Did you figure this out?

The setting is called fog light dropout. Set it to no and the fogs will stay on with high beam.

P.S. 18Crew - you beat me to it.

Select "No"

Did you figure this out?

It should be in the body computer CBC fog light dropout enabled. Change to disabled and it will leave them on with high beams.

Did you figure this out?

Yes, it was the fog light drop out function, as others mentioned

The real issue I was having was that this is a 2018, so I needed a security gateway module bypass cable which NO ONE makes for a journey

So I took a change on something marketed as a 12+8 cable, and it works like a charm

FCA 12+8 Universal Adapter Cable Bypass For Chryslers Security Gateway Module | eBay

FCA 12+8 Universal Adapter Cable Adapter For OBDSTAR/LAUNCH. Such as clearing fault codes, motion tests and E-C-U prog/ramming. In response to this problem, the isolation of the SGM/SGW can now be bypassed by the FCA 12+8 dedicated conversion diagnostic connector.

So on my 2013 RAM 2500 w/6.7L ihave an option to put the tires/truck in a "Light Mode" and "Heavy Mode". I just went from 275x70-17 tires to 37x12.5-18 tires. I used AlphaOBD to change the Tire Pressure Threshold for heavy load only. I need to know of figure out how to change the threshold to Light Mode. Can anyone help me on this issue? Has anyone successfully changed both Light and Heavy threshold? I

So, I'm new to this alphaobd deal. Bought a VGate MC+ and using g a Fire tablet. I got everything connected and was able to find my license plate lights and reverse lights by using this thread telling me where to look. I changed the setting to "yes" got LED lights. Is that all I'm supposed to do? I hit start and the screen updated. But, how do i know hit actually goes to the truck? I hooked everything and turned the truck on, but still got the bulb out messages when i started the truck.

Also, where would i find the place to reduce the temp that out my e-fan comes on?

Before you do anything with AlfaOBD, you should do a backup of your configuration. AlfaOBD is very powerful and you can completely hose your truck, if not careful, and a back up can help you sort it back out if needed. Truck may need a few key cycles / a few hours before it all registers after the changes are made. I have not experienced the lag on my '16.

To confirm it went to the vehicle, try doing it again and it will tell you they are already set for LED

It won't change the fan temp. Need an actual tuner to do that.

I went through the steps for the backup before I started and have it saved to my Google drive. It did take a couple of cycles for it to register. I noticed last night that it worked.

Bummer about the fan temps, that's one of the main reasons I bought thus thing. I could've sworn I read that it would change the temps that the fan would kick on. Oh well. At least I got bulb out messages to go off after 8 years.

Hello all,
Very new to AlphaOBD and have some questions. I have the security bypass module installed and went through the steps to enable remote start. When I query the body computer it shows remote start enabled. When i upload the output file it states that remote start is programmed but not enabled. Any ideas why?

Do you have the hood interlock switch all wired and operational?

Yes I do. The switch was installed from the factory. And I verified the settings.

It is very strange. The log file shows remote start present yes, remote start configured yes and remote start enabled yes in one section. No in a different section. Do i need to restart the unit? I did remove the battery connection to "restart" it but not sure if that actually works.

There are different RF hubs. One is standard with just the unlock and the other has the remote start feature built into it.

On your key FOB's that you got with the truck, did they have the push to start icon? If not, that's why the feature isn't working, even with the features programmed.

The correct hood switch may have been installed to simplify the parts supply.

I installed the remote start on my truck prior to having AlfaOBD. Kit came with 2 FOB's, new hood latch with switch, and a new hub. Installed the switch, hung the new hub in place, and went to dealer to have option turned on. When I got to the dealer, plugged in the new RF hub and they programmed it for $100 at the time.

Hope this can help with issue. Good luck tracking things down. Keep us posted.

Would this also prevent the "window down" feature? It did not work either. I will definitely pursue the other options as well.

Window down feature works on my 2017 with tip key. I enabled it in Alfaobd setting. Doesn't always put down my passenger window. I don't really use the feature, just wanted it as an option in case I want to use it.
