@Ghost_RAM. If you want. Link this in the first couple of posts and as new updates come out. I will continue to add all the APKs Incase any one wants to back up the Alfa version they are running.
Added a link to a new folder/doc in my drive with your post. Then linked that folder to the OP in effort to keep it as short as possible. If you had permissions to keep editing your post this wouldn't be an issue but unfortunately, after a few days it will become locked. Thanks for helping out!!

Yup, true. This is only because a dual truck is programmed specifically for a single bulb that functions as both high and low beam. Once quads are swapped in, and the programming is not corrected for them, the quads will not be operating as designed.
I can confirm this, going from duals to quads, I had to reprogram.

I deleted this. Getting off topic, and want to leave this thread for AlfaOBD info.

Thanks for the info though.

I just threw it on a google drive file so I will be able to continue to update it when needed.

Here’s the link

Does anyone’s version of Alfa have a setting for led front turn signals option?
Mine only has a option for front led parking lamps, but not signals.

I have a 2014 with oem quad headlights, but I removed the oem headlight harnesses and added the oem headlight harness of a RT with projector headlights.
I got everything to work with the Alfa minus the error code for front turn signals out.

I was wondering if the developer can make that an option for the ram????

Your version has turn signals and front parking lamps.

I wonder why mine only has parking lamps.
Do you have windows or android version?

With all the knowledge here I'm hoping someone can help. I have a 2016 RAM 1500 Express with 5.7L Hemi. The OEM radio was the 5.0 Uconnect touchscreen. I have replaced it with one of the Tesla style radios from Phoenix. I have used AlphaOBD to change all kinds of things, DRL, Fog Light Dropout, etc. I upgraded to the 7" evic cluster and added the OEM trailer brake control module. With the addition of the Tesla radio I lost the ability to have access to the trailer tow settings that were available in the 5.0 Uconnect radio. Some 7" evic screens have the "vehicle settings" menu available and these are the ones that came with the OEM RA1 3.0" radio that did not have access to the settings menu in the radio. Hence the availablity of the menu in the evic. Can this settings menu be added/activated in the evic using AlphaOBD? Or by any other means? Or do I have to look for a 7" evic cluster that came from a vehicle that had the RA1 radio originally? Will that even work? Thanks for any hep.

I did that by accident on my RA2 / basic cluster with alphaobd
I believe it was IPC feature config option

Austen,
Awesome!!! The last item was not obvious to me as it wasn't near the other "csm" selections. I've changed all the items as you directed and I have the trailer on my screen and in the little window in the gauge panel. Thank you so much. This saved me a trip to the dealer and the dealer charges to do the same thing. This site and the people such as yourself make it a great place to share information and help people like myself.
Looking over the multitude of selections in AlphaOBD, there are a number of them that indicate my truck has the option but it's not activated. I'm not sure it's telling me the truth but it will be interested to explore some of the options carefully so I don't brick the system.
Just be careful! Thank Ghost Ram and Mpgrimm2 and a couple other guys I'm not sure of their names at the moment I just copied their info that they were so kind to share they are both a huge help! I just try to help because I know I appreciate it when I need something.

When I installed my 7” Evic I thought I was missing the settings menu on my EVIC after changing IPC feature configuration to yes. I now have the settings menu on it.

@Ghost_RAM.
Should probably add this to the know working list. Cause like me I was clueless I was missing this menu until I seen the post above.

I've read that changing the hid setting to hid also actually disables the pmw. I have mine set and am running led's
Did you also set the highs/lows to LED also?

For all you Alfa gurus does anyone know if they are working on a locker bypass for us power wagon folks

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Alfa can only affect settings/options that were present from the factory/FCA - it can't "add" additional features. So unless the locker bypass is a factory option, alfa won't be able to help there.

I want to jump in to getting either the OBDLink MX or the MX+ scantool.

I read better reviews on the MX then the MX+, but I have an iPhone. I also have a spare laptop and an old android tablet so I could go either way. Going to also purchase the Alfa software.

SO... which one is the better OBDLink? MX or MX+

thanks
