Need help with Alfa OBD settings changes I had before dealer reset my system and I lost them.

[corneileous]

Hey guys, I had my truck at the dealer the other day to have my radio updated being that Uconnect is having issues with OTA updates and after they got that done, they had to have my radio reset due to the outside air temp on the display for some reason was stuck or froze on the wrong temperature and in doing that, they reset all the changes I had done with Alfa OBD and I can’t remember where all that stuff is to re-enable it.

Of course, the long way of disabling the seatbelt-minder chime and the activation of my DRLs from another dealer wasn’t affected but all the other stuff I did which was the fog light dropout disabled with brights, DRL dropout disabled with turn signals, ability to turn the DRLs on/off from the radio settings screen and the disabling of the weather alerts.

Maybe this will help.

In the future, be sure to make a copy of the program / settings and save it.

What do you mean by that? I’ve heard of making a backup copy before doing anything so that if you mess anything up with a setting, you can easily revert back but how do you make a copy of the settings?

In Alfa you can upload your BCM settings to google drive. That has saved me a couple times in the past.
If you didn't make a back up you are going to have to manually make all those changes again.

Page 1 of the mega thread has details about the backup process.

Does it have to be google drive and not just a folder on my desktop?

Honestly not sure. I would imagine you can save a backup a few different ways. I haven't played with Alfa for a long time now though so I would have to refresh my memory

Yeah, I wish I woulda done that the first time but truth be told, I wasn’t expecting anything to be reset ever but oh well, it’s not like I had a bunch of stuff enabled.

But for disabling those annoying weather alerts, is this below what I have to disable? I can’t remember. I wanna say it’s not because I still had the ability to use the most of the travel link stuff but no weather alerts.

I use AlfOBD for Windows and use my Win 10 laptop, so yes, can be save right to the laptop.

I'm using Windows version as well. You can save setting anywhere you want. Mobile version might be different.

Should always take backup before and after. If the ota worked, it likely would have done the same.
