I see the file in my google drive on a fire tablet but nothing shows unless it takes a minute....did I do something wrong as I just have a white screen?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Justin, So after you connect alfaOBD, You go to the two tools that are crisscrossed on the top right hand corner. Then hit View faults and status log. Then tap BODY_CHRYSLER_info That should populate every setting that your truck has. Then make sure you are signed in to the Google drive app and then tap upload to Google drive. if that doesn't work for some reason you could always save it to email, there's that option also. I know for a while alfaOBD had bug and it was a problem trying to upload to Google drive. I know somebody came up with a work around in the RAM forum. Look on page 1. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 There is a ton of information on this thread. If what I suggested doesn't fix the problem, you can always ask a question in the RAM forum. Maybe somebody else has a different solution that will work. Let me know how it turns out. I'll see you in the Ram forum and thanks for your support brother!

You can do both but i HIGHLY RECOMMEND upload to Google drive before doing any changes that way something happens and causes issues you can go back to factory settings or to previous settings before you made changes not only that but you can print off your log from Google drive so you have a handy log book in hand instead of back and forth between the apps it makes it so much easier to print off than jumping back and forth

Sorry yasel you can not. You'll either need to get a pedal commander or a tuner to do that. Keep in mind though if you get a tuner you will only be able to increase it by 20%. And you will not be able to increase or decrease it on the fly. This is because you have to write a tune every time you want to change those parameters. A pedal commander though is plug and play. It can't be increased or decreased anytime your vehicle is in idol. And the sport plus plus mode is insane. I actually have videos on how to do both.

If for some reason that doesn't work then you can always hit the function to email it to yourself and then from email, if you want, you can save it to Google drive.

@@bigdaddyshouse Okay thanks for the help man, I got it to work. The other issue I'm having has to do with my lights which I could use some help with. I know you have videos on using leds but I'm not seeing any of the same settings for my dodge dart. I'm trying to get rid of the bulb out error for my license plate light because it is led but the only led options that I see are for turn signals and more importantly I want to get rid of my high beam/low beam headlight out errors for my HIDs but dont see any hid settings other than "xenon headlamps" which I tried to enable but keeps failing saying "ecu detected parameters with values outside allowable range". Only other setting close to that is "headlamp led management" but I tried that too and am still getting these canbus errors. I've tried it multiple times as well as clearing the BCM fault codes with alfaobd, but they always come right back. I haven't even been able to get resistors to work for my HIDs for some reason, maybe I'm doing something wrong but this sucks. Also my hid wiring harness only hooks up to one side of the factory bulb harness, thought maybe that's part of it but apparently that's just how they're all designed.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

so enabling xenon is correct for HIDs but you also have to remove the ballast and any resistors that are involved in the HIDs. You don't need them. Having them in is whats causing your error.

[@ColtonBarrett]

@@bigdaddyshouse I didn't think I could remove the ballasts, my car's factory headlights weren't originally meant for HIDS but you're saying if I just unplug them from the ballasts/rest of wiring harness, and try plugging them directly into the factory harness, then run the "Xenon" procedure it should work? Suppose I can try that and see if it does the trick. What about the LEDs for my license plate, any idea? I don't see any settings for that other than what I've already mentioned.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Yep that's exactly what we do in the RAM forum. what you're basically doing is telling the PCM that you already have HIDs so it doesn't need all that other BS. Just plug it into the factory wiring set alfa and you should be good to go. (Well, for the Ram this is true) And for the LED license plate you may have to go with canbus safe LED's if there's no option in alfaOBD. I'm not familiar with messing around in the settings with Dodge dart but let me fire up the app and see if I can find anything. I'll check back in a moment.

Mine reads the system, but when I go to save it to Google drive it says, "no data available."

Hey Ernest Loyer, you have to watch the video all the way through. @10:45 there's an extra step if it's showing a blank screen.

[@JentleRain]

@@bigdaddyshouse Not a blank screen. It connected fine and I can see everything. The bottom of the screen was saying "no data available" when I went to upload to GD. I just connected and reconnected a few times, and it finally worked. Grabbed my pin while I was in there. Thanks for your videos, I plan on doing some 'schtuff' to my 2016 Big Horn.

So when I upload to Google drive it's just blank. I can read everything in the app though.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Matt, assuming you have the newest updated version of alfaOBD, try this. First selected view faults and status log. Then upload to Google drive. but before you do any of that, make sure you have downloaded the Google drive app and signed into it. If for some reason that doesn't work then you can always hit the function to email it to yourself and then from email, if you want, you can save it to Google drive. And if for some other crazy reason that doesn't work, Read page one of the alfaOBD thread in the RAM forum. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 I remember somebody posting another workaround fix, I think.

Hey Chris, that can in fact be accomplished. however you're going to have to spend some money on parts to make it happen. Here's the link to the RAM forum. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 If I remember right, in post one, it shows how to do this for tip to start. Don't be afraid to ask some questions on that forum. bunch nice people. Keep me updated on the progress brother!

[@summit265]

Hello I down loaded the free app but it’s only a demo . Is there another free app or do you have to pay for it ? Thx my brother!

[@bigdaddyshouse]

The free version will allow you to do diagnostics only. So yes, you will need to pay for the full version to make any changes. I think it was $50. That sounds like a lot of money for a Google app but it is the best 50 bucks I ever spent on my truck! Hope this helps brother Happy Modding!

Why are you not using the Android stereo instead of you phone?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

I tried it for fun it doesn't work. The reason is, it's more like an Android Appliance and not an Android device. So basically it can receive signals and understand them but it will not send.... Good question Brody. Thanks for the support

[@gregorywilliams5127]

I’ve followed this video to the letter and everything goes exactly as you say it should except Google drive doesn’t have anything in it.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

So after you connect alfaOBD, You go to the two tools that are crisscrossed on the top right hand corner. Then hit View faults and status log. Then tap BODY_CHRYSLER_info That should populate every setting that your truck has. Then make sure you are signed in to the Google drive app and then tap upload to Google drive. if that doesn't work for some reason you could always save it to email, there's that option also. for a while alfaOBD had bug and it was a problem trying to upload to Google drive. I know somebody came up with a work around in the RAM forum. Look on page 1. www.ramforum.com/thread/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 There is a ton of information on this thread.

Hey Fred, that's a good point. I've never actually used the PC version cuz I'm too cheap to pay the extra 50 bucks for it. Lol But I've seen screenshots and whatnot on the RAM forum. It is definitely a different beast. I hear it is also faster at making changes and sometimes more accurate especially if you're changing your mileage and hours. Thanks for the comment brother.
