Here is how I fixed the “Procedure failed” First, I reset the OBDLink unit itself and re-connected my phone to it via Bluetooth. Next I inserted the fob key into the ignition and turn it clockwise one click (ACC). Not two (ACC2). I then followed the rest of Adam’s instructions. PROCEDURE COMPLETED. I did one more thing. In AlphOBD under Instrument Cluster. Select “VIN write” and “Premium Cluster 7 in.” and entered my vehicle’s VIN number.
Fine work sir! Thank you for sharing your success! BTW I didn't realize writing your VIN would even make a difference. Learn something new everyday with this device! I love it.
I did notice that another person had rewrote his Vin before he did the procedure I was looking online on the forums to see if there was any more info on that somebody had said that if you rewrite the Vin and the instrument cluster I could lock out the whole truck but I don’t know how true that is that’s why I was hesitant about doing it
So helpful hint for anyone having issue. I tried this several times over and over even got the windows version from Alexy. I ended up finally getting mine too take by putting the key in ACC mode(first click). Everytime I tried the ON mode (second click) it would never take. Just a helpful hint to anyone struggling.
To my fellow Canadians out there. If you have one set in KM and not miles just keep in mind that whatever number you input will be converted from miles to KM so if you’re looking for 150,000km you need to input 93,205
This comment saved my sanity, I couldn't figure out why the mileage doubled and wouldn't set right. Turns out I just had to convert the kilometers to miles lol
Thank you for all your ram videos. I have the 2019 1500 classic. Today I installed the 7" gauge cluster. Programed my miles and hours like you showed. Worked perfectly the first time. Thanks again for these videos.
I am super happy that it worked for you the first time! It took me like five lol. I know some guys are still struggling trying to get it right. Thanks for your support Matty!
@@oxycopium And you're sure you have the cable plugged into the correct spots? I wish I could be more of a help. I followed the video step by step and didn't have any issues. I wonder if your truck is too new.
Thank you! I just bought a second hand evic display for my car but the mileage was higher than my vehicle's. Alfaobd is gonna save my @ss! It's amazing how no other company thought that sometimes you need to decrease your mileage for honest reasons!
Thanks. You showed me I programed the hours incorrectly when I did it at first. I had a long number under the drive hours, and couldn't figure out what i did wrong. A couple months have passed since I put the cluster in. I'm sure they are not 100% correct, but at least it won't be too obvious to the dealer that it has been meddled with except for the fact I have a 7" EVIC in a Tradesman LOL.
Followed your video last night to install my 7" evic. Thanks for the video. Took three hours to do what you did in the video it kept failing but it eventually took.
Maybe I have a newer version of Alpha, but I didn't need to cycle the ignition off/on for the changes to take. No "failed to complete" messages. Easy, thanks!
Do you have any experience with parking light failure notification after upgrading to the 7" EVIC? I have standard incandescent bulbs, not LED, but gut the wzrning any time I apply the brake or turn signal if the parking ligjts are on. The parking light element actually goes out when the brake or turn signal is applied. Not sure if that's normal, it doesn't sound right to me and that is when the failure occurs.
Awesome as always. I finally pulled the trigger on the AlfaOBD today. When it comes in, this will be the first thing I do. I’ve wanted to upgrade my evic since the day I got my Ram. There was no way I was gonna pay the price that some people were asking. Nor did I want to park my truck and wait for the new evic to arrive so as to not have any inconsistencies in the mileage
Thanks for the compliment brother! alfaOBD will definitely be an investment you will never regret. Just a little tip, if you don't already know, stay away from the 2013 EVIC if you have a 2014 or newer RAM. It is not fully compatible with 2014 through 2020 classics. FYI, if you haven't seen it yet, I featured one of your comments in the video i released yesterday. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_goNlDbGiW4.html And like always, thanks for watching brother!
When I changed my mileage on my 2018 7" EVIC I installed in my 2017. My mileage was 3 tenths of a mile off. I believe yours was too. Not a big deal but just in case you didn't see it on the Ram forum as well. Someone else experienced a difference of 7 tenths of a mile.
Hey great vid gonna order a interface now, question do you know if you can change the cluster to display DEF since my secondhand cluster was from a gas truck?
