AlfaOBD

[ram1500L]

what am I doing wrong? It connected but I do not see option on bottom right in software.

I did a write up on another post. You need to click on active diagnostics.

I purchased Windows version alfaobd.
Any you folks have trouble with windows version of alfaobd software.
I'm using koabtech SBC. MX, ob2 module.
Bluetooth, connect identify vehicle, click "body control", 2019 year. It says connected. Nothing happens does not reveal where you click the car and go to the area to connect/start setting change.
I may pay for Android just because it completes the above issue in demo mode.

Today I tried to tweak (again) my tire size a little, trying to dial it in.

Now I have a C2212 ECU in Plant Mode and C006A Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor Missing calibration that will not clear.

Doing the same as always, Static ECU init, but the option to clear Rolling Codes is missing form the drop down on both windows 2.2.2.0 and android 2.1.9.3 versions.

AlfaOBD doesn't want to connect to my engine ECU which keeps popping a U0415 Network code (I have to use Torque to see/clear this).

I pulled the ABS pump fuse, no change. Battery disconnect?

I've done this many times and never had an issue. Any suggestions?

Yes. Search my answers for windows in the other post.

NM, got it.

Latest version update broke something. I had to go advanced mode (Windows only) and force it to 2013-2018 (2020 3500), then run all the steps and it cleared.

I never could get windows version to work and the formatting was to left of screen. Made for missing characters.
So I bought android app. It worked perfectly. Tire size changed to 2573mm which measured from a two foot level on top of tire to ground. Measured 32.250 inches. (MFG specs were 33 inches) Speedometer Mph is exact on. Changed Fog light drop out.

I Changed Fog light drop out.

What is this? I’ve seen people mention it but don’t get it.

The fog lights normally drop out (turn off) when you turn on the high beams. This is based on using your high beams already are at about the max light output allowed by vehicle code.

The setting comes enabled, but if you go into the BCM and disable that option your fog lights will stay on with your high beams.

I'm not sure about the halogens but my OEM LED fog lights have a very low cutoff and are more of a light supplement below the headlight range.

Driving at night. Can't have enough light. These adjustments only DOT legal output in MD.

okay CD player and RAM Qi charger installed. ALfaOBD was required. but it was simple, showed up after the "key Cycle", all was good. Qi changer works great, added Airplay 2 usb module so I no longer have to connect the cell via usb to charge or play on the radio! win!

Question, I have been looking and watching closely but is there a way to change the drive hours? I have "upgraded my instrument cluster and the mileage changed fine but i am not seeing an option to change the drive hours. Even if i go to the previous generation, where i know you can, i have seen it and done it for a neighbor, i can't seem to find that specific menu option for the 2020. I am actively keeping up with drive hours so I know what they should be at such time as I have a fix, but the truck is going in for Recall fixes Friday and would like to try and get that fixed before the dealer see it and looses their sh*t.

I have short list of items i need to work out before they get the vehicle back.

Just to be clear AlfaOBD is not needed for the Ram wireless charger.

I would contact Alexey, the developer ([email protected]), and ask him to work on adding it. So, you ARE able to correct the mileage for sure on the 5th gen premium clusters now with AlfaOBD?
Don’t worry about the hours for a dealer visit. All they care about is the mileage, and they wouldn’t even give a second thought about hours. It’s known that the hours aren’t even kept accurately anyway, and they sometimes jump around.

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 bought this SGW bypass from amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/AUGOCOM-Unive...83XB5AM9P59A&refRID=DQZR8A2083XB5AM9P59A&th=1

It's about the cheapest you will find here in Canada but it is a quality cable. So far I used it to change DRL location to turn signals and disabled foglight dropout with high beams. I can't link my OBD2 adapter as it's 6 years old and doesn't seem to be available anymore but I bought it from Amazon for around $20. If I was ever going to buy a new OBD2 scanner it would most definitely be this one:

[Shives]

Looks like that’s the best one to get! If I would do it again, or if I can sell mine, I’ll upgrade

 

[vincentw56]

That's the exact same one I have. Works perfectly.

I did! Using the 4th gen net. I tried the 19 net and the 20 net but was able to using the *-18 net. It took a couple tries but rolled the mileage right where it was programmed.
Thanks for the heads up I will drop Alexey a line to see if it in on the list yet or not. Appreciate it.

Even when faking the connection as a 2018, the hours change setting won’t show up?

Yes it shows up, but always gives a error or says it did not complete the cycle and doesn't change anything. App seems to lock up for second and then flips to the unsuccessful screen. I tried multiple times thinking, like a couple videos I watched on it, that unsuccessful report doesn't necessarily mean it didn't work. Well, it just didn't work. Wish I had thought to take some pictures.
Guessing thinking isn't my strong suite here...
