awesome video man, just got my alfaobd today and havent stopped watching your videos, just a heads up I did the drl and waited maybe a minute instead of the 5 mins then tried it and it worked, on to the global windows now

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Nice! I use five minutes in the videos because that's kind of the consensus in the alphaOBD forum. (safe spot) glad you're digging the videos bro! Thanks for the support.

@@bigtom388 Yes sir! RAM FORUM www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/ sign up. Best group of people you will ever meet. They gave me the knowledge to do the videos I create on this channel. Chime in and say big daddy's house sent me. 😉

[@nsboost]

I never waited all that time either. Never an issue. I think 5 mim is just a time that people.pulled out of their hat and said "this should be safe". So.. you can go the safe route... But really... 20-30 seconds is probably plenty long

[@tadawsonX]

@@nsboostFWIW, non volatile memory (what stores the options) writes in milliseconds. Any wait is either "derp factor" (likely) or waiting for a change to propagate (if other modules need to update). I've never seen any other OBD based tool need a wait, and since this is still OBD, doubt this does either . . .

[@michaeloltman657]

Thanks for the videos. I just got the alfaodb this week and I'm going through your videos doing what I can. Since i was home by myself I just Pulled up to a neighbors car so I could see the reflection of the lights to check the DRL's. Great work on the videos.

Hey Big D. Thanks for the lead to ram alphaobd forum. I ve accomplished a few things. DRL is now on and I've also added menu item in settings-lights that allow me to turn them off. Also, for those having the annoying weather alerts. Turn off/disable Travel links with alphaobd. Fixed it for me. No more alerts. Thanks again Big D. Still searching tho for auto folding mirrors.

Adam, on my last Ram service the dealer upgraded my system so that if I open my door while in drive or reverse the truck goes into park automatically as a safety upgrade. I did the alfaobd DRL thing and to check them all I have to do is put it into reverse with the brake on then open the door let off the brake and the truck goes into park while the shifter is still in reverse. I can get out and my DRL's will be on so I can check them. 2015 RAM 1500 express

[@SC2Racer]

Great video ! I'm going to do the same with my ram . Question, did you have to do anything with bypassing the security gateway ? . Some brand say the 12+8 autel cable is required . Can you chime in on this please ? Thanks !

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Drew, I don't need the bypass cable cuz I have a 2014. You only need to bypass cable if you own a 2018 or newer 4gen ram. Thanks for watching brother

[@kingbran923]

Ive had two different RAM dealers tell me this isn't possible on my 2019 RAM 1500 Classic Lonestar yet I just watched a man on KZbin do it on a similar truck. I already ordered the bypass cable from the gentlemen on the RAM forums, I can't wait to prove the Dealer wrong with their smug attitudes.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

It may not be possible for the dealer because when they put in your vin some things are grayed out that they cannot do. With AlfaOBD all options are available. The only downfall is you have to be very careful what you change because it may not have been an option for your truck / car. You educate them though Brandon! Happy Modding and thanks for your support!

[@willianpolidoro6123]

Hey Bro... thanks for the videos. Question.. is there any way to keep the dlr on when headlight is also on?

[@AB-mg8zs]

@big daddy's house thanks for the tutorials. I just reprogrammed my tire sizes and I was not waiting 5 minutes in-between operations with the key cycled off. How important is that step in the procedure? To leave vehicle off for 5 minutes? Have you or anyone else went to maybe 30 seconds instead of 5 min?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey A B, It really depends on the vehicle and also what setting you change. I use the 5 minutes in my videos because it is what was recommended when this tool first came out. For some people 30 seconds and/or cycling the truck on and off a few times typically does the trick. Thanks for watching and your support!

[@rccentral05]

Awesome video but I am curious what stereo display do you have in there????

I got switchbacks laying in my garage so I can try just that! I have a bunch of videos lined up already but hopefully I can get that out in the next month or two. Thanks for watching

[@garyludwig6943]

Yes, you need to extend a pigtail wire from the OLED to extend outside the headlight assembly and tap into your fuse box with a hot lead that is powered only when the vehicle is running. I have a 2016 RAM with DD switchbacks and that's how I enabled them. No issues for over two years.

Unfortunately until Alexey from AlfaOBD enables parking lamps as DRL they will always be amber sir. If you don't like them amber, yeah, you can always switch settings around to make them fog or low/ high beams. This has been a struggle with switchbacks, making DRL white.

Hey andrew cavanaugh, thanks for the compliment. I have had the exact struggle for 3 years. Apparently as of now there is no way to change that.

[@AR-du4ty]

If I were to purchase the headlamp assembly like yours with the OLED drl’s , after installing them and not changing the turn signal bulbs to led’s and leaving them halogen. Would a) the oled drl strip work and b) would i receive any error messages in cluster c) would I need to buy one of those Obd units? Thanks in advance my dude

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Anthony, thanks for your support first off... So question (a) yes, the OLED strip will work without AlfaOBD. I tapped into the parking lights. (B) NO error message will be received if you have the 3.5 Evic. If you upgraded to the 7 inch evic, you will get a bulb out message. This is something I've been dealing with for a while. I think I'm just going to run the line to the ACC. Question (c) AlfaOBD is not required to install these headlights as long as you stick to the original halogen setup.. Hope this helps brother have fun modding this badass truck!

Hey Kalen, thanks for your support! So my OLED's are not DRL's because I have them tapped into the parking lights. And as of yet, alfaOBD does not have a setting for parking lights.....(sigh) I thought about tapping into the ACC position so the OLED's are always on. We'll see. maybe I'll make a video about that one day.

