AlfaOBD: What Is It? If You Have A Ram, You NEED This-Change Dealer Features Yourself!

AlfaOBD App: amzn.to/4bFbT6S
OBDLink MX+: amzn.to/44Moz9J
Have a 2018 and up? You need this bypass: amzn.to/4dIAmKc
Having a Dodge Ram truck is great and all, but if you every change something like headlight bulbs, tires, or LED lighting, you probably have problems. You'll get bulb out warnings, TPMS lights, and all sorts of errors flashing on your dash. If you're tired of it, you need AlfaOBD and OBDLink!
You can change dealer options YOURSELF.
Adding HIDs to your truck? You can do so with NO RESISTORS.
LED lights in the tail lights? No problem.
Adding in factory heated seats? Activate them yourself.
The list goes on and on!

[@josuevillanueva3016]

do you know if it will work with a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic?

[@acypooder1]

I have a 2012 Ram 1500 , i bought the app been using it with a android tablet , it doesn’t seem to offer much for my truck, could you tell me what this app offers older trucks like mine i would appreciate any direction ,

[@jeansandmyshirt]

@@josuevillanueva3016 it won't work on newer ram trucks, the ports locked. search for alfaobd ram trucks on youtube theres a video showing how to unlock its obd port using a special cable.

[@ObaydahIsmail-bs1tv]

hi plz light me is there free way activit rear back camera after install it

[@javiersuarez2011]

There’s anyway to delete MDS on 2012 ram 1500 with this alfaOBD app ???

[@charlescurrent2768]

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.

[@RalphBucci]

THIS is the video I've been looking for to answer my questions that nobody could seem to answer!! I have the 4th gen ram aux panel upgrade and need to program it!!

[@firehawk6188]

Let us know if you were actually able to code it and if it shows up on your info display.

[@lowhy4919]

Been looking for this video, thanks for all the info!

[@kennethhughley1611]

Great video content, I'm glad that I found your channel. It's going to be helpful on my 08 Dodge Ram.

[@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..

[@OffroadTreks]

Thanks dude! A bunch. I'm putting you on social media blast as my source for this.

[@arftejano2284]

This helped me disable the dealer set speed limiter on my promaster

[@z28narrowcamaro]

Excellent job bro !

[@chazpages]

Thanks!

[@HawkEye02088]

This works perfectly on the 2019 RAM 2500. I used the Autel cable to bypass the security gateway module. It is located behind the instrument cluster. Had to remove uconnect system and cluster to get to the cable. Would have probably been easier with the other bypass cable.

[@fixtradingconsulting2935]

for your 2019, did you change TPMS? did you need the dealer 4 digit code,? is it a rolling code? or did you use AlfaOBD to pull the pin?

[@outdoormountainman]

Hey Charles, we love your channel and the very useful information about the Alfaobd app. I have one question about the app download, we purchased it off of Amazon but can't seem to download it and was wondering if there us some sort of protocol as to what way this should be done. Thanks.

[@nathanielgreer7931]

Hello Charles and thank you for posting this video! Will the AlfaOBD work with OBDLink LX?

[@Jlkn93]

Thanks for the video, Charles! Very informative. Do you know of any software like AlfaOBD that works with other automaker brands and is available for Mac OS & iOS? I have a RAM but my wife's vehicle is GM, so I'd like to have one software that works with both. Thanks!

[@travisb2141]

Nice video. Thanks for the links.

[@chazpages]

Thanks! There is a ton to explore for sure

[@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

[@chrissmith3816]

Great video. I have been looking for information on this. Will these work on the 5th gen new body style? And besides the reader and tablet do you need something else to get the obd to bypass whatever is needed to get to work?

[@fathergratwick]

It works well with my original ELM327 obd2 adapter I bought on ebay 7 years ago for $12... I programmed 2 new keys for my ram today.

[@mcrorietube]

Can you make a video or describe process for key making? Thanks

[@bobomomo3764]

Does the one on this video work with forscan windows 10 ? And how via Bluetooth no issue?

[@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

[@lesfitzgerald7483]

Charles do your instructions still hold true for the current 2022 version please? About to embark on the journey to clear indicator issues having put a tray and new led indicator lights the Ram 2500 doesn’t like. Thanks

[@davechampion3495]

Great info thx. Will it allow me to activate an upgraded amp for the radio. Trying to get a 506w amp to work - replacing the original 276w.

[@Tbagels4659]

I have a 2019 Ram 1500 and the astronauts at Chrysler took away the ability to turn on my cargo lights wile driving. That option is most useful when driving with my quad strapped in the bed.

[@assami9736]

Thanks for video, It's work with meddle East Gulf specifications?

[@ricardonino6029]

Have buy the app also

[@ufixit]

Great information. Congrats on your channel success. Any idea if Alfa OBD works with the 2019 and newer Rams? I just bought a 2022 and want to install and activate a trailer brake module. I'm pretty sure the software can do it but the newer trucks have a gateway module. I'm not sure if I need a gateway module bypass in order to make changes through the OBD.

