AlfaOBD

Wonder if the trailer brake gain limits can be tinkered with in Alphaobd. Seems weird that the limit is only 10v. Wouldn't 12v make more sense?

You need more than you can currently get? I have to keep mine down around 3.5-4 as it is.

Where are you seeing a 10V limit?

Are you assuming 0-10 is volts? It is gain. There is no 11.

you have the option to select "heavy" or "light" trailer breaking in the touch screen apps, I think this will allow more voltage to the trailer

After installing a 50-gallon diesel tank, I was able to update the DTE after changing liters to gallons. Worked like a charm.

So...how to adjust these settings?

So, I was tinkering around with alfaobd for the first time yesterday. I got the current ear display working along with turning off the fog light dropout. Having a little trouble with the DRLs tho. I can't seem to get the DRL settings menu to display on the Uconnect screen and also cant seem to get the quad and signature lights to not dropout in some fashion when the signal lights are on. Any insight? On a Canada spec Limited.

Check these settings and make sure they are set to these values:
ECUConfig 3 DRL Customer Setting Option Present- YES
CBC Features DRL Configuration- OPTIONAL DRL
CBC Features DRL Lamp Location- LOW BEAM DRL
CBC Features DRL Dropout Enabled- NO
CustSetMenu 1 Daytime running lights CSM Present- YES

I'm working through some DRL issues (US truck) but setting DRL Dropout Enabled - NO stops the DRL from dropping completely with a turn signal, but it then alternates flashing with the Signal light.

I actually like that as it also does it with the hazard lights, but would still like to be able to disable DRL from my radio as needed and also keep all the lights off with the truck running if possible. I know form another thread Jimmy is looking into that..

Thx, ill have to try it again when I have some time. On a side note I noticed a feature called "tunnel detection", which is turned off, anyone try it? Also I searched "quad"(quad signature lights) on alfaobd and there is one setting where it appears you could at least turn those off completely, haven't tried it yet tho.

I didn't put much effort into editing (like zooming in) but threw this up from security camera footage in my garage.

I did the fogs with highs and fulltime current gear in drive in the display. Global windows didn't work for me.

Hey bud, whats it called in Alfaodb for fogs with highbeams? Thanks man

Hello , Is there a setting in Alpha to stop the Fog lights from turning on when steering and turn signal.

I added some off road amber lights that are not appropriate for driving.

The only thing you can try is to set these two settings to 10 degrees-
2014 CBC Config I/O: Cornering Lamp Actual Angle
2014 CBC Config I/O: Cornering Lamp Not Actual Angle
If that doesn’t work, then you’ll just have to put the new lights on a separate switch.

So I am trying to disconnect the AlphaOBD harness and my god I cannot determine the mechanism for releasing those tiny connectors from the CANbus blocks. Has anyone done this that can clue me in?

You need a tiny screwdriver and stick it in there. Here is the connector.

Curious if anyone is leaving there OBDLink MX+ installed in their vehicle or do you take it out after programming?

Mine’s been plugged in for 6 months.

This.

Never unplug it, even when it went to the dealer for a wonky EVIC/ESC/FCW issue. I just tucked the OBD connectors without my reader up into the other mess. Issue, AFAIK ended up being the stupid iDrive I had on it.

The flashing blights on mine were distracting to me.
