Hey guys, I have a 17 ram 1500 sport with factory projector headlamps. I bought morimoto elite 35w (xb35) kits for my lows and fogs. I only hooked up the bulbs, ballasts, and ignitors to the truck. I am not using any relay harness, mopar harness, resistors, or anti flicker modules. I enabled hid headlamps, and led low beams to get the low beams to even turn on. I enabled led fogs to get those to turn on as well. They seem to work best when the engine is running? If I leave ignition in run position and engine off, the fogs will flash on and off on each side. The headlamps do work intermittently as well, sometimes both work fine, and sometimes only one side will come on (alternates sides). Bi xenon is enabled, both led fogs and lows enabled, hid headlamps enabled... I've tried enabling high beam leds as well just for kicks. I read somewhere in this thread that the "target voltage" needs to be set? The only parameter I could find for low beams was "CBC Extern. Light Calibr.: Left (or right) Low Beam Voltage Regulation"... this was set to 14v and I tried changing to 13v? Not seeing much else that would affect them. This is driving me nuts. I am about to rip them out lol
Hi Nick - I had a hard time with my AlphaRex (See my Post "First Mod of Spring") Okay so turn off HID and Bi-Xeon (it Confuses the PWM) if your running LED's on Low Beams, make sure that every where you run LED is set to LED, Change your Low Beam voltage to 14.4v (I used 14.6v 14.4v worked for me but I wanted to be sure) My AlphaRex run the low/high on the same bulb (shutter style) but I think these settings should work for you as well

I'm running HID kits, sorry I should have clarified.

All you should have to enable is VehConfig 3 high intensity discharge lights. And set fogs to led. It's odd that they'd flicker when the vehicle is off but as long as they stay on while the engine is running I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm running morimoto xb55 hid's in my low's with only hid enabled and haven't had a issue for over a year now in my 18

No additional components other than the igniters and ballasts? I'm not sure why this is being such a pain...

Just igniters and ballast. Didn't change voltage. Morimoto seems to be hit or miss. I also bought Innovited 55w hid's. I initially bought just those but wanted to test morimoto's. I didn't have good luck the last time I tried morimoto hid's. But so far so good. I have the Innovited hid's as spares. Plenty of members run Innovited hid's with no issues and are real close in brightness compared to morimotos

If anyone is curious guys on Facebook have got performance pages and sport pages working but apparently requires a lot of messing around.

I'll post some quotes and maybe you guys and mess with it some more and create a tutorial.

Sorry guys I’m working [emoji23], it wasn’t easy I ****** my Bcm couple times, that was 2 years ago , I don’t remember exactly how , I don’t want to be responsible for anything lol , you need a copy of your bcm confirmación then change brand to Jeep Grand Cherokee or Chrysler 300 , and then you are Gomito have all your cluster lights on (check engine , abs etc , gas gauge is not going to read properly so you need to adjust all that) so then read again your bcm and adjust as your original bcm ,

I just did what you said. Put it as jeep. Got srt pages on. Then went back and put it as Ram DS. Evic srt menu went back to normal but srt pages stayed on my unconnect [ /quote]

A WARNING ...
I And hopefully others do not recommend anyone try this!
... It's just not worth the hassle of trying to fix all the errors and problems that will absolutely come up when you change your vehicle line and may prevent you from being able to drive your truck... ie "Fxxx'd my BCM a couple of times".

We've seen many posts in this thread of people trying to get SRT pages to work that had to spent hours/days trying to get all the automatic BCM changes back to the original settings (that you should have saved first anyway).
I haven't actually seen the FB post yet, & I'm not saying it's impossible (not sure who's post that was), but it's not too be considered lightly.

I can make the radio think it's in a WK with the same method I am using for the BSM but I would probably need to do that on both CAN C and CAN IHS. The conversion module would also have be to powered at all times otherwise you would end up getting "Connection lost telematics module" DTCs.

I have some thoughts on this. @Mpgrimm2 I told you what happened last weekend that I had changed the vehicle line by accident when accessing the radio module. The fuel gauge went to empty, the cluster lit up like a Christmas tree with needles bouncing side to side and showed a traction control failure. Yes I was quickly able to fix the error but it sure was a pucker up moment.

Hi,

I bought the obdmx+ alfaobd software, main reason to be able to set my speed limiter at 90km/h on my 2015 ram 2500 cummins.

But I cant get it to work.

If I go to engine and to speed limit . It says max value to set is 0km/h and minium 40mph.

means there is no acceptle value,, I have tried with 90 but all it says is that its not a value in the correct range.

(i can set top speed on cruise control with sucess)

Also tried to go to the bodycontrol module where you can set max speed 0-500kmh.
I set it to 90kmh and it accepts and new value is 90,000.

But in real life,, there isnt any speed limiter at 90kmh.

How should I do to make this work?

Guys on Facebook at it fully working. And after got it worked changed vehicle back to DS ram and the pages stayed. Even reset BCM and if stayed. So curious to see how long it will stay or not.

I believe they were referring to having AlfaOBD itself initiate the regen while connected to the engine module, which it can do.
It would be nice, though, to figure out why the menu setting in the EVIC won’t show up on the 2019+ HD pickups like the C&C has.

Doh, You're right of course as always.

That’s not 100% true or you can change the maximum speed alpha OBD The trick is you only have one time you can change it we have successfully turned it up to 500 km several times also know one guy who accidentally put in 115 km thinking that it was miles per hour and his truck would only do like 60 Now because you could only do it one time he had to actually get a tune to straighten it out because the only other solution was to replace the entire computer

The way that people are getting the performance pages to work I wouldn’t recommend but
In a nutshell they’re changing it to a charger Then activating the pages then changing the back manually
To A ram leaving the pages active the entire way and they just happen to stay there yes
no one will make a tutorial there’s probably a 50% chance you break your truck by changing the vehicle type
secondly every vehicle is completely different and you have to go through every single option and re-select them to the correct setting afterwards it is a very long process

AlfaOBD can't change max speed. That's set in the ECM not the BCM. You need a tuner to do that properly.

that’s not entirely true we have successively changed it with Alpha mini times there is a serious issue though if you only have one chance to change it and then it stays permanently after that

Bonjour à tous, l'outil alfa est très bon, je l'ai depuis quelques temps et j'ai programmé:

Phares antibrouillard avec feux de route
Tpms
DRL dans les clignotants
VTA
Réglez la suspension pneumatique un peu plus haut (3/4 cm)

Très bien travaillé

La seule a choisi que je n'ai pas réussi est de faire les clés fob: l'application s'exécute sans s'arrêter pendant très longtemps, au bout d'un moment c'est moi qui l'arrête. J'ai une photo de la clé

[url = https: //servimg.com/view/16606222/408] https://i78.servimg.com/u/f78/16/60/62/22/20210410.jpg [/ img] [ / url]




Merci pour ce que vous avez travaillé sur ce post
