AlfaOBD

Has anyone deciphered the selections under Battery Type-Battery ID- . It offers ID’s 1-15. My assumption is they would reference Types and/or capacities.

I finally calibrated my speedo for 37s tonight and I can’t believe how much better the AISIN shifts now. Damn I feel like a lazy turd. Found some solid instructions on here including info on clearing the specific fault codes which was super helpful.

Are there any ACC settings available in AlfaOBD? Looking to simmer down the braking/acceleration

Sadly none that anyone has found.

Alright. If I go into preferences and check “Do not verify ECU model” I can finally see stuff (just trying to lower TPMS thresholds lol). But I’m a little nervous by this warning on this checkbox…

Thank you for posting... I have had the same issue and could not get in due to the verification. will try this tonight. I appreciate you working through this with the group!

Good evening all -

I’m having no luck connecting my 2019 PW to AlphaOBD by way of Kaodtech and LinkerMC. I am using Alpha on a Windows 7 laptop and Bluetooth appears to connect to the Linker.

My bypass cable was at first swapped due to Kaodtech changing the wires/bases around but it now has blue/yellow in the connector closest to the drivers seat.

When I try to connect Alpha, it saying it’s trying to connect to CAN then gives me an error that it’s not receiving from the interface.

Any ideas? Thank you for any guidance.

Problem solved - laptop change and we are in business. Fog dropout and current gear done. Ready for 35s now that I can correct speedo!

Ensure you read system ID and then make a backup file.

I have the same colors, I plugged the white plug W blue/yellow wires into the first bus (closest to driver). And the the black plug into the second bus. was able to change head lamps & reverse to LED so far.
Wonder does it matter which one ya plug these into, as long as there not on the same bus?

I searched this thread for "temperature" and didn't find any results. Is it possible to modify the threshold for turning on heat/heated seats/heated steering wheel on remote start? On my 2017 1500 LImited when I used the remote start and it was below 40 degrees, the truck would turn on the heated items automatically. I'm picking up a new truck this weekend and an alfa for the wireless charger install. I would like to enable the heated settings at, say 60 or 55 degrees as opposed to below 40.

I’ve looked around in AlfaOBD and don’t see anything that seems likely to control this, looking at everything with “heat”, “temp”, “remote”, or “threshold” in it.

It’s in the heated seat module which Alfa cannot CAN access. We’re stuck with the shortsighted Ram engineers’ decision of hard coding the heated features on below 40 and cooled seats on above 80.

Edit: See how to find in @Jimmy07 ’s post below.

And only the driver seat... Ugh.

Yeah, that part is the most annoying. I mean, it’s not a problem for me, but my wife doesn’t like the cold seat!

Instead of connecting to the body computer, you’ll connect to the comfort seats and wheel module. That’s where you’ll find the auto on temp limits adjustments:

So we can adjust the temps?!?

Yes

 

[DougB]

Yes

Excellent! I stand corrected.

Just got my bypass cable last week and haven’t had time to get into using AlfaOBD. Looking forward to adjusting tire diameter, TPMS threshold and now this!!

 

[Icky]

Yes

This sold me on getting it, thanks

Regarding how to increase the 85 mph governed cruise control. I know this is an old thread. Can you advise how to get to this menu within the alphaobd s/w? This is probably the most annoying thing on my Ram, second to the weak sub.

Did you read post #1315?
