How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

[kraz]

Question:
If we install the new lights using your harness and update the settings in AlfaOBD, will the lights function properly until we are able to visit the dealer for the proxy alignment?
I understand there may be multiple warning lights on the dashboard during that time. I just want to make sure they’ll at least function until I can get to the dealer, just in case.

Yes, they’ll function correctly before proxy alignment.

This is great but a little beyond my capabilities. I'll have to wait for the simplified version to come out.

@Jimmy07 is it possible to retrofit the prior LED tail lamps? the ones that had amber turn signals.

 

[Jimmy07]

I’m hoping so. I intend to find out, because all of the 2025+ tail lights are ugly.

Just realized this will be a bit tricky. The 2025’s use combined rear lighting (one circuit for brake and turn lamps). The pre-2025 tails use separate circuits for turn and brake lamps.
I’ll have to grab the turn signal circuits from the trailer plug, and also build some type of switchback module so the brake light drops out when the turn signal is being used, all while making sure the BCM thinks brake/turn signal circuit is being used normally.
It’s possible that the trailer tow module will think a trailer is connected, and pop up the trailer blind spot selection, so I’ll have to see if that happens and what to do about it.

@turbom5 had info that witech released an update that would make the aftermarket pass through devices work again, and asked me to try.
I can confirm that we can connect to witech and do a proxy alignment using the RLINK j2534 X7. You need a one month VIN subscription, and a 3 day tech authority subscription to be able to do this (more info on that in post #5).

A few years ago, I bought this OBDII ELM interface (see photo) for my Yamaha yz450.
I always used it only to see errors and now I'd like to see errors of my RAM Rebel X my2025, but after connecting with my smartphone and the OBD app, the program's response is "vehicle NOT connected".

Perhaps the OBD socket of the RAM my2025 is protected by Stellantis ?
Thanks

Good afternoon @Jimmy07. Thank you for the great write up. I have a 2025 Big Horn RWD with the 8.4 radio. I have used Witech 2.0 VIN monthly subscription with the 3 day techauthority along with the Topdon Rlink J2534 without issues.

I will try Alfaobd tomorrow when I get the OBD2 Splitter I just ordered. I also have an Otofix IM1 Scanner (essentially an Autel) that I will use to test if it can keep Secure Gateway open thru Autoauth.

I have a question Jimmy07, when doing the Proxy Config. Alignment is there any specific ECUs I need to select? I saw the screenshots and it looks like on one screen you selected DDM and in the next DTCM.

Thank you!

These are the ECUs my BigHorn Trim has:

That might have just been how I had the mouse hovering when I took the screenshot.
Don’t select any modules. Just go to guided diagnostics, proxy configuration alignment, and keep selecting continue, following the instructions along the way. It will ultimately automatically align every module that needs it.

@Jimmy07
I gotta say what a work you did ! KUDOS to you!

So I have a question to you, I have 2025 1500 Limited Longhhorn with 3.0 SST RHO. I purchased a milage limiter that plugs into cluster and stops milage counting. Is there any way right now to EDIT engine hours on this car?
