I did not, may do more on the gas engine equipped trucks more specifically ones equipped with the 5.7 but Im not sure of what it would add to the truck. I never really have had a use or need to change that.
I just downloaded this, because I have to prepare my air suspension. One thing I did not see for an option, was saving your configuration, in case you have to revert. If you can point out where this is I'd appreciate it. I am still searching. LoL
There is not a way to physically save your last or original settings. However, you can save a copy of bcm settings to compare to should you need to revert back to those original settings. Hope this helps.
Also i noticed using the kaodtech bypass cable, the instructions are incorrect. They say to connect the female end to the factory OBD port. My factory OBD port is female.
Sorry to hear this, you will need to contact kaod tech for issues with that harness. You should have one male end that plugs into factory obd port and then the other female end would go in place of factory one on the dash panel
It does have a male connection, just noting that kaodtech instructions are wrong...I hope. I panicked after using it, thought I blew up the computer. Kinda hesitant to try it again. I sent a message to kaodtech, waiting reply.

So about the five digit factory code. Will the dealership give that info to the owner? I just bought a new 2022 Laramie 1500 4x4 with lots of ideas for upgrade, but if the dealership will not give the factory 5 digit pin it's all for naught.
From what it looks like based in the obdlink website they have discontinued the mx, says the LX will do what the mx did but the app developer recommends mx or mx+. Short answer at the moment is possibly but I cant say for sure as I havent used the LX.
I have a 2019 ram laramie, recently removed air suspension and now get air suspension warning. Do you have steps on how to delete this? I was using the bypass with alfaobd and had a bad experience. When i tried to start the truck i heard some pops like a fuze blowing. The truck didnt start and eventually the battery went dead. Ever had this happen?
I have not had this experience and cant say I have removed air suspension from any truck, would actually love to have that feature. Have you checked all your fuses?
Hi thanks for your time. Do you know how I can unlock the speed limit on a Dodge Ram 1500 2020 via Alfa obd? Speed limit is locked on 160 mph. Thanking you all in advance.
Speed limit should be found in the ecm and normally requires a programmer to change. I have not tried to do anything of this sort with Alfaobd. You might look at hp tuners or something of that sort.
Appreciate the video. I have new to me '17 Laramie 2500. Upgraded to 35" tires and don't need 80lb air. Low pressure light bugs me. I'm gonna buy this app. Being it's a '17 I won't need a bypass cable right?
Will this software allow to change settings for transmission type for an auto to manual swap? Basically flash the computer to make it think its a factory manual truck?
Yes and no, it will allow you to change certain parameters within the bcm but will not do anything with your ecm. You will likely need to get a tuner to make these changes for you. If your savvy on tuning recommend you look into Warp tuning and MM3 or Raceme Ultra programmers

I have not had the opportunity to remove the display to find out. Mds is not able to be disabled with alfaobd to my knowledge. Which sgm bypass harness did you purchase?
The security gateway mod is on the left side of the knee bolster cover under the steering wheel. remove the two screws at the bottom then gently pull out it has plastic clips be carefull not to loose them you need to put back.
Tyler Maloney yes I can, super simple to install as everything is in close proximity. I will show this in one of the upcoming videos involving wiring my isspro back pressure gauge.
Yes most definitely. Head over to an alfaobd thread like on the ramz forum or cummins forum and there are posts there that list components you will need. If you need a link just let me know. Most popular one is alfaobd success.
I'm looking into this option as well. I'd like to install a factory brake controller. Does anyone know if this device needs to be removed if I need to take it in for a factory recall?
It does not need to be removed but you could if you suspect the dealer will hassle you over it. Not hard to remove and I have had no issues with my local dealer yet.
Any idea what setting to use to turn on the puddle lights on a 2011 ram 3500? I just replaced my mirrors, old ones and new ones have puddle lights but the new ones aren't working. Old ones were burnt up and corroded.
So that was my original question with the app is which setting is it to enable them. I tried the ones I thought it would be. With no luck.. The only difference between my stock mirrors and these is the new ones have the led for signal in the glass as well as on the corner. I didn't know if maybe they took the place of the puddle light.
Brandon Parsons it is possible with this program. I dont have a video on it but you likely can find instructions if needed here AlfaOBD r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?share_fid=17770&share_tid=123982&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eramforum%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3Fthreads%2FAlfaOBD%2E123982%2F&share_type=t&link_source=app