Really awesome video. Just getting started with Alpha OBD. I have a 2017 Ram 3500 Tradesman diesel. Think I will go out and find the 7 inch EVIC. So much nicer then the 3 inch. I do have one question that hopefully someone can help with. I follow on how to reset your mileage and hours. Being a bit of a nerd I bought my truck used. Trip B has never been reset. Trip B has all the mileage driven along with estimated mpg. Is there away with the Alpha OBD to copy that trip meter info over to the new Evic ?
I don't think so Rodney. You can double check by asking the question in the alfaOBD forum www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544
Hey there, I'm just wondering if OBDLink LX instead of MX+ would do the job? I have the new/used cluster for my 2014 Ram and just need the obdlink device and the price difference is almost half..I don't see the MX anywhere now so I'm thinking its been discontinued...look forward to your next video!
Hey brother, I think the LX is a read-only device It doesn't write. However I can't quite remember. I always talk about the MX and MX plus because it is what is widely used and has a great success rate. Here's a link to the Rams forum alfaOBD thread www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 ask your question here just to double check I am correct. Also so much crazy reading and knowledge and that thread especially on page one. Hope this helps out brother!
QUESTION ??? I have a Samsung to download the Alpha 0BD... but what about that other device underneath the steering wheel where can I get that ... so I can begin what you are doing....
Hey William, here's the Amazon link brother. Also remember if you have a fourth gen 2018 or newer, you'll need the bypass harness also. OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner for iPhone, Android, and Windows www.amazon.com/dp/B07JFRFJG6/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_23YJ9KJV7P53KFNZJ8P4
Hello bought a 7 in cluster upgrade and set mileage is all good. However Does not have a splash screen on evic on startup it's just black... How do you set the splash screen there is no info on how it's done..and by doing this does anything else change with it ? 2016 Ram 1500 Express 5.7
Hey Steve, never heard of a cluster just being black, however maybe try enabling it again. EVIC Splash Screen (for Limited logo): (2015 to present trucks only) if you have a 2013 or 14, 7-in evic this will not work. Vehicle Configuration 1: Special Package Select "Limited" Vehicle Configuration 2: Special Package Select "Limited" Hope this solves your problem brother.
Hey Adam. Great Video's and you are funny! I have a question, can the alfaOBD close my sunroof when i shut of the engine and lock the doors? My last ram did this. I have a 2014 RAM 2500.
Hey Doug, glad you're enjoying the videos. I just read both your comments back to back and I am not 100% sure on that. So I just asked that same question in the ram forum. I am awaiting an answer. Sir you should join and follow along. Great bunch of people! Thank you for your support sir. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/
@@bigdaddyshouse Thanks for the quick response. I got my AlfaOBD today and I already change the tire pressure on my RAM. For a while the tires were set at 60 and 80 psi. The truck had a bumpy ride. I spoke with some friends and they convinced me to lower the air pressure, but when I did, all the red lights came on and the yellow tire pressure light. With the OBD, I changed the setting and all is well. Your video's are great and I feel like you are righ there with me when I am doing these changes. Please keep posting the video. You are a great instructor and have a great sense of humor. Thanks, Doug
Thanks for the compliment Ryan. I appreciate it. I know alpha Will work on some things below 2013 but I can't tell you a fact if it will will not work.

I have a question, I replaced a broken premium cluster for my buddies 2014 RAM so we have no idea the actual miles on the vehicle, how can I read the PCM with this tool to make sure the miles match the PCM?
It's actually never done that but I think it can be done I would reach out here for the guys and the ram forum. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1375 Ask her question there. I'm sure somebody can walk you through it. Hope this helps out man
@@bigdaddyshouse unfortunately nobody can find it, seems like it should be a pretty important thing just in case. Best we can find is the mileage on each wheel sensor, probably close but not exact.
Hey Jorge, are you running the current update? I haven't heard anything about alfaOBD taking it off. If they did you can download an older version from page 1 in the alfaOBD thread of the RAM forum. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 plus there's a lot of good reading in that thread.

Hi, I'm from Brazil and I have a 2018 Ram 2500 laramie and I need to correct the mileage and engine running hours. I also need to change the tire pressure, enable the DRL and do the electronic calibration of the transmission. Would Thais device work for that? Can you tell me what I need to buy? Thank you very much.
