Installed mine today. Easy and looks beautiful. Thanks to the new AlfaOBD version I was able to program it all myself. Thanks for the great write up.

Good to hear it went easy. Looking forward to upgrading mine.
Hope to get mine and installed next wee. Got a nice deal on the Longhorn bezel, sitting here waiting for the cluster.

Ordered it. Got it for $300 with the programing

I've done a lot to my truck and this is probably the best interior mod I've done by far. It's even better now with AlfaOBD to correct mileage (I paid $175 4 years ago and had to ship it off)...

I still need to get my copy of AlfaOBD, but the guy programmed it and I am 20 miles off. Not too bad for a guess! Paid $300 for the EVIC and $76 for the Longhorn bezel.
Where is the best place to get the AlfaOBD program?

The consensus seems to be the Android App is the better choice (the other option is Windows if you don't have an Android device).

So if you have the Alfaobd you can program the mileage now?

Yes. Along with engine and idle hour's. Although this current updated seems to be hit or miss with some people on either mileage or hour's. Could be user error tho. Hopefully he'll have it straightened back out soon.

Yes, although I haven't done it myself...I paid $175 dollars years ago to have someone do it for me when we figured out the swap was plug and play (another point for AlfaOBD).

Ordered the OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner
Just finished installing Alphaobd on my phone.
Will try it Tuesday when it gets here. Hope it all works good, total is about $140 so far.

2014 Ram with the base cluster. I got a 2014 premium cluster and switched them. For some reason the big screen on the new cluster is white. All the manual gauges work. Is the cluster bad?

Sounds like it. Can you post a picture? Does anything on the screen change?
