Who is using Alfa OBD?

[CAROLINA CUMMINS]

Per their website. I emailed for price

"Note: The Android and PC versions are sold separately. There is discount for the users of the full Android or PC versions for the purchase of the other version, for the details please contact info@alfaobd.com."

EDIT - 50% discount on the other one if you own either Full PC or Android Version. So basically $75 for both.

I posted it, but it says awaiting approval. Im guessing because of the link I posted.

The site does this for anyone with less than 10 posts, puts posts with a link in an approval queue. Sorry for the inconvenience - spammers often register on forums to posts links and they ruin it for the rest of us.

The post is approved.

No problem, I understand and appreciate the effort to keep the forum from becoming another facebook, lol. Some one else took care of the link.

Can AlphaOBD disable the setting that makes my cluster/radio backlight dim when I turn on my wipers on my 2019 w/8.4?

Yes i think so, disable the function Headlights ON with Wipers.
But i think you can disable this in the EVIC already.

At least on every predecessor that was so.

Correct, don’t need AlfaOBD for that. Just disable lights with wipers.

Thanks guys!

Sweet, I bought Alpha last night. Changed my tire pressure thresholds and turned on the ability to have fog lights with brights.....what to do next.....

Thanks for the info, I didn't know this existed until I saw this thread.

And whats EVEN sweeter: It's not locked to a single vehicle. I turned on DRL on my 2014 Wrangler, it'll work on my 2017 5500 and maybe my wife's 2019 1500, might have to get the unlock cable, if there's anything I ever decide to do to her's.

Cheers, Ron

Just got my OBDLink MX and downloaded AlfaOBD. Haven't done much except change the TPMS Thresholds, will be repl turbo actuator in next week or so, found option for calibration in there already so that's nice.

Please let us know how the calibration works out.

Will do. Pulling actuator off this week.
When setting my TPMS Pressure Threshold that worked immediately. Resetting the RF Hub I had to drive a mile or so before warnings disappeared.

What would this add to my 2017 Limited. Seems like I have everything on the truck and turned on such as backup cams, etc

 

[kthaxton]

I am no expert as I just got it myself, but it seems the most common things to do, aside from if you add parts that need to be activated are:

-Change thresholds on TPMS so you can lower the pressure to a tolerable psi for unloaded driving and not have the pressure light stay on and have the EVIC default to the tire pressure screen.
-change tire size if you aren't stock
-activate daytime running lights
-allow fog lights to stay on with brights
-have the front windows roll down with the key fob (haven't decided that to be useful myself)

Camped with my dad this weekend and did a couple things on his '17.

Fogs with highs
Fogs as DRL's
Trailer Name menu on 8.4


I did enable the global down on mine and have used it a couple times, but it's not something I would have paid extra for.

I have a couple friends I'll be doing TPMS adjustments for.

What about an option to enable the trailer tow mirror turn signals to come on as clearance lights? Personally, i think that'd be cool.

Looks like i need to purchase the software... very useful.

I've read a few people wanting to do that, but so far I don't think it's possible.

Trade up to a 2019

Nah....i like my clutch pedal.

AlfaOBD worked perfectly for turbo actuator calibration. Nice to have Bluetooth capabilities so I can start calibration and watch actuator.
