Am I missing something or does Alpha not do any of the engine ancillary functions? Like cooling fans or grille shutters or MDS

You can test them but if you want to disable them or change the set points you need a to tune your ECM

Install the MX & press the reset button, then make sure it's connected to your phones bluetooth, then connect in the app... then connect to the BCM.

I had a little time when I got home so I did the reset and tested, same results. so I downloaded the Alpha OBD demo version and tried it, it connected and acted fine. So I guess I’m going to delete the software and reinstall on my android tablet and test again when I get back home.

thanks

You'll need the correct transfer case for that to work

Unless you have a freak of a build 1500 truck, the BW44-44(Auto 4X4) was standard for the BigHorn trim package. I say freak build as some 2014 CC w/6.4' Outdoorsmans were built with BW44-44 instead of the BW44-45.
Or are you saying your truck has a dial 4X4 shift knob? Those were in 2500 trucks. There is no Full-Time(Auto 4X4) transfer case for the 2500s

Possibly your best bet would be a salvage yard for the transfer case or post in the Wanted section that your looking to buy or trade your BW44-45(Part-Time) for a BW44-44(Full-Time) transfer case.
Did you ever look up the build sheet from your VIN to see how it left the factory?

On the fire tablet I had to side load the play store.

I bought an "RCA" brand tablet that was NOT "authorized" to run the play store and could not side load it as it was not capable of RUNNING it

I was NOT referring to the fire tab as NOT to get BUT to watch out for CHEAP "android" tabs

The fire tablet is definitely a cheap tablet, but I understand that you get what you pay for. I bought a cheap tablet and all it’s good for is to run alfaodb. I’m not an Android person so I didn’t want to spend the money on a good tablet. The fire is cheap and I’ve read it works for, with a little help, for what I needed it to do. I do understand that you were warning about getting a cheap tablet that would be useless for alfaodb and be a waste of money and time.

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

Just looked up the build sheet. It comes back as an SLT. Although within the build sheet it does say "Big Horn" Badge.

Anyone change Navigation input to work while driving? 2019 1500 DT. Thanks in advance

I got alpha over the holiday break. Did the following:

Disabled fog light dropout with hi beams
Changed tire size to match the 275/65/20's thats been lugging this thing around for over a year
Reflashed key fobs to add remote start to them, now it works on the truck.

Really wish I would have gotten this when i bought the truck.

Thanks to all who have taken the time to post videos and how to instructions on here and on the google drive. It made the process very easy.

Hi. I am still trying to get the rain sense wipers to work. I am using Alfaobd. I can get the option to show up on uConnect settings but when I enable it the wipers don't work as they should. I have a 2019 Bighorn 1500. The sensor was already installed. If I disable the option they go back to being intermittent. Thanks in advance for any help I can get with this.

Is the rain sensor enabled under VehConfig 2?

Did anyone ever adjust when the auto headlights turn on and off? Getting a bit tired of them coming on every time I go through shadows of trees.

 

[1500ram12]

There is a setting to adjust the sensitivity. Pretty sure someone posted something about it a few days ago

After I reinstalled that Alpha OBD software, it connected to the body computer and I disabled the cargo camera, now my reverse camera works.

Hi,
just wanted to see if anyone can confirm or deny that the 4 digit number at the bottom of your build sheet is the same number needed to program a keyfob?
