Great info. I ordered the MX+ on Amazon and got it overnight and downloaded the Alfa program to my laptop and was able to install and program a used replacement ABS module that I got on Ebay in about 3 hours (including beer breaks) today. And now I have everything I need for next time. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@lard1892]

OBDLink MX($150) is a waste of money.... $15 for ELM 327 v1.3> works just as good.

[@fathergratwick]

I also was able to use Alpha OBD to turn on the factory backup camera option on my stock 2015 ram stereo and connected a $65 amazon camera kit to it via pins #31 for camera signal and #32 for rca shielding signal..

[@malquid3811]

Yes and yes

[@larryconn7400]

Charles. You talk about programming a fob using ALFA obd and obd link. I have a 2015 Ram 1500. I bought it used and it only came with one fob. I got a brand new 5 button fob off eBay. I also have the 4 digit code from the dealer. My Ram fob has lock/unlock,panic , remote start and suspension lowering. I can’t seemed to find a video describing how to do the programming using ALFA obd.

[@larryconn7400]

I actually kept scrolling and found my answer in another comment. Only difference is I have a push button start. With the key fob walkthrough on the forum it showed using the baseline system but I had to use high line system. Then I had to actually start my truck from the inside to reset my remote start. It was very easy.

[@richarddovala7862]

Great Video I have a 2018 Ram Laramie 1500 and installed the Factory Trailer Brake Control Module, I have the OBD Max+ and the Alpha OBD on my Tablet and I hope the correct module bypass cable, not certain where to go and how to get truck to recognize the trailer Brake module, I put my Snap-On scanner on and it indicates data when I move the slide and push plus or minus, so I know it is there, I need instruction on Alphaobd module set up. Thanks so much

[@tallll70]

I wish i can find option to use amber front and taillights when open door just like Ford has it. To me that's clever idea to stay safer at night. I was almost deciding to use relay, control wire it on mirror lights and put first light switch position on it's contact points...i would like to also remove forced ac on when blowing on windshield and disable all switching to default after climate or engine start, those things drive me nuts, i set fresh air and it gets always reset to circulation with every engine start

[@mwc8711]

Have a 15 2500 tradesman and I'm getting the following message with the OBDlink mx+ any advise I'm told this is a AlfaOBD software issue not the OBDlink mx+ device. If AlfaOBD displays a message "Interface reports NO DATA" or "Interface reports CAN ERROR" when connecting to the car ECU, this is most probably a sign that you have one of these defective interfaces. Such an interface might work fine with other diagnostic software using OBDII/EOBD protocol, but it can have issues with AlfaOBD because of a different diagnostic protocol used. It is recommended to use an ELM327 interface tested with AlfaOBD.
