Anyone use this software?
Does it do everything alfaobd does?
Can it pull pin #'s instead of spending $$ everytime on pin puller??

Just looked into it. It sounds like it's just as capable as alfaobd and said it could access the pin in some models up to 2018. So it maybe a gamble if it can on ram's.

They only have 1 YouTube video and that was 3 years ago.

Last software update was 6/7/19.

And you have to buy licenses for each vehicle

They only have 1 thread linked on ram1500diesel forum

So doesn't seem to get updated often

I know alfaobd has the option to retrieve the pin. He just hasn't either figured it out or hasn't had time to actually add it in yet. Same thing happened with mileage correction. It was added as a option months before it was actually available

Maybe I'll try contacting him. I have people that want global windows down but not if they can't put them back up with fob.

The global up has never been a option with ram's. Not sure what brand it's actually available and what's required to make it work.

IIRC people have asked...it can be done and the developer knows how to do it, but he chooses not to include it for security reasons.

So instead we pay $15 each time to a different app. Maybe if he charged $5 it would be worth his while

Its a security thing, not a money thing.

He does not want someone to be able to use his app to pull the PIN and create fobs for a vehicle they do not own.

FWIW my dealer gave me my PIN for free, I just brought my license and registration for the truck to the parts counter and said I was trying to add another keyfob for a 3rd driver.

Different story when your doing remote starts on rams for a side job for extra cash and you have to pay $20/truck. Already gave pin puller almost $500

Just gotta build it into the price, I guess.

I know there is a way you can sign up with Mopar to be a legit security source and get the PINs that way, but Im guessing thats REALLY expensive to do.
