AlfaOBD How To Export Logs-The First Thing You Should Do

[@rembocanoe66]

I purchased a new PCM for a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. Can AlfaOBD transfer the old info to the new PCM? Do you know the procedures for that? Do you have it on video or PDF? thanks

[@jaysonwheat2344]

I have a 2017 ram 1500 sport. I upgraded to the uaq stereo, trailer brake controller as well as the Mopar cold air intake with induction hood. Can you do a video or tell me hi to add these items with this setup?

[@joe8883]

I just installed the trailer brake and tow mirrors with puddle lights, I haven’t really explored the obd bc I just got it but a video on those would help a lot.

[@muko2002]

Joe Merica where did you got your tow mirrors ?

[@mr.p135]

Can you change the fuel tank size??

[@lexo1517]

Charles thanks for turning me onto the Alfa OBD. Need help. Bought new fob on ebay (good price). However, in baseline programming Alfa says "FOBIK not blank". Anyway to fix this? 2013 2500 ST. Thanks

[@robertlouera7431]

Hey bro were you able to program the keyfob?? I know it has been a year already since you posted the comment

Can you please please help me finding some pc version instructions as you gentleman's mentioned it's totally different. Just wanted to activate the remote start on a Dodge charger 17 after bypassed the hood latch switch.

Can you raise the speed limiter from 105 to 120 with this

[@chazpages]

Hmm, not sure. I'll take a look next time I'm in the settings.

[@joe7528]

That's in the ECM not in the BCM if you have a 2015 - current the ECM is locked only way around that lock is to buy a unlocked one and have it programmed

[@kevinmurphy5909]

Please help I have a 2018 ram 1500 sport i must have changed a setting trying to turn off the bulb out error for rear turn sinals, and now both my rear turn signals do not work at all. Do you know what setting in alpha obd i may have made a mistake with. I checked the wire with a amp reader it isnt even getting a signal all other blinkers (front and mirrors) work so it has to be some setting with the rear.

[@markgarcia6418]

For some reason alpha will not let me save to Google drive. Says there is no data. Everything else works fine but can not view logs and can't download to Google drive. Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing?

[@andreykichuk]

Does this work same way on 2022 ram?

[@rogerstewart5140]

My 2022 challenger don't have lights on uconnect. I wonder why

[@rogerstewart5140]

I have a Question for you. When I go to download it to Google drive. Then when I try to print it. It's about 200 pages or so. What am I doing wrong on this?

How do you enable paddle shifters on a 2018 Challenger SXT Plus? I'm going to install the factory paddle shifters.

[@chazpages]

I’ll have to check my logs, I “think” I’ve seen a paddle shifter present/not that can be changed

[@codywinkler2535]

I’ve read this can be used to change your mileage? I got a new gage cluster to upgrade to a Laramie cluster and the mileage on the new cluster is way off compared to my trucks original cluster. Can this be used to change

[@chazpages]

No, typically the seller will reprogram for you. Well, I haven't found a way in alfa anyway (or seen anyone else do it).

[@joe7528]

Yes you can change the mileage make sure you wright down the current mileage, idol time , drive time in some cases you will need your 4 pin # to make changes there's a video on how to do this with AlphaOBD or you can use chrysler pin puller app

[@rickgifford42]

You said for the 2018 you were going to post the mod required, I do not see it.

Charles ...can this log file be uploaded in case of catastrophe or is it just a reference

[@superargo4701]

Does Alphaobd have the capability to update a new ABS module installation, so that the ECU recognizes it?

[@rickgifford42]

What do you choose as a model number in Body computer if you have a 2018? MY2016-17 PowerNet? Or is there a 2018 choice?

[@chazpages]

I'll have to check when I plug in next, but only one will work. If you try the wrong one it won't connect. Might be trial and error.

[@joe7528]

If you have 2018 - current you will need the security bypass harness to do anything with AlphaOBD

What were you trying to change or do? You can clear those errors yourself, but I'd try to figure out why they came on in the first place.

[@jeffreywilliams3980]

Can you use more than one truck with this

[@chazpages]

Jeffrey Williams yes! It isn’t locked to one truck. Obviously some features that require a pin will require the specific pin for each truck from the dealer, but Alfa/obd isn’t locked to a vehicle.

[@precisionmarksmanshiphq773]

Will this work the same for 2022 models? Anyone do this yet?

[@bricksquad601]

It works literally just changed my tpms threshold and drop out fog lights

Printing off your current settings from Google drive will definitely save you time instead of flip flopping through both apps so keep that in mind

[@ericstyer2890]

Hey Charles, I appreciate the vids I’ve seen thus far. Last night I took the Alfaobd for a test try and in doing so created several DTCs. I’ve found write ups on some people that had the same issue but for the sake of sharing after a tire size change I had, Service Trailer Brake, Service ABS, Service Electronic Throttle Control, and my speedometer did not work. I found a post on a random forum that said to run an ABS Initialization, which prompts you to run several other tests. I followed those steps but the ABS Initialization “Start” command was not available for me to press, it was greyed out. The other steps worked and that cleared the ABS light, TC light, and my speedometer came back online oh yea and my grid lines for my backup camera came back. The only fault left that is concerning to me is the Electronic Throttle Control. I’ve found a few other posts where guys reference it as a generic code but nonetheless I want to get rid of it. The only thing I did on the engine module last night was tried a Ram Air box actuator test. I didn’t change any settings. It’s worth noting that the ABS and TC lights have been intermittent before using the software. They’re part of why I got it. I already had the ABS module and HCU warrantied 3 years ago. It acts like it did when that happened. Of course the warranty for that is no longer in place hence the purchase of the OBDLink MX+ and Alfaobd software. I’m running a Fire Tablet HD 10 converted to an Android tablet after I saw your vid I thought that was a clean way to interact with all this, better than cables. My trucks a 2017 2500 6.7 4x4 Tradesmen w/ factory remote start. Sorry to dump all that info, just want to get rid of the ETC light. Seems like going into the various modules and deleting faults is worthwhile. I still don’t understand if the ABS Initialization or initiation whatever, was supposed to be available to “Start” or if that’s got to do with my ETC issue. Or perhaps since it’s a 17 I was in the wrong BCM all together since 2 are available? Anyhow am lost at the moment and searching wildly for a way to get rid of the new ETC light issue. Thanks!
