Alpha OBD error

[mjb765]

Installed the bypass harness for my '18 2500 and trying to connect to body module to change TPMS and I get this error. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like this but it is a few years older. Just updated the firmware on it to the current version.

I'd double check your bypass harness and make sure everything is seated properly, restart your phone or whatever device you are using and try again. Make sure that you are under ram 2500 and it really shouldn't matter whether you are on my body Computer 2013-17 or 16-17

Same message if you don’t use the bypass harness?

mjb765,

Have you tried using the OBDLink app to communicate with your OBDLink? That might tell you if Alfa, the dongle, or your phone is the problem.

I tried that before trying Alfa last weekend and got good comms, but stupid me tried to update the OBDLink firmware and bricked it so that Bluetooth wouldn't communicate. My job this weekend is to try the recovery steps from the OBDLink support pages.

It shows connected on the main Alpha page, just doesn't work when I pick the module. It works fine with the OBDLink app.
