Noob question, what four digit pin...?Ok, answered my own question today. I bought two Fobiks on Amazon for ~$36 (total). These are the Fobiks that also have the air suspension and remote start for my '16 Rebel. I went to my local dealer parts dept yesterday and they gave me my PIN no charge (after verifying ownership with my insurance card). I purchased AlfaOBD today, and used AlfaOBD to program the new Fobiks to the truck.
Under the RF Hub section in AlfaOBD, I used the "Program Ignition Fobiks Baseline System" function to program the keys. It prompts you for your key code PIN (4 digit), then you hit "Start", and insert the new Fobik in the ignition (leave off). I didn't have to turn on the Hazards like some Youtube videos show. AlfaOBD then says complete (or something like that...forgot). I even tried to reprogram a key (thought it didn't take), and AlfaOBD said "key already learned". Cool.
Bypass harness is in place. I've read where others are using wifi without issues.. if that's the issue I dont understand why one app works 100% while alfaobd doesn'tDon't the '18s need a bypass module or harness?
You mentioned you were using an ELM327 over WiFi? I thought the AlfaOBD site said WiFi connections might be iffy
Can you just go up there and ask for it or do you have to ...know somebody@prohunter The 4 digit pin is obtained from the dealer. It is a code needed for replacement/learning/flashing the RFhub.
Here is a useful postCan you just go up there and ask for it or do you have to ...know somebody

Anyone? I have the keys cut and I have the PIN, alfaOBD, and the OBDLinkMX, just want to be sure it's possible.
That seems to be how they are are all acting.

In addition to the post Ghost_Ram linked, I pasted below another post I did on this. Hope it helps:
There are 2 PIN codes for your truck. The pin code you want is only 4 digits and its not a rolling code. The other PIN code is 5 digits (one being a letter) and it is a rolling code. You do not want the rolling one.
Be prepared to maybe running into push back by service depts., many will not give you the code. They treat it as being owned by FCA. Usually have better luck at the parts counter in getting your PIN.
Clear the code, see if it comes backSo I have an issue. I had tow mirrors originally...swapped them for 2014 sport mirrors. I was in alfa and saw tow mirrors, removed them in the settings. Now I have a P0070 ambient temperature fault. I went back and switched tow mirrors back, but code remains. any thoughts?
code comes right back
When clearing the code, did you try through the Alfa app? I’ve found sometimes they can be a bit persistent. If after trying again, you might want to try the batter pull method.
Also, when you removed the tow mirrors setting, did you enable the folding mirrors a few spots above the tow mirrors setting?

I as well am using the BAFX and have been doing fine with it. I used this for my Audi Q5 and the carista app for the vagcom system which was just (if not maybe more complicated). So far so good and worse case scenario I'll get the recommended one but so far no issuesFrom the AlfaOBD website:
"An ebay interface based on an ELM327 clone might work fine if you are lucky. But there are lots of defective interfaces sold which can not establish connection to car ECUs under AlfaOBD. If, when connecting to a car ECU AlfaOBD displays a message "Interface reports NO DATA" or "Interface reports CAN ERROR", this is most probably a sign that you have one of these defective interfaces. If such an interface works OK with other OBDII diagnostic software it is because this software uses a different connection mode (standard OBDII/EOBD). "
I have had success with AlfaOBD using the BAFX ELM327 bluetooth interface, I think I paid about 20 bux on Amazon for it.
I did enable them. I switched everything back to where it was. My temp on the radio is reading 54 degrees when actual temp is 33 degrees. I have tried clearing the code with 3 different devices now.
