They said it wont write sales codes, but should work. Lol. So what do they actually sell? A downloadable program for my computer so i can get my parts to work? Im not to electronic savvy.

I think you can enable/turn on the sales codes already in your truck but you can not write or create your own sales codes.

Basically, it does the same thing the dealer would do- turn the feature on in the BCM (body control module). Except, when the dealer does it, the sales code (3 digit letter/numbers) will be added to your VIN. This means that if you were to get your build sheet, the one that shows the sales codes for every option and item on your truck, it will now show up as equipment on your truck.
The Alfa software just “turns the feature on”.

These are “sales codes”...

I did this exact same thing on my 2011 with some Opt7 mirrors with turn signals and puddle lights using the Alfa software and an OBDLink MX. I used the windows version of the software and my Surface tablet. I did have a couple of minor glitches, but I emailed Alfa with the diagnostic logs and they were great and sent me a patched version to try which worked fine. They said based on the diagnostic log that there was a timing issue and they tweeked it. I did mine early summer and the program has been updated since then so the new one may work fine as is.

They are correct, it doesn't write sales codes on my older 2011 truck, at least not in the traditional way. However, in the vehicle configuration section (I think that's what it's called, going from memory) there is a long list of items in sections that can be changed. I was able to select "Mirrors contain signal lights" and change it from "UnSet" to "Set", and it worked fine. The puddle lights I found in the door lamp section of the software and changed that to "Set" also which got those working too.

I was also able to change factory trailer brake controller to "Set" which added it to my EVIC. The trailer brake controller, which I installed a couple years ago already worked fine without the sales code, but just didn't show up on the EVIC and now it does. Took me a bit to find that one since the word trailer wasn't used, it was called ITBM which stands for Integrated Trailer Brake Module.

It was a little confusing for me to do, especially at first because newer trucks are apparently done differently and most instructions I found online in forums for the Alfa software were different. Most guides talked about things like proxy alignment which my 2011 truck doesn't seem to have or need and the guides also showed entering sales codes which I couldn't do. It worked though and saved me a trip to the dealer.

One thing I'm not sure of is that if for some reason the dealer ever needs to reflash my computer for some reason, I don't know if the options I changed will stay set. If not, I guess I can always redo it.

From what it looks like, they don't offer the app for an iPhone. They have them for cell phones that use Andriod operating systems like Samsungs or similar phones. If you have a laptop that uses Windows and has Bluetooth capability you can use that to get the Alpha OBD to work.

It's an iPhone limitation. Apple doesn't do a full bluetooth stack implementation in their phones unfortunately.

Thanks man. What did the software cost?

$49.95 fThe

The software is around $49. The ScanTool OBDLink MX isn't cheap though, around $80. They recommend that one because apparently not all brands and models of the bluetooth OBD interfaces work with the software because of communications protocols or something like that.

So $130. Thats all? Of so, thats way cheaper than paying the dealer

Ny question is? Where'd you find those so cheap. I need a driver side assembly.

Sorry so late answering....Yep, that was total. Saves even more if you had to take it to the dealer more than once for additional adds. Plus you can use the OBD interface for other apps, diagnostics, etc.
