Maybe a screenshot of the setting in Alfa will help

The part you should bone up on 1st is how to back up your current settings before making changes, and how to compare them later.
I have a feeling your going to need it. I know I did. Good luck.

I will read up on all of how to back up current settings.
Only thing I will be interested in changing is getting the alarm activated and nothing else

That is a pretty simple procedure. Let me know when you get your adapter and Alfa ready and I will send you some walk through info.

amazon and ebay show the same part # but is says ford and gm can this be used on ram/dodge
I would go straight to the source. Problem with a lot of eBay and Amazon 3rd party sellers is they are not always the real deal.

From the link I posted:

Vehicle Compatibility
OBDLink MX Bluetooth works with all 1996 & newer model year cars and light trucks sold in the U.S., including all American, European, and Asian vehicles. Live outside the U.S.? Most newer non-U.S. vehicles are compliant with the OBD-II standards.

Just to clarify, this is being used on your 2013 Bighorn and not what you have listed for a Ram year (2005)??

It may take up to 24 hour's to get the code. The programmer Alexey lives in Europe somewhere.

Until you get Alfa and the mx, once you get familiar with it you will want to change much more lol