Really enjoy your videos. I'm upgrading to a 7 inch evic. When you program your mileage information did you also flash the computer with the vin number or just program the mileage. My truck is a 2014.
Hey Troy! my Ram is a 2014 also. I didn't need to flash the vin but some people have Success doing it. Also a quick note some people have tried using that blue OBD and could not get the mileage to change but then they bought the MX or mx + and it worked fine.... My MX has never failed me. Good luck brother!
@@bigdaddyshouse Thanks for the quick reply. One more question. Before you made your mileage video, had your cluster already been programmed and the vin number already flashed to it?
Hey Gary, if you have a 2018 or newer, you will need the gateway bypass harness. If you have a 2013 through 17 he will not need that part.

Hey Dashty, 2009 is the first year of the 4th gen. Should be able to set it from your steering wheel, it's the left or right arrow while your display is on the speedometer. That's how mine works. If that doesn't work shoot a question in the RAM forum. I'm sure somebody with an 09 can assist better. www.ramforum.com/forums/general-discussions.38/ Thanks for watching and your support!
Hey boss I have a 2012 base with no screen on my cluster, do you know if a 2011 longhorn cluster with screen work with mine and if so will the Alfa obd work to change the miles?
Hey Martin, not sure about that one. Reach out to the guys in the Ram Forum to see if anyone has given that a try. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1375
Hey Oscar, the short answer is no. Not all functions will work properly. I mean technically it will fit and work but things like tire pressure will not show up. 2013 is a strange year You will literally need a 2013 eVic to make it work correctly. You can get a ton more information here if you're up to the reading. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544
Hi. My 17 ram 1500 has a Driving hours of 3126 Idle is at 627 Kilometers is at 166456 Is this numbers are tru or the odometer had been touched by somebody? Than you.
Question. The alfaobd is the app to use but is it able to interface with any OBD2 dongle device. I have a Vgate iCar2 already. I used it on my 2010 charger to get the trans temp etc but want to do the cluster swap to the 7"
Hey all things super, by 2019 tradesman I'm assuming you mean 2019 classic. If that is the case all you would need is the bypass harness. The link for that is in my description. The only thing beyond that would be of course an Android device and or a PC computer and the alfaOBD app. If you want more information on it and/or ask more questions check out the Rams forum. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 Thanks for watching and your support brother!
Actually, one last question, with the replacement cluster, do you input the trucks VIN as well, I see there is the option.. does that give the truck the vin or just the replaced cluster?
Mine is not having me cycyle the ignition off and is saying "procedure complete" but the hours won't change. I've tried 5 or 6 times for idle and total hours.
How do you like the T Style radio? I am thinking about putting in one but I have a front parking camera that automatically comes on below 10 mph, if I pull the factory radio I will loose that function.
I'm in love with mine but I bought mine over a year ago before all the bootleg versions came out. So I would do some serious research before dropping the cash.... Are you sure that's a fact about the front camera? I would probably ask somebody in XDA or the RAM Forum of that is true. Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch my video!
Hey brother, im gonna send you the link to the ram forum. That way it's easier to ask questions and find out what the core problem is. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-881#post-2133535
Hey Will, as I have no experience with Chargers, I just opened up the app to take a look for you and underneath the settings Dodge/RAM- Dodge Charger(LD)-instrument panel-instrument panel cluster My 2011-14 powerNet or panel instrument cluster my 2015-17 PowerNet/ odometer correction is present. so as I want to say yes, if you have these years, it will work.However if I were you, before investing in this I would find a Dodge Charger forum see if they have an alfaOBD section and do some reading and maybe ask a few questions. I hope this helps out brother and I appreciate your support!
I have a question? What did you do about the ‘engine hours’? I can’t imagine it auto corrected once you input the numbers in into the odometer… Thanks.
Hi how are you love your show I have the same radio you have how do you get the xm Radio working id u can halp cool I'm a big fan of your show thank u fore your time
Hey Mike, thanks for your support brother. The Tesla style radio doesn't have a XM antenna. The only way to get XM radio is to download the XM app from the play store. You will have to have the Tesla style head unit connected to the internet for it to work (hotspot or USB carrier dongle). Hope this helps!