[@ChadAmI80]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@user-jv9cz6eh5x]

Question, have a 2016 1500 I appreciate this video..can you change speed limiter with this obd?

Do I need the PIN Code to deal with the lights or can I just buy what you have listed here? i have a 2020 Ram 1500 Classic. I also heard mention of additional cables. Just want to make sure I get all of what I need to Complete this process of adding LED Headlights.

[@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.

[@bruinjay]

Will these same Alpha OBD procedures, namely tire size and TPMS work on a 2019 Ram 2500 Power Wagon?

[@c3h84ever]

Question, have a 2019 Promaster, in one of the glove boxes there is a card with a 4 digit # for the uconnect, is that the pin ? I appreciate this video..need to get rid of speed limiter Thanks

[@gjman1972]

I came across this video through my research on how to add performance pages to my 2022 RAM 1500 limited like the TRX has and I’ve been learning that alfa obd is involved in this. Could you possibly tell me if this is the case and how do I do it? I assume I need an android tablet and that dongle thing as well? Thank you for any info I appreciate it.

[@joedap2484]

Hey Charles, great video and very well explained. Quick question about the Bypass cable requirements as I am confused and I am sure others maybe as well. I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic, is this bypass cable required? Or, is it only for the New Body Style 1500's? Or, do both models from 2018 - 2020 require this Bypass Cable to e able to modify programming settings? Thank you in advance. Joe

[@chazpages]

Bypass will be required

I have 2021 Ram 1500 Built to Serve and frequently camp in it. I like to sleep in the back seat and use the Auto start to occasionally start the vehicle throughout the night to warm the interior. I have found that I am limited to only 2 restarts and am wondering if the Alpha OBD can change the number of restarts?

[@robertkellyii651]

Do the changes stay in place if you remove the unit? Or does unplugging it negate any chamges made? Can i unlock a 2017 ram 1500 ecu for tuning with this unit?

[@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.

[@paullawrence1092]

Howdy everybody great information in the videos. Quick question, where do I get a bypass cable? I tried everything and the alfaOBD software won’t read my PIN. so I’ve done a little research online and I see something about a bypass cable? Where do I find a bypass cable? Thanks in advance to the group!

[@GlennCannon100]

I bought a lesser expensive obd2 adapter and kept getting a corrupt error after connecting to the truck and when I attempted to turn on the mirror turn signals on my tow mirrors. It connected but wouldn’t make the change. I am returning it and just bought the MX+ with hopes that it will work. Trying to turn on mirror blinkers and puddle lights initially. I’ll try again when I get the MX+. It’s a 2018 Ram. Thanks for a great video!

Hello did you get this resolved? Installed tow mirrors as well and would like to have them activated without going to the dealer

[@laurarosser7258]

Hi Charles, I have an 2015 eco diesel. Will this program allow me to force a regen in the exhaust system? The dealer will get to my truck in about 3-5 days if I want to leave it with them (uhhhmmm no thanks lol). I was told that this software is what the dealer uses. I was wondering if you could please confirm this? Thank you 😊

You shouldn’t need anything-they should auto pair when you start using them. It may take some time, maybe 30 minutes of driving or so?

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.

I have a question I live in Canada would the alfa obd work on changing the tire pressure to psi versus KPA without going into the head unit to change it from metric to US ?

[@jrider85]

Great video. Will this work with a 2019 ram 1500?

[@chazpages]

Is this a classic 2019?

[@uscgmikemike]

Question. I have an Autel scanner and have reset the tpms thresholds. It has the “inflate to x psi” displayed as the threshold I set it at. However the tpms light is still on on the dash and the 4 tires are still showing “red” even though the pressure is above those thresholds. Any advice on getting that to go away? I noticed yours has the exact same issue after you updated yours

Charles, I know this video is old but I was just looking at it. I see in your links that if I have a 2018 I need a separate bypass cable?? Is this still true, if so do I need alpha obd2 app, mx ob2 plug and bypass cable???

[@hansm8900]

I installed the 7" EVIC but the gear indicator does not seem to work like a factory install. I used AlfaOBD to correct the mileage and run hours. The EVIC shows and stays in the gear it's in when I hit the - button on the steering wheel. It will not show the current gear and available gears above that even when I press the + button moving up to 8. The truck continues to perform just like it did with the 3" EVIC.

Hi. Here is a challenge. My 2018 Ram 2500 is deleted. (EFI Live) I just purchased the truck and realize that the Heated Seats, Steering wheel or cooled seats do not work. They are "reded" out as if not an option. However I can activate the drivers eat and steering wheel by selecting the "Turn on with Remote Start" feature. Then I can't turn them off unless I shut the truck off. Is there a place using Alfa OBD that allows that to be turned back ON? Thanks for the time.
