AlfaOBD

If/when I do the PR39 update, will I lose changes already made with Alfa in my current version like DRL location, Tire Programing for diameter etc, and have to redo all the changes again, or does it carry over and remain in the new update?
The software update is for the head unit itself, not the BCM, so it has no effect on anything you have currently shanged with alfaOBD
 
How long did it take for them to show up? Been about three hours and not showing on mine yet
I checked after an hour and nothing showed up, so I checked in the morning and they were there. They are under the A-Z apps list.

So far, all of the Off-road Pages are functional. I haven't had too much time to play with the Performance Pages. The torque and horsepower function seems to work on the Performance Dashboard. I don't think the Times Pages work. 90% of the indications on the Gauges Page work. The G's part of the G-Force page does not work. The Dynamic Engine page works. The Vehicle Dynamics page works. The Drive Modes page does not work...it says TRX at the top, so I figured nothing would work. The Race Options page does not work either. I'm not sure if I can gain functionality by enabling more features through AlfaOBD or not.

You can use AlfaOBD to connect to the radio module (2017 navigator module), and run a few ECU resets to force them quicker.

Speaking of resets, I helped a local friend out by changing his tires size today after he installed bigger tires. First time I have used AlfaOBD for this. He has a 2017 Big Horn. Everytime I made a change for circumference the speedometer showed dashes, and get service 4wd, service park sense and a few other errors. Only way I could find to clear and get speedo back was to shut off truck and exit for 5-10 minutes. Is this normal, or was there something else I could have done? Tried doing ECU resets but that didn't help.

With AlfaOBD, after a tire size change, you need to connect to the abs module and run the initialization routine, and clear out faults.

Ahh, okay. Will remember that for next time
 
I just made my second speedo adjustment and didn’t have to go into the ABS module or reset any codes. In fact, if I go into ABS, the initialization option is greyed out.

Maybe it only sets codes if you select a larger than stock circumference? I went from 2448 to 2550 to 2580.

This video helped me a lot, but I learned from Jimmy07 that you do not need to turn on the ignition.

So what happens if you don't change the numbers in the vehicle config menu? The second thing he changed?

Not sure. I don't know enough about AlfaOBD to do anything but follow the script. I tried following written instructions and the changes I made didn't take. I'm a visual learner.
 
Need to update it

Where can I find the update?.. or can someone post it here. Do you have to update to each one and get to the current or can you just go straight to the current?

Check the post higher up. It's there
 
You have to be on the latest update PR 39..
You need to enable them with AlfaOBD
Below gives you the off road pages and performance pages.

VehConfig 1-Performance Pages Present = YES
VehConfig 2-Off-road Capable =YES
VehConfig 5-Off-Road Pages Present =YES
Can I just do the Performance Pages Present and that show up or do I have to do a full monte for it all, in order to get the performance pages? Not really interested in the off-road stuff.

You can just do performance pages, as they pretty much include all the info from off road pages anyway.