Lil Timmy knew that the windows wouldn't go up or down since the keys were not in the ignition. He also didn't know that there was a new override feature that allowed them to roll up.
KTStull you will need to purchase the paid version to be able to access the truck and features. I think the free version just allows you to look at it and get familiar with it but not perform any functions.
I purchased the bypass harness from them I have it and the mx+, do you know which to green and white connectors get swapped or do they plug into an empty spot? I did not get any instructions nor can I find any info out there. Thanks
Casey McCormick I will do a video in the next couple days on this specifically but in the mean time, pull the panel under the steering wheel that the obd 2 port is secured to. Unclip the obd port from the panel, clip the harness into that location then connect the bypas harness to the original obd port. If you look directly to the left you will see the CAN Bus block, front side is green and on the backside it is white. Plug the green and white plugs of the bypass harness into any empty slot and your done. Hope this helps.

This is only accomplished through an android or windows os. Unfortunately there isn’t anything to my knowledge utilizing ios to make changes to configurations.
Jacob Gawrys it is possible that the dealer could give you some grief if you were the cause of a self induced problem which required the dealer to reflash the ecm or bcm. Generally though, if your careful and only adjust things that are known to work like what I show in the videos they have no issue. Guys get in trouble when they dont follow step by step and freak out when something isnt expected. I do remove the bypass harness when I go to the dealer. The tool is very powerful but as long as you are careful it should not void any warranty for general adjustments (activating lights, calibrating speedo, changing splash screens etc). Hope this answers your question
MKS Performance & Offroad , Thank you for the quick response. I’m just looking to do simple things, Global Down for the front 2 windows and recalibrate the tire size. Thanks Again!!!
Dan the Man try going into bcm, cbc features, passive entry. Also, check out this thread www.ramforum.com/threads/how-to-add-factory-keyless-enter-n-go.134961/. That should have all the info you could want about adding it if there is something you dont have and need to add.
airell47 I havent personally used it on anything older than 2013, however, did a little google search and there are quite a few people who confirmed it works on 2006+ as these were the beginning years with CAN bus systems. Look at igotacummins.com, cumminsforum.com, and ramzforum.com.
I have a 1500 ram with factory airride can you change the settings so it would stay in the ride height you select instead of it going into normal ride high after a higher speed?
Audio Expertz you can do diagnostics and clear codes with this software, I cant say whether it will do every code but I can tell you it will clear everything I’ve experienced so far. Are there specific ones you want to know about?
Hey man have you noticed there is a selection in AlfaOBD to disable the scr/def. I’m scared to hit it and see what happens. Curious if you could select that and get rid of def 🤣🤣
gun freak I’m aware of it but haven’t tried it. This may be an option in the ECM for chassis like Ambulances or emergency vehicles that wouldn’t use that system, however, along with that you would need the correct engine calibration to go with it. There are many things in Alfaobd that can be manipulated (turned on or off) but could cause unanticipated effects without the correct settings or equipment present. This is one of those things you have to take caution on and just make note of the change and compare to your module backups to see if it changes anything else. Hope this helps answer your question. It also may not do anything and just show as an option.
Hey man, I have an 18 2500 g56. Curious if you could give me some insight on how to do the remote start? If I have to physically bypass the clutch or if it is in the programming? I have the new keys and will be attempting to perform this all in the coming week.
You will need to bypass the clutch which will allow the truck to start in gear and lurch forward. I looked into doing this a while ago and decided not to for safety. I personally havent attempted this so I would look at the cummins forum under alfaobd g56 remote start.
The 8.4a is nav ready but you need a tool that can pull the pin from the radio that is specific to the radio which most likely has to be done at the dealer. They charge somewhere between $5-600 to do this. Most of this is locked due to proprietary software.

