So you used the software and OBDLink to get what you wanted and returned them? If it were me (and it wouldn't be) I wouldn't tell anybody.
[/QUOTE]

I primarily used the PC version and not the Android version since I have an apple phone. I have an OBDLINK which i've lent to a friend who is now out of state. I had to buy another OBDLINK, and an extra copy of the software just to get my truck running again. Crazy to some, but it had to be done.

Thats what I did on my Laramie folding mirrors. (Disassembled and swapped the caps with a non power fold set.).

M² Mods.

Did this solve the sound quality issues too? I miss the original quality. Right now it sounds worse that the cheapest aftermarket setup..

So recently took my truck to fix some recalls and just realized that when I turn my highbeams on, my lowbeams turn off my fog light stay on but the lowbeams turn off. Im guessing it started because of the recalls/pcm update, I might of changed it but not entirely sure? Anyway to fix this with alfaobd?

from my understanding yes, alfaodb can keep all lights on when high beams are on. But I have not made the change, someone would need to confirm.

For anyone attempting to add a key to their vehicle using the PC based version... don't.

I had no original key, and I refused to spend $300 at the local stealership + a tow for a replacement... my local thief (locksmith) quoted me $200 just to program my $18 amazon key. So I took this challenge upon myself. I spent HOURS reading this thread, and followed the instructions I found to a "T". After asking my local stealership for the pin, they told me I couldn't have it. To save myself any more aggravation I took this alternate route:

I used the OBD LINK MX ($69) + CHRYSLER PIN PULLER APP ($15) ((available only on the google play store))...

After 2 hours of getting nowhere fast, I was met with an error message: "ACCESS DENIED INCORRECT PIN", so I decided to take my troubleshooting even further. I rebooted, retried, and even updated the ALFAOBD software to the most current version available on PC. And yet... the same error message appeared.

Lastly, I decided to purchase another copy of the ALFAOBD APP from the google play store ($50).

Took 3 seconds, and Immediate success.

Fortunately, this disaster/success story only cost me a total of $28.

Moral to the story: DONT BOTHER PROGRAMMING YOUR KEY WITH THE PC BASED VERSION OF ALFAOBD, IT WILL NOT WORK. oh... and don't let any service tech, parts counter employee, locksmith or anyone take your money.
Did you send him a debug file for the pc version so he can fix the issue for future users?

I finally installed the Titan 51 fuel tank and tried to reprogram the fuel capacity and Fuel calibration Full and empty settings. The tank is completely full and I changed it to 193 liters. The fuel gauge immediately went to just above 1/2 full. I powered off and waited and cycled the ignition, etc... no joy. I changed it back to 121 liters and it showed full. I tried to change the Calibration Full to 98%. It said completed but when I checked it again it was set at 91%. I tried multiple times and powering off in between and waiting and it will not take the 98%. Also my calibration empty was set for 2% already. Has anyone successfully changed the capacity to the new tanks size and got it to work? My previous 2006 Ram 2500 Cummins, I replaced the tank with the 56 gal and just drove it like that. It stayed on Full for a long time.
Thanks

It may take time for the changes to take.

Try changing it, in the evening, and let it "sleep" over night.

My DRL change took 24 hours to take.

Here we go. Got the video. The white drops out with the turn signal. Very interesting. I like it. Will post pictures of the led tail bulbs later

You don't think I didn't go there? Was looking for help, not an ******* reply.
I don't think he was trying to be an *******. We often reference people to the first post when they ask about adding codes that have been done several times. Ghost-Ram keeps it updated and all the questions you asked are answered there. It's easier and usually more helpful if you find them in that section before you start. Maybe you missed them when you looked at post one. It's all listed under known working codes. In any case he was trying to help you but you didn't see it that way for some reason.
