Good to know. Looks like it will also adjust for different tire sizes along with many other features.

 

tire size is not supported for the ram yet, but it is in the works from my understanding

I just changed my DRLs to fog lights from the factory high beams (canadian truck)

I enabled SRT pages, but they dont show up. From reading, once you enable if you have uconnect access they should show up after 10 mins. But there is no uconnect access in Canada so they might never show up for me.

How about a list of what's actually supported on the Ram if you get a chance. It would be very helpful.

 

Very interested! Can you elaborate on your statement about tire size adjustment?

 

I'm very interested also. Was going to spend a lot more on a Hypertech Speed Calibrator. Glad I waited...

 

Love this but I may have just found a couple year old Edge Insight CTS2 #84130 for $200! I'm jumping it!

 

Just got this back from CEO...

Hello Brian,

We will add this function soon. After calibrating the speedometer the calibrate of ABS module is needed, we are currently working on it.

Hells yes... This is great. Im a buyer once i lnow exactly what is and is not supported as of now.

 

This looks very interesting. Wonder if it will allow programming of some power folding mirrors, instead of going to the dealer?

Looks like yes it will program power folding mirrors

I’m wondering if I can program new key fobs with it?

 

I have emailed to find out what all this can do so far, as well as to find out if a double bypass is needed for the 2018 Ram. The 2018 Jeep GC & the 2018 Pacifica both require it.

 

The website has been updated. Adding ITBC is listed! Yeah!

https://appcar-diagfca.com/en/supported-vehicles/ram/ram-1500/

And yes the double bypass is required

 

this is what shows up for my ram

Front fog lights dropout *** Turn fog lights with high beams on/off + + + + +
Rear lamps Combined rear stop and turn lamps on / off

the SRT turns on, and when my truck starts it says SRT on the screen, but no performance pages, but i am told this is becasue I dont have uconnect access.

 

It mentions the ability to add options to the vehicle. I think this was mentioed in relation to the Grand Cherokee.

I am adding the Trailer Brake Controller. It would be a cost savings to be able to add that option myself instead of paying the dealer for an hour to do 10 minutes of work.

 

"Halogen lamps to Bixenon/HID+LED conversion Allows you to activate or deactivate the HID/Xenon and Bi-Xenon Headlamps mode, activate a LED DRLs and more.. everything you need if you have changed the halogen lamps for BiXenon + LED"

Rock$tar,
Does this then allow installing Bi-Xenon HID projectors or LEDs without the need for Canbus decoders, resistors, etc? If so, this programmer is worth it times over and would save a lot of aggravation and wiring hassles. If not, I'm confused as to why one would need this program.

Could you elaborate or correct my thinking? Thanks, I appreciate your posting this thread.

 

Sooooo....who is going to be the test dummy on this?

I have purchased the software. Awaiting the double bypass. Once I have all the pieces needed, I will try to see what can be done. I will try adding the integrated trailer brake controller.

So likely be early next week by the time I have what I need.

All worth while if I can add the itbc. Everything after that is a bonus!

Agree....I would like to add the itbc, and power folding mirrors one day.

Today I also purchased the Appcar Diag FCA software and a scanner.

I Googled scanners and just got too much conflicting information as which would be best to buy.
Here's what the Appcar web site says:

Recommended interfaces:
OBDLink LX or MX - bluetooth
OBDLink SX - USB
Vgate iCar2 - bluetooth
ELM327 – based USB / Bluetooth – Chinese clones, many of them working properly – except “ver. 1.5a” .


I emailed Appcar and asked for their advice. Here's their reply:

OBDLink MX bluetooth would be the best.
This device will give you access to all modules in your 2016 Ram 1500.
2016 Ram Trucks have two separate CAN networks, such as Ford cars.
OBDLink SX and LX devices give you access to modules in one network only (CAN-C).

So I bit the bullet and bought the best, an OBDLink MX off Amazon to be delivered today.

 

Awesome. Keep up posted on your results. Really appreciate your time.

John,

Once you have it up and running with the MX scanner can you let us know how much functionality it gives you. Can you access all modules?

I have the LX scanner and the AppCar software and I can access the functionality listed from AppCar Ram 1500 page. Just wondering what additional functions you may gain with the MX version of the reader.

 

I have a key fob thats acting up. Man it would br nice if thid software could reprogram keys.

 

Interesting, especially if it'll do all that it says for $49. Thing that really caught my eye was the ability to edit the rear end ratio. Time to start looking into a 3.92 swap.

 

Anybody else try this and have their antivirus software flag the product medium risk?

 

Not me. But I am running on windows 10 on a dedicated machine that only has this software installed and is on a separate network.

So I really do not have the same system as you do.

 

I got the "flag" but ignored it. I figured it being a non-USA product that Windows may be confused or the software has not been certified. After installing I ran three spyware, malware, etc programs, and Aapcar DiagFCA passed all of them.

 

Yeah that's what I was figuring. Went ahead and just installed on an extra computer

 

Just purchased the app. I have the OBDLink LX and a 2015 RAM so should be good to go, right?

 

Providing you have a supported version of windows, I believe so. That is all it takes.

 

I have a 16, and i used the ELM 327 i already had. Worked perfect. Changed the fogs, set the SRT mode on. No issues at all

 

toggling the wires over the OBD interface LOL

tire size needs to get added and few other things, but even just for enabling DRLs and changing voltage on DRLS and enabling LED mode so you dont get the bulb out warnings is worth the 49 dollars to me

 

anyone get performance pages to work?

i tryed on my canadian ram. Truck now says SRT when it starts, it has all the SRT themes but no performance pages. Im running uconnect 17.43.01

 

anyone get performance pages to work?

Not sure what you are asking as my Aaacar program does not have a Performance page.

 

What's everybody using for settings for DRLs?

 

I'm using my Baja Designs LED dual quad yellow fogs @ 6.2v

Correction:
Baja Designs said their lights need 12v to work. That 6.2v will not light them. So, now I don't know what the program is doing. It obviously is not reducing the voltage because my fogs are working very brightly as DRLs

Also - when you go to Appcar's website and click on Forum it brings you to this thread. It would be great if they are monitoring this thread and joined in on our questions, etc.
