Alpha OBD 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn

[mahnkal]

Hello All, new to the forum, and I have been searching quite a bit, and still have questions. My main Goal is to add passive entry. I believe I narrowed it down to needing ALPHA OBD (JSCAN doesn't work from what im reading), that being said, I am struggling to figure out exactly what I need to run the program. I am looking at buying the cheapest tablet I can off amazon, the correct OBD wire, and possibly a bypass?

If anyone would be able to point me in the right direction, or link a cheap Tabley, OBD wire, and if I need a bypass, the link to that as well.

What im looking at now is:

WXUNJA 10 inch Tablet Android 13 Tablets, 8GB 64GB Processor 6000mAh Battery, (not sure if it will work cause it doesn't have USB A.​

OBDLINK EX​

and
Kaodtech security module bypass.

Also, im looking at the NisMopar

Appreciate everything in advance!

If you are an iPhone user, Jscan will work for adding passive entry. Then, you don’t need to buy a tablet.
Get this OBD interface:
Vgate vLinker MC+ Bluetooth OBD2 Car Diagnostic Scan Tool for iOS, Android & Windows https://a.co/d/bq8E9Dh

And this bypass:
OBD2 Cable Adaptor for Chrysler 12+8 Programming Cable Connector for Autel DS808 Maxisys for Autel MS905 MS906 MS906BT MS906S MS908 MS908S Pro Maxisys Elite https://a.co/d/10hfNsu

If you want to save quite a bit of money instead of using Nismopar, use the thread linked below to source the parts cheaper yourself, and message me about the set of wiring harnesses you need.

Adding Passive Entry: How-to

If you've seen the original thread on adding passive entry, HERE, you are likely well aware of the issues with getting it to work on the newer trucks that didn’t come with it from the factory. This thread will walk you through getting it to work on the 5th gen DT’s (and the HD trucks) just as it...

Jimmy, Thank you a ton for your reply! I was gonna have my mechanic install the door handles and wiring harness, I can do it, but those clips drive me bonkers! so I figured it would be easier to buy it all in one!

As for the Jscan vs Alpha OBD, what is the major things I would miss out on, I might want to add auto sense high beams and rain down the road.

Thank you!!!!

There’s not much difference between Jscan and AlfaOBD anymore, the developer keeps updating to add things for the rams. It can do auto high beams and rain sensing wipers.
