Hmmmm, looking through my email for the link to download Appear but don't see it. Anyone have a similar problem? Looking through Junk mail now but geez there's a lot of it!

I PM'd you the lastest link that I have from last week.

We have install! Thanks to Domino. Gotta laugh a bit. Did anyone notice that the "User Agreement." was in Polish?

Can anyone elaborate on the center stack console, passenger door module, and radio? What options are available?

Just tryed this out on mine.

https://appcar-diagfca.com/en/

Works perfect. Disabled DRLs (I have Canadian ram and wanted HIDs). I also enabled Fogs while high beams which worked perfect as well.

You can change your DRL type as well (fogs as DRL or high or low or even the voltage of DRL). You can also disable bulb out lights if you want to switch some bulbs to LEDs.

I am using a cheap ELM327 (v1.5 i think) from amazon.

How are you disabling the bulb out warnings? I’ve been playing with mine with no luck?
I took out my load resistors thinking I wouldn’t need them. And went through the setup enabling only the leds I just took the resistors out off with no luck. Ended up putting them back in.
Maybe certain things don’t work for my 2014?

I have to say that I was a big fan of this app. Waiting on new functions is getting old. I went looking for a solution to my ITBC enablement as the Appcar program didn’t completely install it.

I found another app that blows this away for programming options. AlphaOBD (Android & Windows versions). Best part, not locked to a specific VIN,

My ITBC is now functioning

Nice find Domino.

You're talking about using this is on a RAM 1500 Ecodiesel, which isn’t listed in their "Supported Cars" list, correct?

I downloaded the free demo version and the Ram Eco is supported.

Please follow the link provided below for an updated list of known working codes for the Ram. (at least as of the end of July) Hopefully there's a later update including more. Regen would be nice.

So, it looks like this will do Tow Mirrors and ITBC. Interesting. Do these settings work on Android, or do you need a PC?

 

[chizzle1]

would someone dumb it down for me.
which app supports activating the ITBC and what cable / adapter do I need?
that's really all I care about, everything else on the truck works fine.
I'd rather spend $20 on a blue tooth adapter or cable than $125 at the dealer.

There's a version for each.

You would need the program AlfaOBD and the scan tool such as https://www.amazon.com/ScanTool-426...canTool-426101-OBDLink-Bluetooth-Professional/dp/B006NZTZLQ?tag=viglink21284-20 for a combined cost of $130.00. There are cheaper versions of the adapter, but might not be compatible.

I have the green LX version of that device, but it's many years old. not sure if it would work as it only tethers to my android phone.
I've never tried reading the ED with it, just customer vehicles...

I can't get to the alfaobd site from work so I'll have to check it out when I get home.

The software requires a compatible OBD interface. At present the following types of interfaces are supported:

OBDKey Bluetooth/USB/WLAN for PC and bluetooth/WiFi-enabled Android and Windows devices. This is a universal interface supporting all the control units.
KLLine serial or USB, PC version only. For example, interfaces supplied by Electronic-Fuchs.de, Obdauto.fr , and ECUFix.com are supported. KKL interface provides no CAN support.
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.
Warning: There are many suppliers of these interfaces, but not all of sold interfaces are compatible with AlfaOBD!
An ebay interface based on an ELM327 clone might work fine if you are lucky. But there are lots of defective interfaces sold which can not establish connection to car ECUs under AlfaOBD. If, when connecting to a car ECU AlfaOBD displays a message "Interface reports NO DATA" or "Interface reports CAN ERROR", this is most probably a sign that you have one of these defective interfaces. If such an interface works OK with other OBDII diagnostic software it is because this software uses a different connection mode (standard OBDII/EOBD).
So, it is recommended to use an ELM327 interface tested with AlfaOBD.
For example, the interfaces sold by Electronic-Fuchs.de and Obdauto.fr have been tested for compatibility with AlfaOBD.
OBDLink MX and SX interfaces. All CAN units are supported and some of K-Line. OBDLink MX is the recommended interface for the cars with high-speed CAN bus on pins 6 and 14 and middle-speed CAN bus on pins 3 and 11 of the OBD plug. These are, for example, Fiat 500X, Tipo/Egea 2015, Freemont, Viaggio, Ottimo, Lancia Thema (Chrysler 300), Dodge Dart, Chrysler 200, Jeep Cherokee. No additional adapters are needed for these cars when using OBDLink MX.
Kiwi 3 Bluetooth LE (Android only). All CAN units are supported and some of K-Line. The interface features very low power consumption.
Note: AlfaOBD for Android provide no support for KLLine interface due to limitations of Android OS .

Note: USB interfaces are supported on the Android devices via On-The-Go, check if your Android device supports On-The-Go and get a corresponding adapter.

Note: WLAN connection is only available on Android devices with ad-hoc Wi-Fi support. Before purchasing of WLAN interface for use with the Android version of AlfaOBD please check if it is possible to configure your particular Android device for ad-hoc Wi-Fi. Typically it means that the device is rooted and the Wi-Fi driver is replaced with an "adjusted" one.

It is recommended to purchase an adapter or set of adapters to be able to communicate to the Control units other than those connected to the pin 7 (K-line) and 6 and 14 (CAN line) of the car OBD plug.

The adapters are available at Electronic-Fuchs.de , Obdauto.fr , or Gendan.co.uk

For the detailed description of AlfaOBD for Windows features, installation and use see help which is also included into the download packages.

Help for the Android version is here (English) or here (German).

You're talking about using this is on a RAM 1500 Ecodiesel, which isn’t listed in their "Supported Cars" list, correct?

It is supported. I confirmed with the developer...AND I have it and have used it. There are so many functions available its dangerous.

Best of all, it works on most FCA vehicles. So our Jeep Cherokee is also included and I didn't have to pay another $49 for that VIN (If it was supported by Appcar)

Turn on logging so you know what you have done.

I feel like I wasted $49 on AppCar.

 

[Domino]

I am using the ScanToon OBDLink MX (Black) bluetooth.

Works great and I think is the recommend device, although others will work.

As posted on another RAM forum, the AlphaOBD has been confirmed to execute the following functions by the user community:


Auto Dim High Beams:

Mirrors Interior Rear View and Exterior:

Fog lamps with high beams:

HVAC Configuration: (Dual Zone first, then activate Single Zone ATC)

Nav Setting to disable/enable turn by turn on EVIC through 8.4:

EVIC Splash Screen (for Limited logo):

SRT Splash on 8.4 Screen Boot:

DRLs: (Daytime Running Lights)

Truck Bed Lighting Feature:

Front Windows with Fob: Global Down

VTA Vehicle Theft Alarm W/Remote Start Installed: (If all equipment is installed proceed. Some settings might not be set by dealer.)

VTA Vehicle Theft Alarm W/O Remote Start Installed:

Trailer Brake Controller:

Cargo Camera:

Compass Heading (Evic):

Enable TravelLink on 2013-2018 8.4 Nav Radios

SDAR Travel Link Feature Present



Most features require multiple entries to be enabled. For example, the ITBS has 4 settings that need to be set in order for it to work. I believe AppCar only set one of the four as my experience was incomplete. The ITBC did not throw codes like it did before, but I couldn't control it via the EVIC or the UConnect. Now I have both.

There is a list being shared on Google Drive (by a Ramforum member Ghost_RAM) tracking the successes of AlphaOBD on RAM Trucks.

OK, for those who would like to see more about this program and just some of the functions. I just took 70 screenshots and I still didn't capture all the functions.

Here is a link to a share drive that I created for AlphaOBD Help.

I have also downloaded my BCM current config. If you read through you can see how much is in there.
