RAM RF four digit pin retrieval for key fob and TPMS programming using AlfaOBD

[@carwawiz]

Thanks a lot! After watching this video, I was able to program a second fobik on my 2015 Ram 1500

[@theodorerobertson6230]

Thank you so much sir. I PAID $725 TO GET A REPLACEMENT KEY. BUT IVE HAD ALGA OBD APP SINCE I BOUGHT MMY JEEP AND THE DEALERSHIPS WOULD CHARGE HUNDREDS FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSIS. JUST NEVER KNEW IT GENERATED RHE PIN ALSO

[@One_Mile_Up]

Worked _great_ on my 2017 RAM 2500 Laramie 6.4l HEMI 4x4! Thanks for posting up man... no more annoying TPMS notifications in the dash!!!

[@TheBigBangChannel]

Great,video. Thank you very much sir. Keep up the good work

[@sstocker31]

Two thumbs up👍👍 worked great for me!

[@dassme1]

hi do you have to pay for this app at all ??

[@To-Masz]

This method works with Jeep Cherokee kl 2015? I read the pin from the RFH which has 5 digits. I entered it but suddenly it shows that the pin is 4 digits. alfaobd may not work with cheroekke? Apparently appcar from Windows does it better. Please help.

[@1INSOLENTDOBERMAN]

Did you have to take off the plastic cover below the steering column & hook up a cable or bypass cable and change up some wiring to get that to work?

[@mechanicaldave7981]

I appreciate this video…. Thank you

[@scottpittmam1224]

What happens if it says it "Failed, selrcted service not allowed by this unit???" Im using a ondlink plus ???

[@r.blanco7520]

@@scottpittmam1224 that is the pop-up you get when a module is not present so either you don't have the module or it might be bad.

[@bishopgeorge1333]

Hey thanks a lot I have everything I need but I'm waiting on my bypass cable because I have 2018 but this is going to be one of the first I get.

[@1INSOLENTDOBERMAN]

So even with this Alpha OBD , for a 2018 Ram a bypass cable is still needed & going under the dash behind the plastic cover , hooking up cables or wires is still a must???

[@lostin8986]

@@1INSOLENTDOBERMAN Yes, alphaobd is pretty upfront on the website that a 2018 will require a bypass cable.

[@rubenr511]

I tried this and it DID NOT work. I contacted AlfaOBD support and I've got a reply email from Alexey. The read PIN feature does not work for 2109+ RAM models. He told me that he was working on fixing it but it might take some time.

[@r.blanco7520]

That is correct, I would even dare say 2018 and up.

Can you program a new RF module using Alfaobd

[@r.blanco7520]

I have not tried programming that module but I think it would. I have programmed other modules such as the ABS without any issues.

[@TheShedTuningandPerformance]

Thanks for sharing.

[@SarahPoulin]

For Select Control Unit, I only have WCM options. I have a 2016 Caravan. How do I know which one to pick? For example, do I choose MY2011-17? If so, do I choose Var.1 or Var.2? I can't find any documentation on which selection to make.

[@farmin-fan]

I have this same question. Mine is a 2014 but same issue. Not sure which to choose.

[@SarahPoulin]

@@farmin-fan I ended up choosing Var.2 and everything worked fine.

[@screener545]

$50? LOL its android app. All free. I found the APK online. Seems to work good. Will try tomorrow. $0!!!!! As it should be; Also the fact that there isn't just software available for free to do this is NUTS to me. How do chrysler owners fix their own vehicles if they are locked out? ILLEGAL!

[@screener545]

Confirmed works. For free. Very nice. Chrysler should be sued.

[@Brenden.Riley.]

Couldn’t read pin with my 2021 , says failed . Ecu detected that the request contain parameters with values outside allowable range .

[@r.blanco7520]

2018 and up Chryslers have a little module that won't allow you to access the ECU. I have seen a bypass for that on eBay but I don't know if it works

[@LvDirtJunky]

@@r.blanco7520 I have the bypass for the taser but that’s it . I seen something about there’s one behind the radio for certain things . I’ll just get my pin at the dealer

Mine is a 2014 2500 with push to start button and the message I get is Upload/Download to ECU memory not accepted. Can anyone help me with this

[@r.blanco7520]

Sorry, I haven't played with 2500's. I would check to see if it has a security module and if it does buy a bypass. Other than that I don't know what else to look for hopefully someone else will chime in with more ideas.

[@robertlouera7431]

Mine says the same msg.

[@robertlouera7431]

Did not show any pin

[@joe7528]

Did this work to pull the pin # ? I got the AlphaOBD MX+ and bought the full version app

[@r.blanco7520]

It does. If you have an 18 and up Chryslers product you will need a bypass to access all different modules.

Is this pin number the same as the pin to reset the radio when the battery dies on ram trucks?

[@Mike-01234]

Alfa is okay but after paying $50 for it I found JSCAN can retrieve the key fob pins from older Jeeps ALF has no function for that. Alf is not able to pull the pins also JSCAN is more user friendly I can change the tire size easily on my RAM 2500. Alf is more geared toward techs.

[@lostin8986]

DIdn't this guy literally just post a video about pulling pins via alphaobd? So at what point did you think it had no function for it.

[@Mike-01234]

@@lostin8986I got it to pull the PIN on my 2015 RAM pickup truck. I wasn't able to pull the pin on the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I contacted AlfOBD support they said it won't pull the pins on that model. I contracted JSCAN they said theirs would pull the pins. I haven't paid for JSCAN they want $50 per VIN. We have one working key for the Jeep so at this point just keep using it.

Did NOT work on my 2014 ram 1500

[@r.blanco7520]

My truck is also a 2014 1500 single cab. No sure what to advise related to the process. However, when I replaced the regular speedometer with the 7" screen speedometer I was not able to update the miles from my Android device. So I had to install the Alfa OBD software on my windows computer which is a much more robust platform and then I was able to update the milage. That being said you could try the same, because the process works, there is a chance the device you use has a hiccup in this particular procedure and is not being able to read the pin number.

[@bw7925]

it costs $49.00 for the software
