So a question about the Alph OBDII. I find the app on amazon but it is kind of vague. Is it just a app for android to use with a bluetooth module you already have such as the blue driver or does in come with it's own plug in module. I want to adjust or turn off the TPMS so will the app do this or do I need to by the hand tool for this option.

You need to purchase an OBD2 Bluetooth adapter so your Android device can communicate with it. The AlphaOBD app is just an app.

AlfaOBD is just the App for Android or Windows. You will still need a Bluetooth OBD dongle. Obdlink MX is the best choice as it supports all the buses without an external switch box. You will also need a pin code from the dealer parts department so you can reset the RF hub. The dealer is suppose to give it to you for free with proof of ownership; however, some dealers refuse to give it out.

I have a Blue Driver OBD will that link work with the alfa app or should I get the link MX also?

I would try it. I think it is a ELM327 compatible unit.

From the AlfaOBD web site:
ELM327 - based USB / Bluetooth / WLAN interfaces for PC and bluetooth/WiFi-enabled Android and Windows devices. All CAN units are supported and some of K-Line. Make sure the ELM 327 is of version 1.3 and above.

I started out with a $9.95 Bluetooth adapter I purchased a few years ago for use with the Torque App and thought I was having trouble with it. I purchased the OBDLink MX and still had the same trouble. It turned out to be operator error. The no name adapter works exactly the same as the $80 one.

Another vote for AlfaOBD. I have a list of friends wanting me to drop their TPMS warnings. You will need to get your trucks 4 digit PIN from the dealership.

I didn’t know about AlfaOBD when I was truck shopping, so TPMS vs TPIS was another bonus on the 3500. I wonder when the govt will change that.

All deflated for winter.

I run lower when at elk camp, but I don’t get above 25 for 10 days... and this year had 4 chains on for a week. Tire pressure makes a HUGE difference in traction.


As far as OBDII readers I have this one. Works great.

I thought I read lately about a PIN puller app also for android, so no going to the dealer for it.

Dealer is supposed to provide for free. Puller is another option if dealer wants to charge or doesn't want to provide.
