AlfaOBD

[RJNavarrete]

honestly my $90 obdlinkmx isn't any faster or better than a $11 chinese elm327 off amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HXGX8V6 I have that one).
Same speeds, same work done. easier pairing.

Folks, if I get this above and AlphaOBD on my phone, what else would I need to start making changes?

You need a security bypass as well:

2018+ FCA Security Gateway Module Bypass Module

Beginning with model years 2018 and above Chrysler – Dodge- Jeep – RAM – Fiat vehicles are equipped with a new device called a security gateway module. The purpose of this module is to prevent CAN bus hacking over the 3G or LTE network. Infotainment.com alongside OBD Genie temporarily utilizes...

Thanks! I'll test it out tonight then and make sure I can connect!

Did it work ?>

I was not able to get it to connect via PC yet. I didn't play with it much though.

Since the dealer is useless in enabling the tailgate ajar warning on my truck I am looking into purchasing AlfaOBD to do it myself. Does anyone in Canada have a recommendation for the bypass module/cable and Bluetooth adapter for an android device?

I would also like to know which bluetooth adapter for laptop works. I do not have any android device.

The OBDLink MX+ and a Windows version of AlphaOBD. If the (Windows) laptop has BT or you add a BT dongle, it will work.

Any warning light we can turn on dashboard for rambox? I had something stuck and it didn’t close. I realize when I got on Highway it popped up. It would be great to get a alert on dashboard that box is open.

Does anyone know if you need to change the combo rear brake light and cargo lamp to LED when installing them? Or will they work?

You don’t have to, but it will certainly help, because that setting disables the PWM. Most LED replacements come built to overcome PWM, but if you get a set that has separate resistors or “error canceller” boxes, they won’t be needed with this setting enabled.

I just got the bypass and obd module today. Changed my tire size to fix the speedo. I also want to set the DRL to be the park lamp/turn signal. This is the settings I changed, not sure if its right. It didn't change ot on the truck. The next setting down was DRL dropout, and have no idea what that is.

In reference above, my turn signals have switchback bulbs. White, then amber when flashing. Setting them as drl had them on, but lit up in amber instead of white.

This is because the DRL location being used is the turn signal circuit, so the amber part of the bulb will be illuminated for DRLs. There is no such setting to make the park lamp circuit the DRL location. The only way to make those switchback bulbs use the white as DRL is to use the dedicated DRL wires and run them to the switchback bulb’s parking lamp circuit with diodes.
DRL dropout is when the DRL shuts off on the side of the vehicle when that turn signal is being used.

Makes sense. It's not worth the trouble doing all that, I thought it'd look cool though.

Does anyone know if the alpha OBD or any of these programmer deals can turn on the factory alarm? I've been told that they can I've also been told that the dealer can turn it on but they usually will not? Not really interested in this programmer for anything except turn on the factory alarm if it's there? I do not plan to modify this truck at all it's a 2020 Rebel 5.7 e torque quad cab

Thanks !d

Yes, it can be turned on with AlfaOBD.

Can the tazer dt also be used as a bypass?

yes it can. I just use mine as a bypass last week. but unmarry it from the truck before you use it as a by pass. per Z Automotive. I can send the email where i asked them the same question 2 weeks ago.

Looking at doing the following adjustments with AlphaOBD and curious if they are doable.

Did we figure out if we can setup auto-fold mirrors on exit/entry?
Turn off Seat Belt Warning
Keep Fog lights on all times
Anything special with adjusting tire sizes?