I have not had the opportunity to remove the display to find out. Mds is not able to be disabled with alfaobd to my knowledge. Which sgm bypass harness did you purchase?
I ordered cable from kaodtech that you suggested
The security gateway mod is on the left side of the knee bolster cover under the steering wheel. remove the two screws at the bottom then gently pull out it has plastic clips be carefull not to loose them you need to put back.
Can you do a video for the by pass? It's the only thing I'm struggling with. Lol
Tyler Maloney yes I can, super simple to install as everything is in close proximity. I will show this in one of the upcoming videos involving wiring my isspro back pressure gauge.

Is there a way i can program my mirrors to close when i lock my doors ram 1500 2017
chris see unfortunately I dont believe that is an available option to program.
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad It is, I just cant remember where it is.
Were did you get the leather done
Leather is katzkin leather covers that I had the dealer install when I bought the truck
Can I use this program to make my truck remote start off key fob. 2013 ram express
Yes most definitely. Head over to an alfaobd thread like on the ramz forum or cummins forum and there are posts there that list components you will need. If you need a link just let me know. Most popular one is alfaobd success.
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad I have looked for a site for this info but can't find it, do you have it handy?
obdlink mx work as well as the plus?
If Im not mistaken the plus is a little bit faster as far as communication, both will work well though
What do I need to do to my truck to get that loud turbo whistle on startup like yours has in the intro?
Cold start with exhaust brake on
I'm looking into this option as well. I'd like to install a factory brake controller. Does anyone know if this device needs to be removed if I need to take it in for a factory recall?
It does not need to be removed but you could if you suspect the dealer will hassle you over it. Not hard to remove and I have had no issues with my local dealer yet.
IS THAT A MANUAL RAM!?!?
It most definitely is.
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad its beautiful
Any idea what setting to use to turn on the puddle lights on a 2011 ram 3500? I just replaced my mirrors, old ones and new ones have puddle lights but the new ones aren't working. Old ones were burnt up and corroded.
If they were originally enabled they should work when new ones are installed. Are you sure you have a good connection and power to the new mirrors?
Did you get your puddle lights working?
No I did not. I need to test connectivity with a volt meter. Just have been busy the past few weeks.
Brandon Barber and you have the mirror lets enabled already for sure in bcm?
So that was my original question with the app is which setting is it to enable them. I tried the ones I thought it would be. With no luck.. The only difference between my stock mirrors and these is the new ones have the led for signal in the glass as well as on the corner. I didn't know if maybe they took the place of the puddle light.
I want to turn my drls that are my brights off or make them my park lamps
Brandon Parsons it is possible with this program. I dont have a video on it but you likely can find instructions if needed here AlfaOBD

Thanks for the video 👍
I just received my ODBlink MX+ and bought the AlfaODB software.
I ll try to activate automatic windows rolling and DRL’s on my 2017 Laramie.
Your video will be helpful. Thanks
Kind regards from France.
Awesome, glad it was helpful. Stay tuned, Ill be adding individual videos for each procedure. Thanks for subscribing, enjoy that Laramie!

