Considering getting Alfaobd but I’m wondering how it would work between 2 different trucks. I have an 09 and my dad has a 2016, I would like to be able to use it on both trucks, for example programming additional fobs for each. Is that easily possible?

Yes, I use it on my 2010 1500, my 2014 3500, and my son's 2012 2500, works fine on all

Any body here in SE Michigan that can turn on the trailer brake controller and the option to have fog lights and brights on at the same? I don't want the dealer messing with it.

Hi guys, I have a 2013 Ram 1500. I have alfaOBD w/ a USB Vlinker device. I am trying to disable TPMS completely from my truck for winter wheels.

I have connected everything,

VehConfig 3 Base TPM system present- NO
VehConfig 3 premium tpm system present- NO
VehConfig 5 non regulated tire pressure information system- NO

TPMS error on the screen is gone, but the icon is still lit and flashing.
I have reset the RF Hub as well. What am I missing?

Update - it’s only happening when the lights are on. When my lights are off (and I hit the brakes) this doesn’t occur. Very frustrating…
On my 2018 I tried using switchbacks in the front turn signal/marker lights as I used AlfaOBD to designate the marker lights as DRLs and hoped the switchbacks would work amber for turn signals and white for DRL. What I found was switchbacks didn’t work. Constant light out messages. Went with plain amber LED and no outage message. Have you tried a standard white LED instead of the switchback?

Seems like I saw a post somewhere that I cannot now find, about the heated steering wheel having several heat levels (like Low/High).
Anyone know anything about that? I have the heated wheel. It has ON and OFF but it's a bit to hot for my liking. Having a Low setting would be great. Which BCM setting to change?

Thanks

You can try with mine so you can say that you've tried with countlesstrucks and only this one 2012 was a jacka$$ that wouldn't work, even with alfaobd tecjmh support. They didn't know why it wouldn't work either. I've tried for two weeks. Two android devices, one windows, two cables and countless logs sent. Still, I get some reaction from turning on light on at a time, but when I go to configure the truck, it gives a disclaimer that the process was not verified. When I disconnect and power everything down, then back up, there is no change. Today I was so pissed that I threw a wrench against the hood and dented the crap out of it. How can every one else have such an easy time with this and I own the only RAM that won't work? I tried wrecking it on my way to work. Screw this hunk of crap.

Just downloaded the app and I’m trying to save a backup of my original BCM configuration as explained in the first post of this thread as follows:

“To upload your System ID information (BCM) go to the "Tools" icon in the upper right corner. From there select "Upload to Google Drive", it will ask you to link to Google Drive. Link your Google Drive to Alfa. Select "Upload to Google Drive" and "Upload Faults and Status Log". Then select "Body_Chrysler_Info". Name the file to upload whatever you wish. Done! Now you can go to your Google Drive and read the system info a little easier.”

But when getting to the part where I’m supposed to select “body_chrysler_info” I don’t get that option, this is what I get:

671802E1-FFA2-441B-A010-A85BCF534892.jpeg

Can anyone help?
