Here's a roll-up thread for posting links to any successful DIY Sales code mod and AlfaOBD settings required (or not) and common AlfaOBD settings only mods.
This is NOT a How-To or Q&A for AlfaOBD or discussion thread. Links and settings only please.
TL;DR If you're not here to contribute, you can probably skip the rest and just look down to the lists. Please don't clutter the thread with comments unless you wish to contribute. Questions will be moved to a related thread.
Common AlfaOBD questions
Q: What do I need to use AlfaOBD?
A: AlfaOBD Android or AlfaOBD Windows, a bypass cable (KAOdTECH recommended), a Windows PC or Android phone/tablet, a supported OBD Reader or cable (OBDLink MX+ or Vlinker MC+ recommended)
AlfaOBD offers a discount for a second license. Some features may be available in only the Windows version.
Q: Where do I plug in the KAOdTECH Bylass cable?
See this post: https://hdrams.com/forum/index.php?...module-location-for-programmer.440/post-26099
Q: Can I enable Global Window Down?
Q: Can I enable Auto-folding Mirrors?
A: No. Door modules in the 2019-2022 HD trucks do not support Global Up/Down or Auto Folding Mirrors.
Third party "active" modules like the Tazer-RAM may have these features but AlfaOBD is passive and can only change BCM settings, and only affects supported module(s) functions.
AlfaOBD can change only BCM settings*. Not all BCM settings shown in AlfaOBD may be supported by your truck.
ECM*/TCM, Radio modules cannot be recoded by AlfaOBD. There are some diagnostic procedures supported (ABS initialization procedure may be required for tire size change), clearing codes, etc.
* There's a few ECM options that can be changed (idle timer). Use with extreme caution.

While there's already an AlfaOBD thread, it seems many mods and settings are scattered to the four winds and there's always a lot of repeat requests for the same info, partly because people don't search. Here's a post you can direct everyone to if you don't have the info handy. The most popular and lengthy mods are usually already a sticky. Particularly those that were a group effort to develop. Not everyone has, or needs to, read through an entire discovery thread just for one quick settings change.
If you contribute, I'd prefer these are links to HDRams posts if one exists. If there's one elsewhere that deserves a link, please consider creating your own post with the info and providing the link (with credit if appropriate) or if absolutely necessary, an off-site link.
For simple, one-off AlfaOBD changes, just describe it and show the setting, link optional. If it's lengthy, see above and link or create a thread. Members posting the answer to a question may get a mention (type @membername... until they show and then select it).
One of the staff will update the first post as others are added. If you add a post and don't see it show up in the summary #1 post after a few days, please REPORT your post and ask that it be added.

Make a backup of your original BCM configuration before making any changes.
