Hi everyone! I'm so glad I found this forum and to be a part of it. I found out about this forum and the Alpha OBD program while researching OBDII readers on Amazon for my daughter's 2011 Honda CRV to help with some issue with it. Saw someone's comments in the reviews and they mentioned both the AlphaOBD program and the RamForum having tons in information on how to use the program and how they were able to change and activate various things for their Ram. After a lot of investigating both AlphaOBD and the forum, here I am. Purchased the Windows version of Alpha. Following instructions I have found here in the forum from lots of you, I was able to install the new tow mirrors and activate the turn signals in them, the puddle lights/mirror approach lights and was able to turn on the tilt mirror in reverse adjustment. I've also activated the Global up and down windows feature, although like most everyone else, the windows go down just fine, but won't go back up (no biggie though). A few other things I have done (all of them the already tested features from here in the forum) is the front fog lamp dropouts and I have enabled all the settings in the BCM to activate the remote start. I also found a thread here that walked me through how to pull the 4 digit code without having to go to the dealer and possibly have to have a confrontation to get it. Alpha now lets you pull the code right from the trucks RFHub (saved me a trip to the dealer - Yay me!). I have also set the driver and passenger memory mirror present settings, but have not tested those yet. I also have not finished trying to activate the remote start portion on the actual fob yet, but I have found the instructions for it and will be trying that tomorrow and then testing to see if it works.
I have a 2014 1500 5.7 tradesman crew cab.
My question for anyone that can offer any assistance is this, is their any special equipment I need to purchase and install on my '14 Ram to make the remote start work or will just completing the programming for the fob through the RFHUB in Alpha be enough to make it work?
Just curious since I have seen several comments about people needing to purchase certain things to make their remote start work, but I think most of that is referring to the 2018's and up models.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
