AlfaOBD

OK so not sure how this is possible but it's true. I changed tire size yesterday from my Pirelli All-terrain Plus 275/60R20 (33") to BFG KO2 275/65R20 (34") due to needing higher load capacity for towing. I read the instructions on changing tire size in Alfa and it's pretty straight forward so i got my tape measure, level, MX and Alfa ready and went to it.

Now before the tires were installed they rolled one next to the Pirelli's and yes they were visibly about an inch taller. I placed the level on top dead center tire and measured the tire height at about 33.2" with 45 PSI inflation. What? Not even close to 34"! Yet they are visibly taller than were the other tires. Double checked the specs and they are 34" Now i knew this going in but wth? So with the wife in tow we got on the freeway and i had her fire up phone GPS and we checked speeds. At 65 on the speedo her GPS said 65! WTH! I don't get it. Because i'm **** i'm checking again today smh.

In a previous life I was a Jeeper and did tire size changes through about 5 times (on 2 Jeeps). The difference in "size" and what it really is would not even win a horseshoe match.

The best way I found to get the right size was to get a speed reading from a GPS (stand-a-lone or phone) and keep changing the settings until the trucks speedo and the GPS indicated speed is the same.

A little walk through of how to program FOBIKs

First turn you truck on to accessory.(I always do this to connect to the RF Hub)


Select Radio frequency hub(RFH)
In the drop down select Radio frequency hub(this is the only option to select here)


Connect to the RF Hub


Once you’re connected. Locate the Car with the hood up on the bottom right hand corner. Click on it


Click on the drop down menu. Almost all the way at the bottom select - Program Ignition FOBIKs Baseline system

At this point turn your key to the Lock Position(turn the truck off) and remove the key from the ignition


Place the FOBIK(Key) you’re wanting to program in the ignition and leave it in the off position

Enter you 4 digit pin provided by your local dealership


Click Start. Your screen should look something like this!


Once the process is complete you will see Procesure complete in blue. Please note the above dialogue box will say “FOBIK successfully paired” I think lol

If a key is already Paired to your truck. You will get the Failure error. “Failure FOBIK already learned”

Now start you truck up to make sure it was successfully paired!

Can this be done if you only have 1 key fobik and you’re trying to program a second?

Installed Trail Ridge tow mirrors from 1aAuto and now my adjustments are off when the mirrors are folded up. Anyone know if you can change it in alphaobd so when they are folded up the mirror adjustments are correct?

Yes it can be done with the Alfa under the doors section.

Just downloaded version 2.1.9.2. Main reason was to program a key fob. While going though all te steps as described in earlier posts I get the following result: fobiks baseline system failure ignition not in off/lock
This is with the new to be programmed key in ignition in off position.
Any pointers on what may be the cause?

New to the Alfaobd game. I downloaded it, connected to the truck to activate my brake controller. When I go into Body Computer ->car configuration change ->custmenu. I do not see any custom menus for the truck at all.

I just downloaded the full 2.1.9.2 version on my galaxy s9.

Changing the target voltage doesn’t turn off the PWM. It just changes the duty cycle of the PWM. Setting VehConfig 3 High intensity discharge headlamps to yes will disable PWM on the low beam circuits.

Its the voltage regulation. The target voltage is the ramp up for approach to vehicle. Regardless. If you trying to install nothing but the ballasts and bulbs those set values made my error messages work when they should. But just for giggles, im going to go turn off the HID enable and see what goes down. I have to swap headlight housings soon so while I'm in there I will stick 1 meter on the high beam and one meter on the low beam and real time test it. Seems that most are getting the desired results one way or another, but this has got my ADHD brain spinning. Ill report back when the correct headlights show up

Ok I’ve searched for hours now...has anybody successfully gotten the 32 gallon tank settings to hold? On my 2014 as soon as I change the value for fuel gauge 1 full off of 91% it reverts right back

I was going to ask the same thing. I can not get it to stick. 2015 RAM

check out YouTube. There is a video to show how to do the brake controller. I believe there are 4 different settings to activate. Worked for me.

Credit is due to all who has done write-ups previously

I know that there are a few step by step instructions on how to add some features. Some are fairly detailed and some I felt could use some help. So I tried to do as detailed write-ups w/pic's for the one's I've used. If there is something that could be added feel free to message me and I'll add/change it. I will try and continue to add more as time allows and as I gain more information and tweak things as I add parts to my truck.

Having a tough time with fuel tank swap from 26 to the 32 gallon. The 98% does not stick it stays at 91% and the write up shows 16% on the header for the 32 gallon tank but in the screenshot it says to change to 5%. Confused on that one. Do you know if the 32 gallon tank should be 16% or 5%/ Thanks for your help!

I’m having a issue with getting changes to stick. I had a tail light go out so I installed LED bulbs but was getting left/right turn signal bulb out message. So after reading about the AloaOBD I bought the OBDLink MX and Alpaobd for windows.
Got everything working changed brake,tail, turn lights to LED=yes.
Message says it was complete I disconnected let truck set for a while 1-3 hours. Ran to the store and turn signal R,L bulb message came on when I started the truck.
So when I got home I reconnected to truck it shows as LED are set to yes. So I disconnected went inside for a while 20-30 min desided to see is it was still showing message but now all good no message.
So I call it a night and left for work yesterday and the bulb out message was back. While at lunch I connected to truck found led still show as YES. Went back to work but when I left to go home 3-4 he later the message never came back on. But this morning I have the bulb out message again. Is there something I’m doing wrong or not doing?

2014 Ram 3500 Tradesmen only added RA3 other wise it’s the was it came from Ram

Check you 3rd brake light.

Anyone experienced an issue where the AlfaOBD android app refuses to save the proper System ID / System Status Log? I can Read the System ID / System Status in the app and it's correct, but when i go to save the file to my drive, i keep getting a log from February 28th for a truck I never scanned. I tried clearing the app cache and user data, no dice, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, still keeps uploading the same incorrect log from a 2016 Laramie to my drive.

My Problem is those options are not even available to select thru. I know which 4 I have to turn on but when I look thru the Car Change Configuration options the custsetmenus are not there.

 

[HarvNC1]

The issue I am having is that the custsetmenu options are not visibile in the AlfaOBD app. Once I get into Car Configuration Change there is no custsetmenu options to select from. I know which 4 I need to activate but cannot find them.

 

[Shugarrckbx]

Is there any list of all possible changes under car reconfiguration? I mean once in that area the list is long...

Sadly there is not. You really have to know what you are looking for and then hope you catch it scrolling through the list the first time.

I can't tell you how many times I have been stuck looking for options only to scroll right by multiple times.

I turned mine on pretty sure I only did the 3 anything that says trailer and mine works. I have only used it once and the trailer was junk but when I tested the gain i did feel it not much but I’m thinking it was trailer being a pile of junk
