Unfortunately, you’re stuck. WIN module probably gave up. This is something the dealer will have to do, because the AlfaOBD just isn’t capable of programming a new one to the truck.
Jimmy07,
OK, Thanks for the responses though, much appreciated.

Back to issues. After fixing it last night. Tried one more time to adjust speedo. Since it's still running off a few mph. Got the massive shut down again power steering, 4wd, auto park, trailer brake, speedo
dead etc...

It refuses to clear codes in the abs is the problem. Body and engine show no codes. Have literally cleared codes like 25 times in abs. Cycled key. No matter what it absolutely refuses

Cleared codes with alpha obd, obdlink and my hyper tech.

Also won't do my odometer hour adjustment. Biggest waste of money ever should have just stuck with my hypertech since it actually works.

Seconds from smashing my mx into pieces and going to fight the Alfa developer for building this pos.

Programmed over it with my hypertech and truck works again no codes.

The only part of process that never works is clearing rolls it claims you can't clear rolls during active session or something along those lines maybe that is issue.

Ok this is a weird one, I've set my upgraded 7" premium cluster kilometers and hours to match their real value, but since then when I set my cruise control it's in MPH instead of KMH. The cluster is set to metric and all other values are metric, but the cruise control. I've tried to set it to US and then back to metric, but result is the same. Any idea?

Pretty sure you cannot use LEDs for DRL's regardless if they are set to LED or not. They don't like running on a lower voltage.

Mine works fine... LED's set in Alfa and DRL set to blinker

Watched your YouTube vid. Have you ever seen hours work on a 3.5? My engine drive hours reset self on own before alfaobd. Alfa shows the correct number so it's still stored, but no mater what odometer only shows the wrong number

Thanks for watching. I hope they have helped.
Have you tried resetting the evic?
Hold down the "right" button on the steering wheel.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks..

I took it to dealer for it but they didn't fix it or my intermittent cruise issue. Just said they can't. Also found a vice grip smashed on a hose they forgot. Solid dealer. Sort of bought alfaobd to fix it myself

I just sent an email to alfaobd, lets see if I can get an answer. Cleary when setting the cluster it changed a flag somewhere that it shouldn't have for metric cluster

Are you just talking about like when you reset the fuel economy gauge by holding right?

Are you just talking about holding down the right button like when you reset the mpg meter? Tried it my hours are still messed up. I have 28k and 30 hrs drive time. So it thinks I drive nearly 100mph all the time. I've also tried the hour change doing key on one clck rather than two as some of the comments on your vid said. But either way it's staying at 30ish hours drive. The real number is like 1122 per alfa

You can also try evic self test. While truck is off hold down the down button and turn the truck to ACC position.
Side note, you may have to go with the windows version of AlfaOBD. A lot of people have had trouble changing miles and or hours with the Android version. Phones or tablets not being fast enough to make the change.

I can give that a shot. Would think an s9+ would still be fast enough. But I could also try my computer it's pretty new. Just sent an email to Alfa to see if they have any ideas.

ok I feel dumb now... [emoji2957]

digital speedo screen was set to mph, so obviously cruise was showing in mph. I switched it back to kmh and voilà cruise showed in kmh

Thanks @big daddys house for the self test trick since that reset to the digital speedo and realized the issue right away.

Hey guys, I fell off this forum for awhile. Was wondering if we're able to shut off traction control thru Alpha?

Did you get this working? Mine didn't reset either when installed. After driving for a day, it reset and has been working good since.

I have the Diode Dynamic HID kit with HYLUX 2A88 ballasts. And have HID's enabled with AlfaOBD. I'm still have issues with one of the bulbs not firing up. Both sides do it but never at the same time. When I toggle the lights off and on both lights will kick on. I didn't think this would happen with 35w ballasts. I'm assuming it's because they're not getting enough power? I was going to get a relay harness unless anyone has a better suggestion. If I do I just want to get a basic one without all the resisters. Will I get a lamp out on the passenger side since nothing will be plugged in there? Or can I disable it with AlfaOBD? I appreciate any help.

If you don't have any DTC's in the BCM then I would suspect a ballast issue. I'm running morimoto xb35 ballasts on my truck directly wired to the stock headlight wiring and have no problems with them. I have my BCM set to HID headlights
