I read a lot of posts mentioning the alphaobd. What year Rsms will this work on and what is a ballpark cost on this? I am not sure as to what it actually is or the capabilities of whatever this is.

I believe it works on 06-19 (classic I believe has been confirmed and pretty sure some simple changes were made on the 5th gen new body style) I don't know what alphaobd is capable on 06-12 year's.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the speed at which trucks with air suspension (2014 Laramie) will put themselves into areo mode? right now it seems as if it will only lower at 105km/h (ish) Thanks

Can anybody confirm that the current android version of alfaobd is fixed for programming keys? I don’t think it was working for awhile and I want to do a couple more keys. Thanks.
I programmed 2 keys the other day. Using my Pixel 2 XL which apps are updated nightly if available.

Can AlfaOBD be used to disable or remove active grill shutters (AGS)? Motor went bad in the assembly and it is ridiculously expensive to replace.

Did anyone ever try to disable the shutters via AlfaOBD?

Still no solution to the problem in the CSM section. Mine is also a 2013.I had a problem with the tilt in reverse and now just added a factory backup camera and cannot turn on the grid lines in the CSM menu. Was able to turn the camera on with no problem. Sent in another debug file today but never gotten any response for the ones I sent weeks ago from alfaobd?a3987e92d5cf0046796aa5cdc15430b5.jpg

My truck has the keyless enter and go system. When I get out of the truck with it running, the system starts dinging non-stop until I return. Drives my wife nuts. Is there a way to turn the beeping off? I turned off the seatbelt alert, but haven't found a setting for this one yet.

Not that I have seen. Along those same lines, I wish the truck would turn off if the brake was depressed and put into gear with the fob out of the vehicle.

Just out of curiosity any Alfa users around salt lake City? I would like to try a different set to see if I get the same issue. I am using the window version and a cheaper obd reader then the recommended one.

What changes do you have planned? I also have 2018, and I’m in the process of purchasing all the needed alfaobd components.

Enable LED/HID low beams and high beams. Enable DRLs to run thru the amber turning signal. The dealership was able to enabled my DRLs at the time of purchase last year but thru a lower voltage on the low beams.

Don’t forget to download your original config before you make any changes. This way you can refer back if something doesn’t work.

Thanks for the reminder, i did watch a youtube video advising users to do this first just in case they run into any issues they can always go back to the original conf sheet. Thanks again!

Where do you get the alfaobd software

If you have an android phone or tablet just download it direct $49 or you can go to alfaobds website and download the windows version to use with your laptop
