AlfaOBD

[BraveSamWise]

Is there a way to use a Mac or iPhone to use the alphaOBD stuff? I saw it’s android/windows. But I dont have anything running either of those in my house.….

Nope. Some folks buy a cheap tablet from Amazon or eBay.

Use Jscan instead, then.

Can Jscan do everything Alpha can? I’m a Mac guy and hate to buy another device

I'm pretty sure the Unabomber wasn't a mac or windows guy.

Close, but not everything. It doesn’t have all the settings to do more complicated things like surround view or adaptive headlights, but all the popular ones are there. The developer has been adding more things for Rams recently, as his initial focus was the wranglers and gladiators.

I’m just looking to do basic stuff like turn off annoying dings and possibly change fuel tank size, etc. I’m hoping Jscan can do this.

I also in a video where they recommended making a back up of your OEM programing and your new programing to make restoration easier. Reference Alpha OBD do you need the windows version to do that, or can you do it on an Android device?

You can back up your settings in both versions of AlfaOBD

I used to run Parallels on my Macs many moons again.

I still have a copy of windows but I don’t own a disk drive to install it any more. Not a single one on the house.

Does anyone have a video on installing the TTPMS modules on a 2019+ ram truck? I used alphaoBD to make the changes but installing the two modules is what I need help with. I have the one in the back completed, by the spare tire. However the one above the headliner, passenger rear side, is causing me issue as I don’t want to break any of the plastic.

Refer to the thread TTPMS. Full instructions and links to documents are there. It is a long thread. Start from the top.

TPMS (TIS) sensors for trailer (SOLVED - see 1st post) aka TTPMS - Trailer TPMS

Has anyone bought/installed the tire pressure sensors on a towed trailer that can be viewed on the driver information center after being configured in the UConnect? Specifically for the 3500. I am looking for the part number for the sensor. I've tried a couple of dealers and yesterday chatted...

Try this:
Connect to the instrument cluster > MY2013+ powernet > active diagnostics (car with hood open) > program customer features > fleet pin reset

I assume you can turn off seatbelt chime with Alfa or Jscan?

 

[Crusty old shellback]

Not sure that can be turned off. I just use a seat belt extender and plug that in to stop the chime when I'm off road bouncing around and get tired of the seat belt tightening up, so I take it off.

 

[Jimmy07]

No, but you can just use the standard manual method- key in run with seatbelt buckled, unbuckle/buckle three times.

Thank! Saving that. Didn’t know about it.

Sorry, key just to run but not started? How do you do that with keyless ignition?