Hey Gloria, The initial answer to the question is yes, however for a 2018 you need 3 parts to make this work. the bypass harness, which the link for that is in my description. The OBD2 link MX+ also on my description. And the alfaOBD app. In the play store. Hope this helps! Thanks for your support!
Hey Manoel , I'm not familiar with the diesel functions. You should try shooting that question off here www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/ Maybe one of the guys in the forum will know
There's a couple ways you can tell. You can always request a Carfax or connect to the trucks PCM and see if the mileage on the PCM matches the odometer. The 2nd option is probably a little harder to do, since you may catch some grief hooking equipment up to read the PCM. lol
It does not change the PCM information. Really good question sir. I wish AlfaOBD could turn off MDS too. I Bought a tuner to do just that. I'll make a video on all that soon.
What would happen if you just installed the cluster and didn’t change he miles? For example, I bought a 7” cluster that is a year older than the 3.5” in my truck, but only has a few thousand more miles on it. I can live with that. Will that work? It hasn’t arrived yet, it’s on the way. I don’t have a
The cluster itself would work just fine . It also depends what your cluster you bought and what your truck you have if it would work correctly. The problem would be when you try to resell the truck and the miles will be off.
As I get answered your second comment before the first I apologize for that. For a 7-in cluster to work correctly I I need to know what year your truck is and what your cluster you bought
Hey Gary, the install was not that bad, maybe took a couple hours. I bought my Tesla style radio straight for the manufacturer. Here is my Tesla style radio list I created on RU-vid. ru-vid.com/group/PLdCjicTh12KRMdwc3fe9sfstSsUuebewR All the links are in my description. If you buy it from an outside vendor just make sure it is a true 10.4-in display. Hope this helps brother.
I just changed my Evic. I can't get it to take the mileage. Was able to get the engine hours changed but it goes through the steps but won't change the mileage. Any advise would be a big help
Hey Darren, it took me about five tries before I got mine. I know some guys had a lot of trouble on the RAMforum too. Apparently some Android devices aren't fast enough to make the change. (If you're using an Android device) so the consensus was to get the windows version and use a laptop to do the change. If you email alfaOBD and explain your problem some of the guys said they got the windows version for half price. If you need more help, don't hesitate to ask questions in the RAMFORUM. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/ Thanks for watching and your support!
Hey John, I know you can change TPMS but I'm not sure if you could turn it off. (Although I would imagine you could) If you want to check out more information, I'll leave the RAM forum link here for you. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 I think TPMS is on page one with known working. Thanks for watching brother!
You had a dummy light saying you had a parking light out. After swapping my cluster for a 7 inch, I got the same message. I checked all my lights and there does not appear to be any out. I do have led taillights that could potentially be aftermarket. I'm not sure because I bought the truck used. Do you know how I can fix this? The message is very annoying.
I figured it out. It was the led taillights. Apparently 7 inch evic has more warnings then the 3.5 inch, so I didn't need to do this before. I used the alfaOBD app to turn on led taillights present and that fixed the problem. Just took it for a spin and NO warning messages. Thanks for the videos
First off your video's are awesome sir. And yes the 7in evic is touchy as hell! Glad you figured it out. Thanks for watching man. Just subscribed to you....
I thought I took a pic of my mileage,when I changed to 7 inch screen I screwed up,is there some way to get the ecu mileage and these two settings using the obd
When programing mileage i get the notice saying complete. Let it sleep 5, 10,15, 45, and over night. Nothing changes. Iv tried this over a 100 times in the last 2 nights. I was able to do the hours and total time. Also the global down. Any help would be great.
Hey Leigh, sorry you're having trouble with it sticking. Since I made this video it has kind of become a known problem for some in the ran forum. Some issues have been with the OBD link. (Some people bought the cheaper version and it's not equipped to do the job) I don't think they make the MX anymore so I would recommend the MX+ if that's not already what you're using. You can find the Amazon link for that in my description. If you are using the MX or the MX+ then the problem could lie in your Android unit. (Assuming you're not using a PC version) The PC version of alfaOBD has worked every time to my knowledge. You can contact alfaOBD Tell them your problem and I know in the past they have emailed the PC version to people. and also before doing all that try turning the key just one position and then trying the change. Some people have also had success during that. There's a ton of information and help from hundreds of us in the alfaOBD thread in the Rams forum. sign up and ask a few questions in there and see if anybody else has any more ideas. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 Hope this helps.
is alphaobd an app or an actual device that plugs into the obd2? for example do I need to buy the obdlink mx+ AND alphaobd? or if I buy obdlink mx+ can I do what you just did?
