AlfaOBD

There’s new updates for both versions. If somebody has a 2019-2020 with the windows version, and wants to see if trailer light check will work, connect and switch to MY2021 and try these settings:
VehConfig 8: Trailer Light Check Cycle Present- YES
CBC Config I/O: Trailer light check cycles- 31

Why 31?

;-)
 
Any idea how many key cycles to show up? Not seeing anything with trailer plugged in and 3 key cycles.
I’m not sure, but usually, settings that have to do with adding features/menus/screens to the EVIC are pretty much immediate.

Bummer, I made this change too and I'm not seeing any change in the display.
 
I’m trying to lower my tire pressure threshold with the alpha obd and I’m following the instructions I’ve gotten from this forum and others(basically all the same). My problem is that when I put my dealer supplied PIN number in and press start I get a “procedure failed” notice. And the following comment about Fobik not being in the vehicle.
My key fob is sitting in my cupholder or on my console when I’m doing this
Any idea why it’s not working?
This is on a 2021 ram 2500

The PIN doesn’t work on 2019+ HD Rams. You do not have to do the RF Hub reset on your truck. Just set the thresholds, and the rf hub will automatically pick up the new ones.
 
@Jimm07 I have read that the AlphaOBD can not program windows and mirrors to auto fold and such on the HD's-'19 & '20's due to the door modules. Do you know if there has been a change to the '21's that this might now work?
Thank you in advance.....

Oh man thank you! I was racking my head over this as somehow with all my research I failed to catch that the newer trucks don’t need the pin. I physically lowered my tire pressures before bed last night so I’ll see how the commute goes this morning.

I installed power fold mirrors on my 2019 Tradesman along with the proper door modules and enabled them with AlphaOBD. They work perfectly.

So what are the proper door modules??? Please elaborate I am sure I am not the only one curious as to how you did this.

He may have misunderstood what you’re trying to do. The global windows down has always been hit or miss on the 4th gens, and I don’t think anyone has reported it working at all on the 2019+ Rams. Auto folding mirrors doesn’t work on Ram trucks, either.
 
I wonder if the Off-Road Pages of the 2021s will show up. I'll try the light check on my 20 as soon as I finally plug all this stuff into it.

I haven't tried the global windows down, but the auto folding mirrors does work with the live functions of the Tazer. I haven't tried AlfaOBD.

We’re speaking specifically about AlfaOBD, because if the feature were to work, auto fold would operate like factory (such as the grand Cherokees)- setting in the radio to toggle on and off, the mirrors fold when the truck is remotely locked, and unfold when remotely unlocked.
Tazer needs to be plugged in because it has to modify messages, and folds them when the engine is shut off, unfolds when engine is started.
 
Newbie here. Just read all posts and didn't see this. I just hooked up the KAOD bypass for use with AlfaOBD and using the OBD Link MX+. Question is, should my check engine light be on?
