AlfaOBD Tips and Tricks

[scantone]

Does anyone know where the suspension recalibration is located? After putting my unlocked ECU in, I got the service active dampening and off-road limited management message. I thought it went away with a battery reset, but it returned.

Is there a power fold mirror setting in alfaobd or is it in the tazer only?

Hptuners responded, they said sometimes with the TRX you'll need to re-initialize the controllers and everything will be fine. He said it's done with a Witch so I wonder if alfaobd has the same option. Time to buy it and find out I guess

What is needed to use the AlphaOBD? An Android device, Vlinker MC and the app? What is the OBD cable mentioned in 1st post? Does the Vlinker have to remain plugged in? I’m ready to order so I can get this suspension warning off

I'll have the adapter tomorrow to see if it works. I'm guessing you have an unlocked ecu also. I bought this one but they also have a Bluetooth version. Android or PC once you download the program you can pay for the software.

Is there an update yet for alfaobd on the 2023’s? I hooked up to turn tailgate ajar on and it stops at 2022 and using that option it shows the value but fails to toggle to yes.

Go to setting in alfaobd and turn off ecu verification and than choose dt my2022 and it will go through

So far haven't got the message to go away. I'll jack the truck up off the ground tomorrow and see of that works.

You also need a taser or other bypass, the hptuner smart cable thing don't work

I also reset all the ECUs alfaobd had all that did was make the dash light up like a Christmas . Had to go back through everything add found a couple items changed. Changed them back and all good now but shit that made me sweat a lil!

Thanks for the update! That’s what worries me about the AlphaOBD I don’t want to f something up lol. I’m not real good with the computer side of things. I sweat a little every time I tune a new vehicle

Didn't work. Jacked it up off the ground and message is still there. Pretty messed up of hptuners to sell you a new ecu and not let you know hey there's gonna be a problem. Whole point of buyin a new ecu was to avoid issues

Anyone in the bay area cali with afaobd? Id like to see how it works before I jump on the ship. Sounds like a good bit of kit, but im a computer idiot and need to see how something works in order to understand it.

Damn. That is disappointing. I appreciate you letting me know. I may have to bite the bullet and visit a service department… or 3

Did you try the abs initialization process? I have a suspicion there is a correlation there but i can’t confirm.

I went through and reset every controller listed - didn't work
Ran the active suspension calibration on the ground - didn't work