Adam I need some help. I changed my mileage from 96236 to 56236 just to see if it would work. Worked great but now I can’t get it to change back to the original mileage of 96236. I’m doing it just like the first time I changed it and just like you showed in the video and still not working. I bet I’ve tried 6 to 7 times should have just left it alone!!
In retrospect, if you are able to change it the first time, you would think you'd be able to change it back. The only real suggestions I can offer you is : try it in the key in ACC position instead of the on position. If I remember right it took me several times for it to change also. if that doesn't work I would grab the Windows version cuz I hear that version works almost every time. If you're still having trouble shoot a question in the RAM forum. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 see if anybody else has any ideas. Sorry you're not having a good day brother. Let me know if you got it resolved.
I’m doing a cluster swap on my 2014 charger to a 2015 cluster. I got everything working just need to fix the miles. would i use the same obdlink Mx? And same steps on the app?
I've never worked on a charger, however I will go out on a limb and say this should work. Do not take my word for it! I would highly recommend getting into a charger form and asking questions. Thanks for your support bro!

Great question Sir, i however don't know the the answer to that. I can however provide the link to the Ram forum (this is where I got all my info from) and you can ask the fine upstanding people there. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-881#post-2133535 Thanks for your support sir.
I see that you have the Tesla style Android Radio. Have you tried to download the AlfaODB app directly to your head unit and use it use it from there??
Hey Jovani, I probably won't do a video on that because I have a 2014 7-in evic and it cannot be changed. If you have a 2015 or newer premium eVic the splash screen can be changed. The procedure can be found here in the Rams forum. Under known working on page one. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 Hope this helps out! let me know how it goes.
Can you change the start up wording from say Laramie/Rebel/Power wagon to just Ram 1500? Just in case a used premium cluster is from a different package ?
2015 to 2020 7-in premium evic clusters can have their splash screens changed. If you get a 2013 or 14, like I have. it cannot be changed. Hope this helps out brother.

Hey Fedor, I know in the coming years alfaOBD has had some trial and errors with this. Have you tried updating the app to the newest version?

Did the new update version allow for you to change the speedo or was it previously there the update shows on the app store it was just a "translation fix" I have version 2.1.6.4 do you know if my version number will allow me to change it?
big daddy's house quick question just getting this today and when looking to download the app I’m curious if the demo is sufficient and I can do most of adjustments to my ram just the time inconvenience or is it a must I buy the full version ?
Thanks for the support Tony! This is straight from the AlfaOBD thread in the ram forum: MX vs MX+ ***The MX+ is supposed to be slightly faster, comes with Enhanced Diagnostics Add-on and works with iOS devices. The price difference is only like $10. If you already have the MX the only major reason to change to the MX+ is if you want to use it with iOS(There is no AlfaOBD on iOS).*** Thanks @crash68 While there are other ways of connecting to your BCM with AlfaOBD, the above OBDII adapter has been tested and is preferred.
Well...finally made the swap, I used this video(thankyou) to set up, at first I couldn't understand why it wasn't working, then I realised it was converting the my kilometers {I'm in Canada)to miles.... I wonder if there is a setting to use metric in OBDlink?, I shall ask the forum...also I seem to be missing the option of the compass which the 3.5 had...still look forward to your next ram videos...Thanks!
Hey! Calculate your kilometers into miles and then punch in the miles. You can enable compass in alfaOBD , if I remember right I think it's near the LED light section. But it's not going to work if you don't have the overhead home link module. but you are right It is much easier to discuss and throw pictures back and forth in the RAM forum. And... I just posted a new video this morning. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TNKw3qtX_Wo.html Let me know what you think of that one in that video's comments. I'm glad my video helped though brother.
