AlfaOBD Tips and Tricks

[Jimmy07]

I tried the OBD Vlinker MC on my 22 but for what ever reason it would fail to make the change. It said something about the reader failed to do something and to contact the manufacturer. Im returning it and going to try. The OBD Link MX + as you suggested.
Thanks for the write up its extremely helpful.

Everything was good up to the point you made the change?
What are you using for the security gateway bypass, and where are you plugging the vLinker into?
The behavior you describe is as if the gateway is not bypassed.

It sounds like you didn't use a security bypass. You'll need one of these too.

Can you keep the fog lights on with high beams with AlfaOBD or is that a tazer only thing?

Yes.

You can do that with AlfaOBD.

Do you happen to know the steps to engage this?

Is there an option to keep DRL strip max brightness for parking lights?

I noticed it dims down when i switch to parking lights

It's helpful for others if parking lights are just that, parking lights. There's most likely some law about how bright parking lights can be.

Has anyone turned off the seatbelt chime in a 23 with the alfaobd? Doesn't bother me, but a friend really wants to turn it off.

It can't be done with AlfaOBD and the old seatbelt trick doesn't work on the TRX.
