AlfaOBD For 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel

[CaptainMax]

Hey Everyone,

First off, if this conversation is already started, I apologize, and if you can link it in the comments, that would be great.

Have a 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel that should be coming this week or next. I have been reading around, and I think I am going to be buying an OBD scanner and connect it to the AlfaOBD program. After a little reading, I have a question that I hope someone can answer.

To use the AlfaOBD software on my 2023 Ram, 1500 EcoDiesel, am I going to need to buy a Security Gateway Bypass Module?

Any advice and or information is greatly appreciated.

100% yes. this is directly off alfa's site, not sure if they support 2023 yet but they havent noted anthing about it yet either. Still a DT so I would assume some functions if not all work.

Note: Starting from Model Year 2018 (Fiat 500L from MY2017) FCA installs the Security Gateway Module (SGW) which blocks third-party diagnostics. AlfaOBD has no software solution yet, as a workaround please use a hardware SGW bypass module.

Owners of Alfa Romeo Giulia/Stelvio, Fiat 500X/Toro/Jeep Renegade/Compass MP , make sure that the bypass supports the second high-speed CAN bus, the one that is connected to the pins 12 and 13 of the car OBD port.

You can get an SGW bypass here:
