It's Sunday in Wisco, so

It is probably more of a case that the uConnect version will differ, and is "less" maintained or not at all.The Drive Mode's don't work, just there for visual effect I guess is the best way to put it. Same for Launch Control (obvs)
The dials and charts work on the Performance Page but it is rather annoying that it's the only page that doesn't load.
Although I can't think of any specifics off the top of my head, I get the impression from reading the forums over the past few months that my configuration and things that I can and cannot do in AlfoOBD (as well as Jscan) may differ to you guys with mine being in the UK.
I had a 2016 RAM Big Horn that didn't come with the trailer control towing system. I bought all the components and installed but of course they didn't work, I had to buy the AlphaOBD software and the OBD reader. I was able to go in and change the 3 settings required and the system worked fine thereafter. Kinda sucked to have to shell out the money but I found that I was able to do other things too like turning off the seatbelt not engaged ding.Has anyone used Alphaobd to customize the software on your Ram? Does it work with on 2019 trucks? I’m hesitant to pay $130 for my dealer to add the sales code for the factory trailer brake controller that I installed myself. Could this be an option?

Might have better luck on the HDRams group. This is for 5th gen 1500s. The settings are different between the two.I have a 2022 2500 Tradesman. I recently went from the 5” to the 8.4” radio i bought used. I installed it and now my backup camera gridlines are gone and the setting check mark disappears after a few seconds. I have alpha and am new to this. I enabled the gridlines using alpha but no change. Can someone help and walk me thru how to fix this issue?
If you never saved a back up file to your phone or computer before you made any changes then there isn't one for you to "find" or go back to. If you did create a backup file, then alfaObd will find it when you select option to restore from backup.I'm looking to find the locations and the file names of the log files and backup files that AlphaOBD creates when it is run on an Android device. I have seen some of this info mentioned in various answers to questions in forum messages on the RAM related sites that I frequent - but am unable to come up with them in search results. It seems that there are some files that are created automatically and some that require manually saving to a location such as a local drive or Google Drive. Furthermore, some are plain text type log files and others are non-ascii machine language types intended to be loaded to the device (BCM). I'd like to locate my first log file and either upload to the BCM or read it and manually make changes to affected sub-systems to go back to the original settings - I just can't seem to find them. Thanks in advance!
I believe I have, but what is the name of the file? I don't want to try to write some random file to the BCM. It would also be nice to know the filenames of those that are associated with ALPHA OBD.If you never saved a back up file to your phone or computer before you made any changes then there isn't one for you to "find" or go back to.

If you want auto fold mirrors and window up/down with fob you need a TazerDT, which can also program your trailer brake controller.old man here. just traded my 4th gen in for a 22 limited. i just finished adding the tow brake control but need it programmed. I was thinking about getting the alpha obd to do it. because I also want to add the acc in the future. and maybe a couple other things like automatic mirror fold with door lock if possible and fob window down if that's even a thing. mechanically i can do pretty much anything, but this thread is terrifying me about attempting using alpha obd. i keep seeing alot of issues on this thread and other threads. like the acc thread. do you have to be a computer genius to use this? i keep seeing something about saving old data before changing specs. i'm just afraid of screwing my truck up. and not sure what i need to use. i know i need to download the software. but is my android ideal? or should i use my laptop? is the mx+ worth 250% more money than the mc+. i know some are going to say if im scared, don't do it. but i'm just asking for honest opinions. android or computer? mx+ or mc+ or something else? the security bypass is a gimme. i'm just new at this and kind of nervous about screwing something up. are there tutorials/walkthroughs for each individual alpha program action online somewhere? sorry for the vent. just want to be informed as much as i can.
can you do the acc with it also?If you want auto fold mirrors and window up/down with fob you need a TazerDT, which can also program your trailer brake controller.
No, the TazerDT doesn't have that function, but alfaObd can't do the auto fold mirrors and windows with dog.can you do the acc with it also?
