Alfaobd question.

[jm13]

Hi everyone, might be a stupid question but I just got the alfaobd app and all the hardware and was going to change tire size circumference. I have a 2019 ram 1500 big horn and don't know what power net to connect to. Picture attached - any help would be appreciated.

It would more than likely be the 19 my DT. I am assuming you have a 5th gen? Also, what are you connecting to your OBD port?

The reason I ask is because at the top it says “Interface Not Connected”

I just got done downloading the app and was looking through it, I was not in the truck so no connection. I do have the 5th gen and for dt my 2019 power net there is var.1 .2.3.4 I'm new to this and just don't know which one and if I pick the wrong one I don't want to mess anything up

You're not going to mess anything up simply by choosing which "powernet" to go into. You can choose the 2019-2022, it shouldn't make a difference. Once you do that, on the next page you have to click connect for it to begin communicating.

If you scroll down further there is a 2019 option Wirth no var.

Exactly what they said you won’t mess anything up but yes use the MY2019 Powernet. But before you make any changes I would ALWAYS make a back up of your settings before hand that is rule number 1! After you make any changes that you wanted backup those files as well. This helps to ensure if anything ever gets whipped you can just restore the setting you backed up. There are some great tutorial videos on YouTube for beginners using Alfa by the way I’d check them out if you are uncomfortable.

Thanks for the info, I watched a few videos on backing everything up on Google drive and will definitely do that. Thanks

you can also just take a picture of the setting you're about to change, so you know what to change it back to in the event it does something weird.
