Yes. The change is represented in my photos.
4.4c is the original setting. I changed it to 4, procedure complete, click start again, and “option set currently as: 4° c”

I see that you are using the windows version of AlfaOBD. I am using Android, the latest version of AlfaOBD, 2.4.0, and the OBDLinkMX+. Sooo...I got home and rushed out to try this. It did not work for me. I will try to get some screenshots up later. I also tried the OBDLinkEX via USB. I have tried two different Android devices. No luck.

Yes and got the error below

Will go through Jimmy's instructions again now.

Does it go through 4 can attempts then fail to connect?

You’re connected to the wrong module.

Got it, will try again, Thanks Jimmy.

While we are on the subject of comfort, is there a way to get the seat vent to start at the highest speed (3) rather then the lowest (1)?

I know it's been asked, have we figured out the seatbelt warning chime yet?

Yes, using the Android version. As far as I can tell the Android version will not connect to the Comfort module.

I went out and got he Windows version and now I have had a lot of success changing the temperatures and some other things within the Comfort module. I still get some odd results, though. For example, I was able to raise the temperature for heat activation, but I can't decrease the temperature for vent operation. AlfaOBD sometimes says the operation is complete, but when I later look there is a random number for the setting; right now the seat vent is activated at -29.72C and I cannot change it. I have tried changing some of the ramp and steady state temperatures...and that is, again, a total crapshoot. If I get a "Procedure Completed" message there are random numbers in the fields. If I do not get the procedure completed message then there can be an error message.

I'm open to suggestions!

What are the ramp and steady state?

Can you record a debug log while trying to connect, then send it to alfaobd and let him know he needs to fix that module for the android version.

Probably just conversion errors when he put these settings in. I can correctly change all of that stuff with cda.
