Hey can I get a link to the installation instructions please?

It should be a link in the email saying that you paid. If not I can get it for you

The directions are not posted online to make it harder for others to copy the directions/sell the harness outside of those that purchase it (happened a few times to us).

As 1500ram12 indicated, If you bought the harness from DeereGuy, then the directions should be linked in the email he sent you.
(I don't have access to his customer list)

Received my security bypass harness today. I don’t see a link for installation instructions. If anyone has a link I would appreciate it.

So let me get this straight. If you have a 2018 Ram of any model, you need one of these harnesses to allow the AlfaODB to work? I have a 2018 2500 with a bluedriver reader and it doesn't list my truck in the available vehicle options. Reader works fine as it says its all linked up and recognizes it so I think I'm good in that aspect, just can't see my truck listed!!

Thanks in advance!!

The 17 and 18 are the same it is just you need the harness to be able to write. You can read without the harness.

Do you know if I would still need to buy the security gateway module in order for this to work on the 2018's?
Also, I have an elm327 USB reader that worked on my 2016 f-150. Do you think it would work on the Ram or is there a preferred unit maybe?
Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by "buy a security gateway module" since there is already one in all 2018 trucks. The OBD Bypass harness plugs in and connects to the truck without going through the security module. If you want to use the Bypass harness to make changes to your truck via AlfaOBD then I recommend you get the recommended OBDLink MX BT as listed in the OP of the Alfa thread to avoid issues with using knock off/non verified ELM adapters. Spend the $80 on the MX and get peace of mind that it will work.
