It's been a while since I've been in the App and it's clearly changed. I'm taking my truck to the dealer tomorrow for a recall, and I'd rather not have the SRT screen displayed when they start the truck. Where do I need to go to remove it? I see the instructions on HOW to change it, but I can't figure out where I need to go to change it.

Thanks!

Maybe I got my results mixed up? I was going through so many control unit lists to figure out what could be used maybe I got it wrong.

But like you said it seems that 44-45 is the same as 44-46 with synchro, which IS a choice in the 2013 BCM.

The DOrman replacement motor part is also listed as working for the 44-46 case in other applications, so Im guessing thats a setting that should work.

EDIT: yes, I had it backwards. The multiple option value is on the newer BCM, but in that option is the 44-46 with Synchro. A single value option in the 2013 is also 44-46 with Synchro, so my logic says that will be the one to try. Or it may all be a moot point if the options list changes once its connected to the truck.

I emailed Jeremy this morning he said drls can't be set to turn signal that will actually burn the switch backs because the amber turn signals on the switchbacks run higher voltage and weren't ment to be on all the time. He also said they never have this issue with trucks that have there drls turned on at the dealer which leads me to believe we don't have the procedure down quite right. I'm going to play around with it today because we should be able to replicate what it is the deal is doing for drls
Did your truck come with projectors? I stumbled on this post by 00R/T.

So after talking to Jeremy i got it figured and i think the procedure needs to be changed or people will end up with burnt out turn signals.
My truck had the factory projector headlights which the retro store put led switch back board in.
When you enable DRLs using the procedure we have now what you are actually doing is turning on the turn signal for DRL at full 12volts which is way brighter then what drl should be and then when you turn on you blinker it drops out the DRL and turns on the blinker. Those amber leds are not meant to be on at full power all the time, DRL voltage should be 6.2 volts or little more. The trucks with factory projector headlights have a separate wire that provides low voltage for DRLS
So if you have Factory Projector headlight here is how you should be turning on your DRL so you don't do any harm to your lights.

Correct, that separate wire is the dedicated wire. (I think)

I've checked my DRL voltages before because this has been touched on a little bit before. Mine are actually outputting 7.4v.

I'd be interested to see the BCM output of a Canadian truck with factory projectors and a US truck with factory projectors & dealer activated DRLs to see how they compare with this.

因为我正在通过翻译查看论坛,所以有许多专业单词被错误地翻译而无法理解。所以我想问你一些小问题。
1.Alfaobd android和obdlink sx完美搭配?在中国的obdlink mx售价约为300美元。。。
2.如果我将来更换Android设备,我可以迁移吗?
3.阿尔法可以提升最高限速吗?(在合法的道路上)
4.什么设置需要修改才能固定?我的国家没有普通经销商,没有保修,所以我买不到针。
很抱歉有很多问题。我查看了超过三百页的内容。(由Google翻译,如果出现语法错误,请原谅)​

That is correct for 2018 models the bed light switch runs back to the bcm. I doubt previous year models bcms would respond to that circuit, but who knows until someone tries it.

The way it is wired I'm just wondering if I wired the violet wire to 12v power would it feed back to the BCM. The light work when the doors open and with the cargo switch on the headlight switch. May be better off leaving it alone or have the sales code added by the dealer but guess then I would have to go back in and redo what I have done with the alfaOBD.

So Im still confused, do we need to change the DRL process to Zee Ahmeds way?

For those with the oem projectors from the factory - not added on?

Also this thread is on track to be pg400 before new years

I simply don’t know enough on the subject. I guess I would say if you have everything in place and would like your DRL’s to be as factory then sure.

I’m not sure what voltages the dynamic diode or factory boards can take but unless Alfa is reporting wrong, mine are not taking 12v to the boards.

still have a question. I noticed that the automatic headlights have been turned on very slowly. Is there a way to adjust the delay? Not its sensitivity
As far as I know, there is not a way to adjust the delay or time in which the headlights turn on or off. I for one would like to do this as well.

My registration application has just arrived, I am here. Because I am viewing the forum through translation, there are many professional words that are incorrectly translated and cannot be understood. So I want to ask you some small questions. 1.Alfaobd android and obdlink sx perfect match? The obdlink mx in China is priced at about $300. . . 2. If I change my Android device in the future, can I migrate? 3. Can Alpha increase the maximum speed limit? (on a legal road) 4. What settings need to be modified to fix? I don't have a general dealer in my country, there is no warranty, so I can't buy a needle. Sorry for having a lot of questions. I have reviewed more than three hundred pages of content. (Translated by Google, please forgive if there is a syntax error)
Here is some additional informatin to your questions.

1. The LX and SX units will work fine for Alfa however, it will require an additional blue adapter. So they are not a perfect match.
"LX and SX interfaces additionally require "blue" adapter for access to the middle-speed CAN bus."

"OBDLink MX, LX and SX. OBDLink MX is the recommended interface for the cars with high-speed CAN bus on pins 6 and 14 and the middle-speed CAN bus on the pins 3 and 11 of the OBD plug. These are most of the Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep cars, PowerNet and CUSW-based, Fiat Tipo/Egea. No additional adapters are needed for these cars when using OBDLink MX. Note: Fiat 500X/Jeep Renegade and Compass (MP) require the "grey" adapter for the access to the second high-speed CAN bus.
LX and SX interfaces additionally require "blue" adapter for access to the middle-speed CAN bus.
OBDLink also recommended for the Fiat/Alfa Romeo/Lancia CAN-based cars. The "yellow" adapter might be needed for access to the low-speed CAN bus."

2. The Alfa software is linked to your Google account with Android.

3. While I have seen the max speed setting in Vehicle Config 1 I don't know if it works or if anyone has changed it. The current setting is 255km/h

4. I'm confused...
