KAODtech bypass

[IvanDeSlaer]

I just connected my bypass on my 2019 2500 RAM per the destructions. I'm waiting for OBDlink but I took my scantool and I wasn't able to talk to the truck anymore. Is this normal? I did the search a few different ways but I wasn't able to find an answer.
Thanks in advance.

are the wires still color coded to the terminal block base colors? they used to have a heat shrink wrap rotating which side each plug goes to.

This is what I have. The blocks are green/black & green/white. I installed the white connector to the G/W and the black connector to G/B. Then the male OBD to the truck. My scantool to the OBD on the harness and it won't talk to the truck. Am I missing something?

I reversed the previous installation and now everything works. I installed the BLK connector to the G/W block and the WHT connector to G/B block.

It's the wire colors that matter*.

It's literally posted in a pic in the 1st post in the ALFAOBD sticky thread.

* Seems one wire color can be different on the GRN/WH (GRN/PNK), but YEL/BLU goes to the BLACK base CANBUS block nearest the headlight switch (dash).

I don't understand why TF he's building these with the black/white connectors back-assward and useless dated instructions. It causes no end of confusion here.

Has anyone played with AlfaOBD on their 2019 HD's yet? I'm curious if anything is accessible to "change" and if it just works. There is lots of different info out there on other forums, but i haven't found anything in regards to the 2019's. EDIT: AlfaOBD does work, here is the what is needed...

@Brutal_HO your post is what I was remembering about the color confusion.

How do you get the cables out is my question
Mine are stuck in there were do you push to release

Small pick works well to get the release tab

Once you get the connectors out just remove the lock tabs to make future removal pain free. I learned that the hard way was as well. The connectors stay in just fine without the tabs.

Not sure if I have an updated version but on mine each leg has what looks to me like color coded bands (green/black and green/white) to match the correct block.

Blue/yellow wired plug goes to block with black base

Red/green wired plug goes to block with white base

I’ll find out soon, finally ordered the vlinker and bought a license for Jacan.

Well, harness worked like a champ! Adjusted TPMS thresholds and activated Bambi mode. Whole thing was pretty darn easy.

Bambi mode?

Bambi mode?

I had to Google that myself. It's a Ford thing, keeps the fog lights active when high beams are selected.

^^^^^** or what we call fog light drop out

I just tried my new kaod bypass cable, the yellow and blue are on the green with black base, I can connect to the PC with the MX+ but alfaobd won’t come off idle and just throws up connection complaints. Do I have to go behind the dash with something too? Nothing is mentioned in the kaod instructions.

I don’t have the windows version but on android you have to select the OBDlink adapter on the alfaobd app
