Hello, I've recently bought a Ram Rebel 2016 and doing a euro conversion for the lightning. But i have some issues.

I have disabled the "Combined Rear Lighting" but after doing that i keep getting left+right turn signal out message on the instrument + hyperflash on the front and side turn signals.

I even tried the "Rear Lighting DTC Disable" but still getting this error.

Also when i start the truck i get no errors or hyperflash. But as soon as i put it into gear i will get left + right turn signal out message.

Any ideas what wrong?

Any tablet with Bluetooth and wifi I would assume. Cheap everywhere.

hello all, i recently installed an aftermarket rear cam and tapped it into the factory u connect. after going through that hell of wrong connectors and having the video feed wires reversed, ive programmed the truck with alfa obd and i get the camera when i back up, but i dont get the soft key to turn it on while im in park. when i activate the cargo cam in alfa obd it gives me that soft key for the cargo cam but not the rear view camera. ive done extensive googling and cant find a solid answer. some people say they have it, some people say the 15 and older doesnt have that option. am i going on a goose chase trying to figure this out or is it just not possible to activate that button option on a 2014 ram? thanks

Been a while since I asked... Has AlfaOBD updated yet to cover 2010 Ram 1500's? Cause I see the "newer" OBDLink MX+ OBD II dongle out. Kinda hoping I can pull the trigger finally and be able to look more in depth to my truck, and its settings.

Thanks in advance, cause I know, this is the ONLY place I'm ever gonna get the right answer... :)

Actually, this software came out way before the 4th Gen Ram's were even on the drawing board. It was originally written for Fiats, Alfa Romeo's and Lancia's.

So the short answer is that yes, it works fine on a 2010. I've used on both my 2010 and my son's 2012 without issues.

What all setting have you enabled? Have you enabled the CSM setting? And it is a 2014 truck?

more or less anything to do with a camera ive enabled, minus the cargo cam. what i think it comes down to is a setting on the 15+ that i found in alfaobd. one called "trailer hitch camera present". i dont have that option on the 14 list. just trailer tow present or something.

This is what came up in the google docs with this site as everything needed. My log of my 2014 just shows the "trailer tow present" also and it is marked yes, but mine came with the tow package. All of the codes below with the exception of the "trailer hitch camera" are marked as "yes or present"

Hope this helps and you get it figured out.



Rear View Camera:

Rear View Camera
Rear Camera Present
Rear Camera CSM
Rear View Camera Delay CSM
Trailer Hitch Camera
Rear View Camera Dynamic Gridlines Enabled - Or - Static Gridlines Enabled

Did you turn off the front and rear fault detection circuits that are normally enabled on the led trucks? There are four of them under CBC I/O Usage:

Driver door ajar switch usage > disable

Front passenger door ajar switch usage > disable

Left rear door ajar switch usage > disable

Right rear door ajar switch usage > disable

I know it doesn’t sound right being “door ajar”, but you’ll see once you select value that they are the lamp diagnostics circuits that are normally disabled on non led light trucks.
I hate to resurrect an old post like this one, but, that being said.. I have a 2014 1500 Sport that I am having the same issue with hyper-flash and right rear turn signal showing as out. This started about 2 months ago. If I disconnect the negative battery cable it goes away and works for a few days as expected, but it always returns. I do not have any burnt out LEDS (OEM LED Taillights). I have AlphaOBD and the OBD MX+ device. I am missing the right rear door ajar switch usage setting. Ive scoured the body_chrysler_info.log a few times and I swear its not there. Is this something that I would need to get ECM relfashed at dealer? Thanks for your input in advance and apologies for the old thread quote.

Has anyone used Alpha to do idle up on a 2016 2500 5.7. everything I'm reading says it's only 6.4 or deisel. At this point I may just use a stick.

This thread is daunting! Trying to look through, but I don’t see an answer…
Is the license to a single VIN only? Or can you program additional vehicles?

I ask, because if someone is local (NH/MA) I’d pay for gas/beers if someone were able to use their setup on my truck…

It's not linked to the vin at all. It will work on multiple vehicles.
