I have the koadtech adapter. Stays installed all the time. Expensive compared to the Amazon one the other guys linked. Not sure there's any real advantage to it.

I had it leftover from my 4th Gen truck. Back before the bypass was so cheap to find.

On the 5th gen ram the koadtech may not be an advantage because the secure gateway is so easy to access, but on other vehicles the gateway is more difficult to access then the can bus connectors so I can see the advantages of it on those vehicles for sure

Mine stays plugged in too. Just tucked away

Just a reminder if anyone has Tazer installed it also acts as bypass.

what are you all using for the OBD cable. I have an OBDLink EX from my 150 using Forscan, however it is not recognizing it. I am connecting to a Samsung galaxy tab with the usb c port..

Seems like the OBDLink EX USB is compatible with alpha according to their site, although that might just be for windows. Not sure about Galaxy. Do you the SGW bypass cable installed?

I thought so too. Yes have the bypass cable plugged in, OBDlink plugged into bypass and tried it on windows and android. Both say no device connected. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or not. Forscan was a lot easier, at least so far it is

Not sure. I’ve only ever used jscan since I’m on Apple, so I have to use Bluetooth. Hopefully someone can help

I am assuming jscan lets you make changes as well. folding mirror on lock, tire size, etc???

It most of what alpha obd does. Not sure about folding mirrors on lock. That might be a tazer thing.

So far I’ve updated tire size, disabled fog light drop out with high beams, and changed my DRL location from the low beams to the turn signals.

Folding mirror on lock is only available with TAZER.

If you want to do more troubleshooting then alpha or jscan is better, but tazer can do more cool stuff