Front Fog with high beams >> works
Global windows down >> works
Global windows up >> doesn't work ( as for you )
Next time I'll play with DRL's ;)
Rust 4Ever global up is not able to be activated in the bcm for one reason or another. You may want to look at a taser unit which from what I read allows this feature. They are pricey though.
@@rustntrucks Up feature - nobody wants the liability of the "could happens" when little Timmy didn't get his head out of the window in time. Lil Timmy knew that the windows wouldn't go up or down since the keys were not in the ignition. He also didn't know that there was a new override feature that allowed them to roll up.
Can you use the free version of Alfaobd or do you need to use the paid version?
KTStull you will need to purchase the paid version to be able to access the truck and features. I think the free version just allows you to look at it and get familiar with it but not perform any functions.
Can you use this device to program additional key fobs?
Yes
Does the alfaobd have the option to add the offroad pages to a 2018 ram power wagon?
I cant say 100% but I do remember seeing them. I personally havent done this so cant say for sure what all it will enable in regards to that
I added tow mirrors to my 2018 ram 2500. Would this work to make the turn signal and puddle lights work?
Ricky P yes most definitely
I purchased the bypass harness from them I have it and the mx+, do you know which to green and white connectors get swapped or do they plug into an empty spot? I did not get any instructions nor can I find any info out there. Thanks
Casey McCormick I will do a video in the next couple days on this specifically but in the mean time, pull the panel under the steering wheel that the obd 2 port is secured to. Unclip the obd port from the panel, clip the harness into that location then connect the bypas harness to the original obd port. If you look directly to the left you will see the CAN Bus block, front side is green and on the backside it is white. Plug the green and white plugs of the bypass harness into any empty slot and your done. Hope this helps.
I made a short one....really short but hopefully it helps ruclips.net/video/A54WKP5elz0/видео.html
@MKS Performance & Offroad watching this got me thinking, do you know if it is possible to buy a 2019 auto tailgate install in on a 14 and activate that?
The only way you would be able to is if that were an option offered on a 2014 which I dont think it was. It has to be present in the bcm to enable it.
If I install a factory trailer brake controller, can you use this program to activate it? Or do I still have to take it to the dealership?
You should be able to use the program to activate it.
You CAN use AlfaOBD and a bluetooth OBD tool to unlock the brake controller features in your Ram. I just did this today on my RAM 1500 with Mopar brake controller. Enabled 4 options with AlfaOBD now I can set the gain on my dash and see it in my cluster.
Trying to change odometer on my 2017 ram upgraded cluster from 3" to 7" , so far unsuccessful, did many attempts keeps saying procedures failure, any suggestions on why? Any help would be appreciated
Try changing the odometer under the 3.5”
Did you get it?
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad well kinda I did the 3.5 like you suggested I went from 200,000 km to 129,000 km I didn't do the mileages conversion, where I wanted to be is 80,400 km I've tried again nothing changes any idea why it won't let change it
@@nicknay4118 is it giving you any error messages? Or it just wont take the mileage?
@@nicknay4118 try programming it in ACC rather than run, program in 3.5 option and hope that helps you out
My RAM's cargo light doesn't turn on when I open the tailgate. Is that something i can use this app to enable?
Normal operation it should turn on with the button on dash or unlock on key fob. Does it do those functions?
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad it does do that, but im looking to make it turn on when the tailgate is opened
For ios what app can i use
This is only accomplished through an android or windows os. Unfortunately there isn’t anything to my knowledge utilizing ios to make changes to configurations.
Thank you for the video. I’m sure this has been asked, but does this void any kind of warranty you may have on the truck?
Jacob Gawrys it is possible that the dealer could give you some grief if you were the cause of a self induced problem which required the dealer to reflash the ecm or bcm. Generally though, if your careful and only adjust things that are known to work like what I show in the videos they have no issue. Guys get in trouble when they dont follow step by step and freak out when something isnt expected. I do remove the bypass harness when I go to the dealer. The tool is very powerful but as long as you are careful it should not void any warranty for general adjustments (activating lights, calibrating speedo, changing splash screens etc). Hope this answers your question
MKS Performance & Offroad , Thank you for the quick response. I’m just looking to do simple things, Global Down for the front 2 windows and recalibrate the tire size. Thanks Again!!!
Where would I go to add the gxm or keyless entry ability to an st with power locks?
Dan the Man do you have all the parts needed and have you checked out the procedure for it all on forums?
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad yes, I have the software and obd I'm just not sure where to go to find that option
Dan the Man try going into bcm, cbc features, passive entry. Also, check out this thread www.ramforum.com/threads/how-to-add-factory-keyless-enter-n-go.134961/. That should have all the info you could want about adding it if there is something you dont have and need to add.
Correction, try going to bcm, 2013-17 powernet, config change, vehconfig3, passive entry
I have a 2011, is it the rke option?
does it work on aftermarket parking sensors ?
Yes as long as you are programming to a factory system.
will that allow me to turn on factiory back up camera on the u connect radio ?
Yes depending on year and radio model.
does this app / link work on the 2007 model rams
airell47 I havent personally used it on anything older than 2013, however, did a little google search and there are quite a few people who confirmed it works on 2006+ as these were the beginning years with CAN bus systems. Look at igotacummins.com, cumminsforum.com, and ramzforum.com.
I have a 1500 ram with factory airride can you change the settings so it would stay in the ride height you select instead of it going into normal ride high after a higher speed?
hi , dodge ram 1500 5.7 ,2009 motor DS
How do I buy this unit??

