Is there a way to enable this in Alfaobd?

No

Man, I thought I was the tech junkie. Who the heck uses a phone app for their vehicle?
My Key fob exists for a reason and it does all that stuff.

Coming into the boat launch when it's 105°, it sure was nice remote starting the truck from a mile or so out so it was cooling off when the wife got into it after a long walk up the hill.

On a busy lake, we often have to park too far away for the remote start to be useful in that case.

IOW, Judge not lest ye be judged,

The only reason that it would make sense to pay that money to me is to be able to disable the vehicle if stolen or locate it on a map, otherwise I use my keyfob to remote start, never even considered using the app. I will pass when mine expires.
I was just reading about how BMW and a few others are now starting to roll out needing to buy a subscription and pay to use included features like heated seats... That is some BS right there, charging you for heated seat option then making you pay to use it? Crazy, I would never buy a car that was made by a company that greedy.

Are you accessing this info thru . . ?


If so, what's it showing on the SERVICES tab?
that screen shot above is from the link you posted
I know what I am doing

services tab is not clickable

phone app on states
"The activation of the services on your vehicle is in progress.
Please try to access your services later"

maybe this will help

Haven't seen that one yet, but it perhaps might be a new thing with a 22 model year, as this is the first year that the service has been managed off connect.ramtrucks.com, and the app had to be downloaded again.

That is very obnoxious. A single message asking you one time is OK. Asking every time you start the truck is just nagging. Seems like marketeers are always finding new ways to destroy customer goodwill.
The Titan and the Frontier have a screen on startup about Data Collection in a Connected Car. Have to click it to get it to go away.

Yup. I'm sure their hope is to annoy you to the point you re-subscribe.

Just got my email stating my trial (apparently 6 mos) is ending and to subscribe is $24.98/mo or $274.78/yr. Wooo. For a ‘22 Limited. That’s an insanely steep price for what the service does.

Just wait a couple of months after the trial expires. You will be flooded with cheaper offers.....
