I think it has been brought up but, leaving the bypass cable plugged in to the can block won’t cause a problem at the dealer as long as it’s not hooked into the obd port? I was just planning on tucking mine up out of the way but need to double check as it’s going on tomorrow for the CP4 recall and they will need to flash it.

Yes, this is what I do. I leave mine connected to the CAN blocks and just unplug it from the OBD and hide it up in the dash wiring.

I think the only 2 times I removed it was for the A/C TSB where they had to remove the dash and once when it was doing weird electrical stuff which I now attribute to the iDash I had installed (and since removed).

Ok I did that earlier, out of sight, out of mind!

Does anyone know if we can enable ACC with stop and go on our trucks so it will hold stopped and not cancel after a couple seconds?

No, because the abs module doesn’t have the electronic parking brake needed that makes stop and go possible.

I’ll second that it won’t work. I’ve tried.

It annoys me as my wife’s VW has stop and go even without the electric parking brake. There’s no reason the ABS can’t just keep the brakes engaged.

Yeah, for some reason that’s how Ram decided to have their stop and go function for the 1500’s.
If you repeatedly press the resume button when you come to a stop, it’ll hold, and start going when the car in front starts moving again. So, someone that writes code for comma tried spamming the resume button messages, but it also ended up increasing the set speed each time the resume is spammed.

Looking to change a few things when my 23 arrives. Is it safe to say that I should be good to go to order the bypass cable?

 

[Florotory]

Ive searched google, Forums and FB and so far everything Ive found says no but, most posts were old. Is there a way either in AlfaOBD or other ways to turn off the door chime. Like a lot of other people when detailing the truck its anoying that the chime stays on. THanks

I would like to replace my factory halogen with night edition LED headlights. I need to get the security cable, which is currently unavailable, as well as the OBD MX+ and a windows or android device. I only have Apple iPhones, is there a recommendation on the cheapest device that will work? Is Windows or Android better than the other?

I bought an ONN brand tablet at Walmart the other day for $39 on clearance. Just look for something like that.

If you just have a windows laptop then just buy the cable and software unless you want to be wireless.

I bought the software for both android and windows. I didn’t want to spend $139 for the wireless adaptor right now so I just got the corded one for my laptop and it works just fine. At some point I’ll get the wireless adaptor for the tablet I bought.

Save some money on the MX+ and just get a vLinker MC+.

While AlfaOBD doesn't work on apple, the MC+ could be used with your iPhone with other Apple supported apps.

Your cheapest non-apple option will be an inexpensive android tablet. I'm partial to Samsung tablets, even the cheap ones. https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Andr...fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0&th=1

Did you take advantage of the 2nd version discount?

Yes I did. Figured for ~$28 I might as well

PM me if you need the bypass

Is the Vlinker just as reliable as the MX+? That’s not a bad price if so

 

[The1adman]

Thanks for the advice. I do not have a Window laptop. Sounds like my best bet will be a cheap tablet as Brutal suggested. The kaodtech security bypass is unavailable, is there an alternative that is recommended or wait until kaodtech is available again? Just saw your post Jimmy07. I will message you.

you can get the bypass cable from the Ram AlfaOBD User’s FB group... Matt Dougherty

I have $46 into a wireless bluetooth (android) and wireless wifi (PC) adapter. They are both BAFX units and work perfectly with AlfaOBD. The more expensive OBDII readers are not needed.

I bought the bluetooth one to pull PIN's before AlfaOBD would do it. I probably didn't need to in the long run as I have only used it once.
