What kind of cool things can you do with AlfaOBD ?

Sorry if this is already out there but I couldn't find a list per se.
 
So far, I've done the fogs on with the high beams, enabled the gear indicator to show what gear you are in and set my TPMS sensors to a lower threshold. Eventually I will be using it to turn on the cargo cam option but I will be using it for a grill mounted, forward facing camera. I was also going to use it to change tire size when the time comes but that may be handled with the pulsar that I just installed.
 
I like the high beams and gear indicator thing..... very cool.
 
All the above, and adjusted tire size. Also turned off the Cali/Miss. nanny that wont let me have the LED aux light in the mirrors on when moving in reverse. :rolleyes: :mad:

Still looking into raising the speed nanny as well. I hate it when you go to pass someone and the speed nanny kicks in at 96 MPH. :rolleyes:
 
Is there a list/cheat sheet with all of the things we can do w/ alphaobd?

That will require an ECM tune unfortunately. It’s set from the factory based on the originally equipped tires’ speed rating.

I see the setting in Alfa. Haven't tried changing it yet. Not sure if anyone else has tried. It's a bunch of numbers, I think tire rpms, not actual speed.
 
FWIW, no surprise, there is an FB group that looks to be very active, Ram AlphaODB Users;
If you're into that FB thingy...

Several people on cumminsforum and on some of the other forums have tried changing that and ended up with it setting itself to 0, requiring a new PCM to fix it.

These are the only 2 things i want/need and complaints i have on my new 2025; Coming from a 1500 where it always showed and noticing almost immediately i didnt see what gear i was in and couldnt add it from the menu really bugs the hell out of me. (yes i know i can put gear limiter on) Especially on a HD truck, kinda doesnt make sense to me but idk.
Ether way i guess i have to wait and keep putting gear limiter on since I read Alphaobd doesnt support the 2025s yet and i dont feel like spending ~$200 for something im going to use once and never again. Maybe when they do a fellow ram owner will help me out.
 
Sorry to hijack the thread, but.... Im reading for the 2025s there still isnt a app/system (alphaobd, tazer, jscan) to be able to make adjustments yet, is this still true?

the fog with high beams, gear indicator i can live without.... but thanks to yalls advice airing down my tires to tow with has helped tremendously BUT.... it does low tire pressure below 65psi and its driving me up the wall.
