Yes that's the one I've changed. I'm told it adds settings to the EVIC

I checked mine while connected, and it’s set to no. I think @Kalill Nieto might be your guy. He has the RA1 base radio, which puts the settings in the cluster. I think he recently installed a premium cluster, with his settings still in the cluster. If he could get you his BCM configuration, might be able to see the difference.

Question for anyone who has done this. I am trying to set my truck up as “off road capable” with alfaOBD but so far no luck. Can someone post a list of steps to take to get this to work? Maybe I’m missing something but I’ve tried several times but it makes no changes. I turn it to yes then cycle off for 5 minutes. Just looking to get this thing riding about an inch higher like it does in off road 1 setting. I have a 2014 Ram 1500 with stock air suspension. I have adjusted the ride height settings to get it to within about 1 inch (front to back) difference. Thanks in advance

You get a cheaper price when u download Win version. On alpha site there is an option.

That might be a setting used by jeep and doesn’t work on ram.

I read another post where someone did this a while back. Basically setting the air suspension to the Ram Rebel which only has entry/exit, normal and off-road rather than the 4 settings on a standard truck. Problem is, they were not very specific with what they did to achieve this.

It changes the the off-road 1 setting to normal ride height and off-road 2 to just off-road. Hope this makes sense.

That would also be my question...What do you have to change in AlfaOBD to achieve this?

I have a question so I installed the factory remote start on my 2017 RAM 2500 witch pretty much is a hood latch wired in to pin 11 on the BCM my new Fobiks are programed to the truck so all that needs done is to enable the remote start.
I'm using AlphaOBD and OBDlink mx+
So my understading is
1 # set hood ajar to present # yes
2 # set remote start to present # yes
than reset the RF hub with the pin.
I have my pin.
but my question I am wondering is I was reading on this forum that you also need the set customsetmenu 1 Auto-on driver comfort CSM .
what is this? and there are two options in this setting option 1-2 and 2-3 can anyone shed some light on this ?

Please Read!!!
Supported years: 2013 to 2018
Make a backup of your original BCM configuration before making any changes. While we have a few BCM configs to compare with, there is nothing like comparing to your own pre-changes.​

Instructions:
Uploading System ID (BCM) Information: Thank you Mpgrimm2
To upload your System ID information (BCM) go to the "Tools" icon in the upper right corner. From there select "Upload to Google Drive", it will ask you to link to Google Drive. Link your Google Drive to Alfa. Select "Upload to Google Drive" and "Upload Faults and Status Log". Then select "Body_Chrysler_Info". Name the file to upload whatever you wish. Done! Now you can go to your Google Drive and read the system info a little easier.

For viewing the information directly on the app, go to the bottom and select the battery icon once a connection has been made. Then select Read System ID. It should start populating below. Form what I have seen the Alfa programming tool keeps a record by date of all changes in the BCM from time of first connection.

WORKAROUND UNTIL DEV HAS FIXED POST #8734 and 8735 Thank you @enolS

Only make changes you are sure of.
There are quite a few setting in the AlfaOBD software that are just not for us Ram owners. What you will find in Alfa are code settings for most FCA vehicles. If it makes sense and if another Ram has it from factory, then chances are you can set it. You must also keep in mind not only code settings will get you what you want, you will also need the proper hardware installed. Alfa is not magical!!!

Hello all! Below is a list of known working codes when using AlfaOBD and the OBDLink MX Bluetooth with Android tablet/phone. This thread is to get the information out about this program/tool and its powerful interface. Ricks Ram, STecoD, Mpgrimm2 and I have been able to activate the following codes with no ill effect. I personally have been in contact with the developer several times and he is very willing to help and is pushing updates fairly regularly.


AlfaOBD is only available to Android and Windows platform. There is NO iPhone support.

AlfaOBD

OBDLink MX Bluetooth
https://www.amazon.com/ScanTool-426101-OBDLink-Bluetooth-Professional/dp/B006NZTZLQ

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.

Before attempting any of this be sure to skim through the instructions/help pdf on getting started.
ANDROID http://www.alfaobd.com/AlfaOBD_Android_Help.pdf
WINDOWS http://alfaobd.com/AlfaOBD_Help.pdf

DeereGuy: In case anyone with a 2018 RAM would like to make changes to their truck, we have just officially announced a security bypass harness that will let alfaOBD and other tools work with the 2018s.

Please make notes for every code you set!!!​

If there is a problem this will give you a starting point in which to go back and change what went wrong. We have found nothing in the codes listed below that is not reversible. While it is possible to select multiple codes at once, it is recommended to set one code at a time then let the truck sleep 3 to 5 minutes. When I first started this I noticed some of my codes didn't take right away. I believe it is because I was not giving it enough time.


Known Working List This link provides a working list of codes that will be updated periodically with new additions.

Write-ups for a few of the commonly sought after changes in Alfa. Thank you @1500ram12

Do not use an app called SRTactivator. It could possibly leave your truck inoperable or at very least needing to have the BCM flashed at the dealer. It is strongly advised to not change the "Vehicle Line" or "Vehicle Brand". Be very careful in making changes to settings you are unsure of or that have not been tested.

FYI - AlfaOBD needs to be connected to your truck in order for you to be able to see all the settings. While most of them will show, you will not have several other as well as all the CSMs.

Ricks Ram: "I wanted to mention it might be a good idea for guys to leave positive comments in the Google Play Store or wherever you buy the alphaOBD tool from and mention that you're using it for your RAM so the developer will see how many of us who are using the tool are from the Ram community. I'm thinking it might help us in the future as he refines a tool when he knows how many guys are using it for Ram trucks since it was primarily used for Alfa Romeos and other cars prior to the Ram pickup.


I'll continue to update as I find new working codes or fixes to issues as given to me.

Special thanks out to Ricks Ram, STecoD and Mpgrimm2!! I don't believe I missed anything here but if I did, please let me know and I will edit. Thanks!

Help!! I tried to program another ecm and it would start and stall right out. So i put the original back in and it does the same thing? It will not run. I only changed the vin and injector codes on the other

If you’re talking about the PCM, I doubt AlfaOBD can make it work. It needs the secret key information for the RF Hub to be able to start (and stay running).

 

[Rpols7]

Why doesn't the one I took out work then?? It ran with that one.

Try resetting the rf hub. What wasn’t working with the old PCM originally?

 

[Rpols7]

How Do you reset the rf hub? Nothing was wrong with the one i took out. I wanted to see if I could program a used one.

You need the truck’s PIN number from the dealer parts department. Try connecting to each module, and scan each one for faults, and clear them.

 

[Rpols7]

I disconnected the battery ( 30 min ) and touched the cables together for 1 min and truck is running with the old ECM/PCM

I will ply with the used one another day. I had enough excitement for 1 day LOL

It may take a couple key cycles and a quick drive for your truck to take the changes
