>>> I know NOTHING about the Uconnect 5 with 8.4" display
Where is the best place to go see all the tutorials??? YouTube??

>>> I know NOTHING about the 400 watt inverter either... I have found NO AC outlets on the truck

>>> I have AlpaOBD, if I change my lights to LED, do I have to change any OBD settings???

Those are my Major queries right now... THNX guys

the the book should tell you all about the sterio, it does on mine. 2014,
The inverter 110 plug should be on the dash next to glove box, thou I am not sure on the 5 th gen,

The sheet you post mentioned crew cab, but the picture sure looks like a quad cab, same as my last 3 , with the longer box then the standard crew cab box.

One thing I wonder about is what the A off button does on the transmission controls?
Auto park when you open the door? BTW on my back up screen,
I turned the lines off.
You can do stuff like that on the radio setting.

Isnt the A button to keep the motor from shutting off when the truck comes to a stop? Its definitely a quad cab, not a crew cab.

YEAH I think the Crew Cab was a misprint from the dealer ad... The Truck window sticker even says Quad.

And YES, the A button I have to press every time I run the truck to keep from "shutting off at a stop"... at least I have a shut off button.

Congrats on the new ride.

There are no changes required to the OBD2 port to use AlfaOBD, although all 2018+ FCA vehicles require a Security Bypass cable.

AFAIK, frugel gen5 owners can buy the inexpensive 12+8 bypass cable, because the Security Gateway is beside/behind the OBD2 port. This cheap cable will have to be R&R every time you make changes.

The more popular choice is the KaodTech Security Bypass cable. It installs in minutes. Install it once and forget it. I've had mine installed for a couple of years, coiled and stowed behind the dash.


Everyone has a different tolerance level for Auto-start/stop systems. My tolerance is low, but fortunately, my buddy who has it on his truck usually remembers to hit the defeat switch.

For those who can't be bothered, there are aftermarket solutions that are warranty-tolerant.

Your rig then did its job and took the hit to save you.

So this does NOT need also a CODE from a dealer???
My dealer might give me a code?... but I still need the cable?

Sorry, new to this

No code is required to use AlfaOBD; only the hardware to connect it while bypassing the Security Gateway Module.

A PIN is required to configure new FOBs. AlfaOBD can read the PIN on older trucks, but newer models use a 5-digit rolling code that the dealer can supply.
When I looked for the PIN on my '21, AlfaOBD indicated it was a 5-digit rolling code & NA.

1) Security Bypass cable
2) OBD2 port interface. The OBDLink MX+ is a popular choice, but I prefer a USB (OBDLink SX) versus Bluetooth. The SX is no longer available at Amazon.com only dot ca.
3) And either a windoze laptop or android phone, (not iPhone) to run AlfaOBD.
I prefer windoze.
