Mileage hasn’t changed for me yet. I’ll keep trying

Please tell me there is a way to determine if the mileage has been changed! I can see a potential here for unscrupulous individuals lowering their mileage for resale value.
Truck: 2014 Ram 1500
Radio: ra2 5.0
Old cluster: 3.5"
New cluster: 7"
Dongle OBDLink MX +
Phone: Samsung S10
Alfa obd: 2.1.9.6
Millage/Vin/hours would not change.
Found someone near me with version
With 2167 I was able to successfully change the mileage and hours.
milage was off by 1.4 though
317 idle
2690 drive
3007 total
Idle reset worked but after powering down and restart the idle went to 318 drive 2689 total stayed at 3007.
since its a 2019 you'll need the security bypass module or harness. i do have the brand new module from infotainment. I don't need it since my ram is a 2014New to this forum. I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic and recently got alphaobd and was curious what body computer I should use for making changes to the configuration.
I've had the exact same issue, for me when updating mileage and selecting the 3.5 option on alfaobd has worked for mileage, hours have been trickier and like you I've spent hours attempting this without resolve, though I've read of people contacting the app creator and getting the windows version of the app and resolving this.2014 ram 1500 express
3.5 cluster to 7 inch premium cluster
got the premium cluster and had it all hooked up and tried to change the miles and hours to no avail and the "P" for park on the cluster was blinking (that normal for these clusters?) Running app on a note 20, have the obdlink mx+ and I did update it to current version and it seems to work OK and to be communicating. But every time I try to reset the miles and hours it fails saying no data recieved from ecm/interface or data corrupted. I tried it about 10 different times and still nothing. About 3 hours of trying. I've read some of what I could find in the forum but nothing has worked. Anyone with more alfa experience got some advice or ideas for me to try that will work?
I tried the 3.5 selection as well and it said that it completed but didn't change right away. I'll see if it does after resting for a day. But I'm not sure if it will from what I was seeing it do. I have emailed the creator but haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully they do get back to me soon.I've had the exact same issue, for me when updating mileage and selecting the 3.5 option on alfaobd has worked for mileage, hours have been trickier and like you I've spent hours attempting this without resolve, though I've read of people contacting the app creator and getting the windows version of the app and resolving this.
Same thing happen to me. I just upgraded 3.5" cluster to the 7" in my 2018 2500. I'm using AlphaOBD ver 2.2.0.0 on my android tablet. After couple tries... I was able to change the odometer with correct mileage, but can't get the Lifetime Idle and Engine Hours to take. Also, tried to add VIN write and done same thing as you described. I thought the damn thing was toast because the Continental screen stayed on for long time - with the key fob completely removed. Eventually, it turned off and came back ok. How can I get in touch with app creator to see about getting Windows app? Did you have to pay same price for Windows version?At the risk of being long winded I'm running out of options myself on getting the mileage correction to take on my 2017 2500 SLT Diesel. The donor cluster came from 2015 eco diesel Laramie. I had started with the last release of android app and the obd link+. The only thing I could do successfully with my android app was change my TPMS (I had previous gotten my PIN) but could not change engine hours, or mileage. (even updated the MX+ firmware) I had emailed Alexey and he graciously responded and sent me a link for the windows version which allowed me to change the idle hours and life time hours but disappointedly I still haven't been able to correct the mileage. (tried several gyrations of the procedure and deviations cycle the key and what not.) I also tried the VIN update to the IPC and it was a strange experience to say the least. The VIN write procedure after a few moments responded procedure failed and then the IPC appeared to just lock-up on the continental splash screen for several minutes (Even with the key off) then as I'm thinking I just made a brick out of my IPC finally powers off. The good news is the IPC powers back up and appears fine and when I look at the log it indicates it took my VIN. As I stated in my opening I can't get the mileage to update with either the android or windows version. Open for suggestions
Thanks
Connect to the engine module, and read the system status. You will find four odometer locations- 0,1,2,3. These are the mileages stored from each wheel speed sensor. For reference, my locations are showing:Can Anyone help and give us a valid answer? I was told on another thread we could match up the mileage with the miles written to the PCM using AlfaOBD, we replaced a broken 3.5" odometer with a 7" and could only guess the actual mileage because we never wrote it down. How do we look at the PCM mileage in AlfaOBD to set it exact? We haven't heard back yet and we wanted to set it properly this weekend. My buddy is freaking out because his mileage might not be exact so he wants the exact mileage on the new odometer so he doesn't run into issues if it needs to go to the dealer at a later date.
Can you be more specific on where to do this in Alfa?, newbie to AlfaOBDConnect to the engine module, and read the system status. You will find four odometer locations- 0,1,2,3. These are the mileages stored from each wheel speed sensor. For reference, my locations are showing:
0- 49020.93

2- 49037.31
3- 49045.50
My odometer in the EVIC shows 49043.
3.5 cluster is dead and gone not to mention he has to drive it so has been driving it.To add to my above post. Another way you could determine the mileage, if the truck hasn’t been driven since the swap:
Reinstall the 3.5 cluster, connect to the instrument panel and go through the steps of changing the mileage by entering any number. Press start, and it will inform you of what the current mileage is set to on that 3.5 cluster.
