Fairly new here, so I apologize if this post is not where, how, or the way it should be posted.
This is my 4th Ram;
1st 2002 SLT w/360 magnum (bullet proof) except for the plastic dashboard and defrost covering defect.
2nd 2011 Larmie w/hemi 5.7 4x4 (cant say anything bad about this truck.
3rd 2015 Longhorn w/hemi 5.7 Ram box bed setup, also great truck except for the defective ABS module going out on me 3 times.
4th 2023 Larmie w/hemi etorque, most luxurious, most smooth ride, most silent cabin, most convenience tech features, largest interior crew cab ever, but I am frustrated with the OBDII security gateway access. The truck has no issues, 27K miles, no codes, no lights, drives and performs like a dream. I just want to be ready and capable for the inevitable, and be able to activate some features.
I own just about every tool that exist for car repairs and maintenance. I had just recently upgraded my Autel scanner to the MaxiSys MS906 Pro. I had it updated up til July 2025. So, I'm thinking I can take care of all my family's cars even if my subscription expires, like I have been doing for the past 15 years, WRONG!
It will scan my son's 2022 Honda accord, it will scan my wife's 2021 Buick Enclave, it will scan my daughters 2015 Cadilac SRX, and of course it will scan my 2001 Ford Econoline E250 cardo van, but it won't scan my NEW 5th GEN RAM, unbelievable!
I had the OBDII setup from Alpha for my 2015 Ram, it was the MX module, but it worked awesome. I was hoping it would help with this RAM, no luck. So, I purchased the MX+, downloaded the newest Alpha OBDII software, bought the bypass cable, and have had no luck communicating with my NEW truck or being able to scan all the modules or making any changes in the BCM. My Autel, using the bypass cable does not communicate with the modules either, gives an error message and says I need to re-activate my yearly subscription.
What am I doing wrong, please HELP. I'm on the second bypass cable, is there a specific cable only that works? Does the bypass cable only work for Alpha or will it work for my Autel also?
Thanks Serg
