AlfaOBD

[mike19950]

Android Auto requires Android 5.0 and up with a data plan (6.0 is recommended) to run on your device. Alfa probably wont display on the uaq. the developer has to include that capability in the app.

I really only want Waze on my UAQ. I would hotspot to my iPhone like I usually do.

Thanks for the reply’s guys

I got them to show up on the 8.4 radio screen if you go through the Settings Menu, not in the EVIC. Still trying to get all 5 to show, my truck seems to like long naps before a change pushes through.

How do you see them on settings? I can only find them in evic

Anyone able to diagnose why DRL wont dim down with voltage set to low?

What are you using for DRL's? I use high beams with stock bulbs at reduced voltage and they are dimmed. LED's might not dim???

I believe it depends on the year of your truck. It is either in the EVIC or 8.4 screen. I do not have them in my EVIC at all.

Wish they let you choose.

I am looking to buy a nAndroid phone/tablet for AlfaOBD as it seems that the PC version is much less convenient etc...

What would be cheapest Android device that would work with AlfaOBD?

You can use an amazon fire tablet once you download the play store app.

I bought a used 3G Moto G for $20. Works just fine. I don't have a phone contract for it. I only use it for WiFi internet when traveling or for the app. Maybe once a year I activate it for a month during the summer. Otherwise my wife and I share a smartphone to save money.

Just installed my bypass cable and adjusted my TPMS Threashold finally the light is off!!!

Excited to see what else I can do. Before I do I'm having trouble linking to my google drive. I go into the tools menu and pick link it brings up a screen that says select your account or add new. When i try and select my account that is listed all it does is flash off and pop back up. The whole time at the top of the screen it says unlinked to google acount in the white box. I've looked at my drive settings and searched the web to find nothing. I apologize guys if this has been covered or is a stupid question but I'm all thumbs when it comes to this tech stuff. Navigating this forum is a huge step for me lol...
Any advice would be great.

Got my DRL's working today, also have my Fog lights on with high beams and changed my radio to SRT.

I agree, depends on the year. On my 2014 1500 w/premium cluster and 8.4, the Aux menus do not show up at all. I have added the switches and relays to the truck and used Alpha to add the options in the BCM however nothing shows in the cluster nor on the 8.4. All five do work now but no menu options to change their functionality. For what they are to be used for, I will not need to change them on the fly anyway. If I change what they are needed for I'll just update their function in Alpha. Easy enough I suppose and MUCH better than having no access to them at all as in the years I've owned the truck before Alpha came along.

I was poking around in the radio settings and saw there is an option to change the vin. I have a uconnect 5.0 from a 2017 in my 2014. When I read the log on alfa of the radio it shows the vin from the original truck still. Would changing the vin to my truck cause any issues? Im curious because Ive had some strange radio issues recently and thought maybe this might help.

So far I have:

1. Enabled LED for license plate bulbs (can see via backup cam they're not cycling anymore)
2. Enabled LED for fog lights bulbs (can see via phone photo sensor / camera they're not cycling anymore)
3. Enabled DRL and set to USE LED turn signals (factory projectors -- very bright)
4. Set my tire thresholds to 35 PSI (down from 80 / 60 from the factory on my 2017 2500) as I like to run around 45 PSI
5. Disabled FOG LIGHT DROPOFF so they stay on with high beams

Still searching for more things to tweak. This is quite awesome.

I was asked by a friend if either of these were possible:

1. Set it so when holding down unlock on FOB, the windows will go down all the way
2. Set it so backup lights will illuminate upon unlocking the doors

I didn't see anything I could change to do either.

Somewhere in this thread shows how to program the windows to go down. I believe it's called global down. There is a setting to have them go up also but I don't believe anyone has figured it out yet. I haven't seen anyone post anything about having the backup lights come on when unlocking.

This is interesting. It could be useful to have the exact VIN to check for Uconnect updates for those that have swapped the head unit.

Unfortunately the global up doesn't work on the 13 and up Rams. The global down should work. After you set the code and let the truck sleep through a cycle or two push unlock and release on the fob and then push unlock and hold the button. After a few seconds the driver and passenger front windows will roll down. They will stop as soon as you let go of the button.

It's been pretty well concluded by multiple testers that autofold is not possible on our trucks, at least not without 3rd party hardware. One of the new Tazer products claims to do it, but you have to leave the device plugged into your OBD port all of the time for it to work. (And it's expensive!)

Interesting.

They state to have Auto Up for the windows working
As well as in motion nave entry

Some other cool stuff as well.

What was the setting to illuminate the backup lights on unlock?
