Programming Question

[GaryDS]

I need to take my truck 2017 Rebel to the dealer to activate a brake controller.

As they are going to charge for an hour of service $125.00, is there anything else I should have them do?

It depends on the dealer. My dealer charged me 60.00 in 2016.

What makes you say that? Looks fine to me.

It was in 3rd gen when I tagged you....but I'll be sure to screenshot it next time

Hmmm...somebody must have moved it before I saw it then.

You don't have to screenshot that stuff. I'll be sure to check to see if a thread or post you tag me in was already moved.

Sorry for the confusion on my part.

For $125 you can almost buy AlfaOBD and the MX+ bluetooth dongle and do it (and a bunch more) yourself.

Purchasing the AlfaOBD looks like the way to go but can I get it for an Iphone or will I need the PC version? If I need the PC version can I still use the MX+?
Also besides setting up my brake module can I program new key fobs. Is there a list of what all I can do?

Guess if I had of read a little more I would had answered my own question

AlfaOBD doesn’t work with iPhone. You’ll need an android device. An old android phone will do as it’s not a particularly complicated program that needs a ton of computing power. If you don’t have access to an android try the el cheapo Amazon Fire tablets, like the most basic one for $40 will work. AlfaOBD on a PC is not an easy program to navigate. I originally purchased the PC version but quickly found out not many people use it so there is little support. Yes you can program new key fobs with AlfaOBD. And yes you can use the MX+ with an android or PC as well as use it as a basic OBD reader with an iPhone on other vehicles.

I decided to go with my pc and saved money and went with the cable.

I’ve had HP Tunners for many years and have never changed from using the cable. I just route it out of the way if I’m scanning while driving.