Been meaning to do this. I have the same headlights and connected led bar to the parking light for power like the instructions recommended. Do you know if its possible to use the led bar as your DRL? I'm driving 2018 tradesman with 7 inch evic. I just saw in another comment you said you are having issues with that? Edit, guess I solved this mystery. No way to make them DRL unless I tap into something else.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Starks, It does depend on what you tap into. I happened to tap into my parking lights and I'm probably going to change this to ACC. Because when I installed my 7-in eVic I get that stupid error message and I can't figure out anyway to get rid of it. I've tried a bunch of things. So my conclusion is rewiring to the ACC position. But if I remember correctly alfaOBD did have a value called light bar for DRL. However I don't know what pin this is attached to.

Hi I have watched this video before. I had drl activated on my 2010 and used my fog lights. This has worked. However I decided to switch my drl to high beam location. And now I can't get them to illuminate. Truck is a USA version.

[@dustincarter2123]

So a little off subject, I have a t style radio like you have and ever since I installed it my factory remote start has not worked. Have you had that same problem if so how'd you fix? Thanks.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Dustin, sorry for the late reply. My truck didn't come with factory remote start I put in aftermarket. So no I never had that problem. I also have really never heard of that problem that anybody had mentioned in the ramforum. But it'll be worth it to shoot that question there www.ramforum.com/ see if anybody has a possible fix for it. FYI I have accidentally disengaged my remote start by cycling the key on and off 5 times. Apparently this puts the truck in valet mode. Could it be possible you did this by accident. To reverse it you just cycle the key on and off 5 times again. Hope this helps brother

[@robertosilva9392]

my DRL aftermarket wont turn on, comes with two connectors which lead to the main connector. high and low beam work but not the drl, should this app be able to fix the problem?

[@thakingzilla3430]

I have a 16 sport and ive tried enabling the DRL to the turn signal, are they supposed to be lit at all times? I dont see a difference and thinking its not taking the changes.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

DRL only activates while in drive. So you can only see the light if you have someone else in the truck and have them put in drive. E brake must be disengaged also. Even in drive, if the e-brake is on the lights will disengage. Hope this helps. Thanks for subbing!

Hey Carlos, The spyder tail lights, I installed in my other video, which I assume you were talking about have resistors already installed in them. So if you're using afaOBD You need to revert back to halogen. That should clear up all your codes.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Andrew, It is working the way it should. I have the same problem because alfaOBD doesn't offer this function for the parking lights. It offers DRL for the turn signal lights (which are amber) A lot of us have been waiting years for an update, so we can enable parking lights as DRL. Then it would be the white light.

Hey Rick! So from experience i can tell you no codes will be thrown if you have the 3. 5" Evic. Soon as i installed my 7" Evic i got 2 codes. I plan on fixing this soon by tapping into the ACC in the fuse box instead of the parking lights. Another note, these headlights will only work for quads not for factory projectors.

Hey Dk_719, sorry for the late reply brother. I honestly don't know the answer to that. If it's on the same circuit as the running lights they definitely will turn on. You can always enable it and if you hate it just disable it. If you decide to give it a shot let me know how it turns out.

Do you know what the difference is between Canada/ Europe/ Optional DRL?

Great question! Optional means just that. gives you the option to turn it on or off at will. In Canada it is law they have to have DRL on all the time. So there is no option to turn it off. I'm not really sure what Europe has going on though maybe somebody else can chime in.

Hey Adam it’s me once again. Two things DRL still a no go, so question is did you have to turn on DRL in the radio or the cust fiction in OBD and if you did does it show on the console of the Tesla screen? And since I’m on here led turn signal solutions that you give me before still not working I have used the same bulbs as you since they are working for you since the lights are the same. Starting to think pervious owner wired the lights differently is my issue. Also have you had to add any resistors to stop the switch back low voltage drop out?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Nathan, I just responded to one of your other questions you asked last week, sorry it took so long to get back to you. So in my Tesla style radio I do not see DRL in my functions. I turn it on with alfaOBD and it just flat out worked. are you keeping track of all the changes you're making so you revert back? So in my particular situation I'm still getting the bulb out on my front turn signals. I think for me it is because I tap the Oleds into my parking lights. I am pretty soon here going to figure out a different way to rewire them so that message goes away. I never had a message when I installed them because I had a 3.5 inch eVic and it is less picky. But soon as I put in the 7-in premium eVic all the sudden it lit up with errors. So I guess my question is are you sure it is your switchbacks? Have you tried taking the switchbacks out and putting regular halogen bulbs in to see if the air goes away. Where did you tap your OLEDs into? This is definitely one of those problems that you think is one thing but it's definitely another. Also are you in the RAM forum? If not here's the alfaOBD thread. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 Don't be afraid to ask questions is a ton of intelligent people on there.

[@leviethan64]

Do the drl work when in auto mode? Just trying to figure mine out

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Yes it works in auto. However if you have the Tesla style radio, there was an early bug in it where it kept the headlights on all the time. So in this case you would never see the DRLs because the headlights would be on. Phoenix automotive has a fix for it that you can download to a USB and then upload the file to your Tesla style stereo. Hope this information helps out man.

Hello, I installed aftermarket LED headlights w/daytime running light halos on my Canadian built 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The DRL halos work when the car is in park, however, when the car is in drive the high beams come on. Will the AlfaOBD/OBDLink MX+ allow me to program the headlights so the DRL's work properly when the car is in drive (ie. the high beams don't come on)? Thanks.

The short answer is yes, however you said Canadian and if I remember right, it is the law in Canada for daytime running lights to be set as headlights. So changing it would be at your own risk of getting a ticket. Thanks for watching
