without it.

Ok, thanks! Didn't need anything like that on my 4th Gen.

The SGW is new for the 5th gens to make them more secure from hacking

Just wanted to say thank you!
Was able to get my speedo correct, enable tailgate open warning, and blinkers as DRL.

P1DF3 code came up after making Alfa changes. Anyone had that issue? It says TCM - TransmisCtrl

Reverse the changes you made, or reinstall the factory back up and start over. There was a change made the computer doesn't like

It seems like the battery is dead, won't start

I wasn't changing any too major. Just fogs w/ high beam and tire size

Does anyone revert back to factory setting before going to the dealer? (for warranty purposes or similar?)
Do the setting set by alfaOBD get reset for something like EcoDiesel recall?

No. There's no reason to revert. And yes, if they do any restore and upgrade to the systems, they get reset. It's good to have a backup and then you can just restore it.

Only if they were to reflash the BCM for some reason.

I've had plenty of PCM and other module flashes done though none were the BCM and no settings were ever changed. I even leave my bypass cable connected to the can blocks and just unplug the OBD end from the factory OBD port when I take it to the dealer. I expect those using the plugs on the 1500's would want to remove them.

I have a 2020 Laramie 2500. I was able to get the off-road pages and performance pages to show up. Majority of off road work with except pitch and roll, which I know won’t work cause I don’t have the sensors for that. The performance pages say “application is currently unavailable” does that mean the application won’t load at all?

I recently updated my navigation maps to 2022 and did the software update that came with the map update. I tried to add the off road pages, unfortunately they aren't showing up for me on the 12" or the cluster. I wonder if the software has to be the specific PR-39.7.0 or can it be a newer version. Mine updated to PR-39.9.0. I double checked to make sure all three options show yes as activated and its been two days since I made the change. Any input guys?

How long have you waited? I can take a few hours to show up.

Its been about two days. I had read it sometimes takes 24 hours.

My off-road pages disappeared after updating to 39.9. not that they ever really worked anyways, so want too heartbroken.

Thanks, I figured it had to be the 39.9 update.