Can this remove pcm codes
Audio Expertz you can do diagnostics and clear codes with this software, I cant say whether it will do every code but I can tell you it will clear everything I’ve experienced so far. Are there specific ones you want to know about?
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad well after the pcm got flash back to stock o2 sensor and battery voltage is on
can this be used on RAM 2019
Chris Thelen should work as I have heard many people using it on a 2019.
Hey man have you noticed there is a selection in AlfaOBD to disable the scr/def. I’m scared to hit it and see what happens. Curious if you could select that and get rid of def 🤣🤣
gun freak I’m aware of it but haven’t tried it. This may be an option in the ECM for chassis like Ambulances or emergency vehicles that wouldn’t use that system, however, along with that you would need the correct engine calibration to go with it. There are many things in Alfaobd that can be manipulated (turned on or off) but could cause unanticipated effects without the correct settings or equipment present. This is one of those things you have to take caution on and just make note of the change and compare to your module backups to see if it changes anything else. Hope this helps answer your question. It also may not do anything and just show as an option.
Hey man,
I have an 18 2500 g56. Curious if you could give me some insight on how to do the remote start? If I have to physically bypass the clutch or if it is in the programming? I have the new keys and will be attempting to perform this all in the coming week.
You will need to bypass the clutch which will allow the truck to start in gear and lurch forward. I looked into doing this a while ago and decided not to for safety. I personally havent attempted this so I would look at the cummins forum under alfaobd g56 remote start.
What were some of the issues you had with the 14 Laramie?
Mold in the rear can under seats and made its way into the blower and air ducts.
Can you unlock navigation for the 8.4" screen. Or do you have to buy that specific radio
The 8.4a is nav ready but you need a tool that can pull the pin from the radio that is specific to the radio which most likely has to be done at the dealer. They charge somewhere between $5-600 to do this. Most of this is locked due to proprietary software.
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad I'm pretty sure there's an android based PIN tool I've used in the past. They exist but may not work on all builds.

Can't hear anything
Probably the settings on the device your using to view. Sound works on my end when I play it.
@@MKSPerformanceOffroad sounds is all the way up on my device and it sounds like you ate whispering
I have never heard so many ”Um’s” in my life. Great videos but I just can unhear all the um’s you say. Very annoying. Maby something to take in mind for futur videos.
Gross don't black out grille and bumper it will look terrible
I think Im leaning more towards a paint match on these with black badging or potentially no badging. I didnt like the way the black looked when it was rendered.
leave it stock!
I like my factory options I want to enable. Setting this truck up the way I wanted it and adding my touches. Nothing wrong with that, everyone likes there truck a certain way and this truck is turning out great.
Kenneth Plunkett leave your own truck stock.
@@RL-pj8tj mine is stock and it runs just fine.
Also i noticed using the kaodtech bypass cable, the instructions are incorrect. They say to connect the female end to the factory OBD port. My factory OBD port is female.
