AlfaOBD

[likes2build]

^^^^^^ what @diboblo said, I don't know that anyone has ever had issues using the Obdlink MX. It's the one the developer specifically lists as being compatible with Alfaobd.

I am using the BAFX Products BAFX3127 OBD from Amazon and am running AlfaOBD on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I went with this OBD and security bypass because I saw elsewhere that someone used this combination to install a brake controller successfully on a 2019. What OBD would you suggest to try instead?

^^^^^ What Bob and likes2build above stated. It is the MOST widely used by the members here in this thread with NO problems.

Has anyone been using the 2018+ FCA Security Gateway Module Bypass from Infotainment.com, the OBDLink MX, and AlfaOBD and had any problems with anything they changed on a 2019 Ram 1500?

 

[Inside Man]

Im not using the bypass from Info but just today on my 19 Classic i used the alfa along with the MX and security bypass listed in this thread to activate my newly installed aux buttons, trailer brake, upgraded gauge cluster and remote windows without a single prroblem. Go for it.

I have 1 each, 1500 and 2500 bypass harnesses from @DeereGuy (vendor here on the forum). Absolutely the best there is and it's way easier to install without removing the radio / bezel for access.

Save some doubts and get the one DeereGuy makes listed in the OP.

Note on
AlfaOBD's support page about the zAutomotive Bypass (Infotainment gets it from them) ...

The bypass from Zautomotive does not currently support this bus!
Here is how to modify Zautomotive device (thanks to Fulvio from Italy for the solution and the permission to publish it) :
Open the Zautomotive device and solder two wires: connect pins A1 and A2, and connect pins A8 and A9 (see the picture).
Modification is the same for the first and the second model of the device.

M² Mods.

Just a quick question, I just bought a Galaxy Tab A that I was going to download AlphaODB on to so that I can use it on my 2014 Ram Express. Will this work okay on this tablet the only reason I ask is that on the google play store it says that the app may not be optimized for my device. I would hate to download it and then it not work right. Any help would be appreciated.

I use a tab A for alpha and it works just fine

Hello, I have just bought alfaobd and I have few question about it. Can you change the trigger temperature for auto confort?

Can you change the zone of the automatic ventilation? It always shoot air to the feet, which is not useful to defrost windshield in winter. Can you select foot and front windshield zone instead of just foot?

Can you desactivate tpms?

And i have heard of proxy alignement but I cant find it in body computer.

Thanks

On my 2012 I was able to deactivate TPMS.

Not sure about auto comfort, I’m interested in that as well.

I dont believe you can completely eliminate the tpms system as it is a mandated piece of equipment on vehicles now but you can make the thresholds whatever you desire.

You can change it to TPIS which only reads the pressures without all the alarms,etc. At least you can on the 2500's not sure about the 1500's though!!

IiRC, you an select Premium and Base TPMS as NOT PRESENT, under VehConfig 3, to disable this feature.

You have to change both, though.

Maybe someone else will chime in.

Can’t completely disable TPMS. Like mentioned, you can either lower the thresholds, or change it to TPIS by making the changes in this post- https://www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-873#post-2127784
No proxi alignment needed for Rams.

Copy paste of the steps I took to disable on my 2012. This will show 0 psi in TPMS and turn off light. I reverted and lowered my thresholds.

TPMS notification
1 Connect to Body computer selecting Central Gateway Module MY2006-2012
2 When connected, select active diagnosis (the icon with a car on the lower right corner)
3 Select Change car configuration (the last one on the list)
4 Select vehicle tech config2 Tire Pressure System
5 Set it to unset and hit start

Is there anything that can be done with the evap system with the Alfa obd.. It's such a silly system to repair at home, I would like to disable it or shut if warnings.

Federal emissions control? Doubt you can shut it down.

Agree its a silly system, even worse is that it *should* be cheap to fix, but finding what needs to be fixed is what costs the most.

 

[keepemrollin14]

Why would you want to shut it off when you can lower the thresholds and make it function correctly? I know its no big deal to just check pressures manually but not sure why you would want it turned off unless your truck is specifically offroad use or race use.

Thanx. I will try that. I also just got an 7” EVIC plugged it in and nothing. Do I need a security code from the dealer? Thank for the suggestions I will look into that

He’s got a 2014. Pre-2013 ram trucks have a completely different TPMS system, and those steps won’t work for him.

 

[jdomke1]

I’m considering doing the premium cluster upgrade and have been waiting for this app to do the trick. Is it really working? I’ve got a 2014 that I grabbed a 2014 premium cluster from. Will I be able to program the miles and hours? This thread moves so fast it’s hard to keep up with the progress and steps needed.