@@bigdaddyshouse yes it worked perfectly...I had done the conversion initially and it took instantly I was just wondering if it was a setting in OBDlink but its all good now. For the compass I dont have the homelink but I do remember seeing it appear in the settings giving me a direction.... Strange, never mind....I'll just have to install that next! Thanks for sharing info with everyone!
Was it the right direction? So compass can be enabled in alfaOBD but if you don't have that homelink module it'll usually just stick in one direction. I enjoy sharing and talking to all you guys. It's nice to see that I can help out. Good luck on your compass brother. We always have the Ram forum if more help is needed. See you in there!

Is it the 2020 classic? If it is as long as you have the bypass harness it should work exactly the way I stated. If you are still having problems you can reach out here www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 feel free to ask questions in the forum, we are eager to help.
@@bigdaddyshouse I have Ram 2500 Tradesman 2020. But the problem exactly the same as Cars and Trucks had mentioned(( only Seat belt option available in Program Customer Features.
It's because you guys have a 5 Gen RAM. It's not going to work. Sorry brother. Here's the thread for alfaOBD in The Rams forum. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 Go to page 1, it lays everything out
I’ve tried to set my miles at least 10 times now. It will go through the entire process and say completed but the miles don’t change. What am I doing wrong?
Hey Adam, it seems after I made this video it is a known bug that some Android phones and or tablets are not fast enough to make the change. It almost always works with a Windows PC. If you email alfaOBD they will give you a free copy of the Windows version. and if you need more help and/or looking for more information on this hit us up in the RAM forum. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544
I know there is a glitch in certain versions of the software. I also know that it seems to work better for some on a Windows laptop. The consensus in the Rams form is that some Android phones are not quick enough to make the change. Sign up and ask away here www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-881#post-2133535 Thanks for the support bro
Do you also loose the trailer towing mileage when swapping clusters? If so, can it be corrected with Alpha? I track my towing mileage on my original Tradesman cluster.
Hey Earl, that's a question I honestly can't answer. I've never seen anywhere on my cluster where I can manage just tow miles. But somebody in the RAM forum might be able to answer that for you though. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 Let us know here what kind of answer you get, that way others can see who aren't in the forum. Thanks for watching brother and your support!
@@bigdaddyshouse Thanks! It's under the brake controller menu where you can see the gain and you can track towing mileage. I'm not sure if this is processed and stored in the cluster or the BCM.
That makes sense. I don't have the brake controller in my truck. My truck is an express. I've thought about adding it and then enabling it with alfaOBD but I really just don't tow anything, so it's not at the top of my list. Anyways that's why I don't see it in my eVic. But still let me know if any of the guys give you any good information in the RAM forum.
Thanks for the video. Just ordered a ckuster from salvage yard. Do you know if anyone figured out a way to change the logo on the cluster yet? The one I ordered is a big horn. Wondering if there is a way to change it to ram head or something similar
Yes sir. the info is on page 1 on the link I'm about to provide you. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/ If I remember right, it requires a 2016 and up Evic for it to work. Good luck brother and thanks for watching!
However some aspects of alfa OBD will work if you want to make some changes to other things. Check out the link here for way more information. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 Page one pretty much tells all. Thanks for watching and your support.
I was playing around with the milage for fun . I put 24500 miles and 14900 popped up. Now I can't get it to go back to the 29300 it had. Going to be embarrassing if I have to take it to the dealer
Has a 2019 Ram version come out for the Alfa obd? Does this allow for activating things like adaptive cruise control if it’s not set up in my truck even though I have the front facing sensors for the parking and I have a front facing camera for the auto high beams.
If you have a 2019 classic it will work with a bypass harness. The question about the adaptive cruise control I'm not for sure about. That would be a good question for you to ask the ram Forum in the AlfaOBD thread. Thanks for watching brother!
2012 is a sticky year.... Some settings work and some dope I'm not sure if this is one that works. however I have a link of a place you can go and ask and I'm sure one of the ridiculously knowledgeable people in the Rams forum can answer you. www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-1181#post-2328544 Thanks for watching and your support brother!
How many times have you tried it? Took me about five tries on my 2014. But that was years ago at this point. I have an updated my alfaOBD app In about a year. Has something changed on the app or you just having trouble getting it to take?
