Anyone with an AlphaOBD licence that could help me program the “tailgate ajar” warning?

Running MacOS and iOS devices means I don’t have a handy option for installing the software and I thought I would reach out to see if anyone here can assist.

Thanks!

I bought the app and resurrected an Android phone to run it. If anyone needs help, feel free to reach out. I'm in the Newmarket area.

2. Turn of 3 honk while running
3. Fogs stay on with bright headlights

Tazer is the answer! Have one and it’s a great add-on that is improving dramatically with firmware updates. It’s not perfect but it’s great at what it does.

The only reason I would rather go Alpha route is I want these settings permanently without having something plugged in like the Tazer

Always backup before making any changes.

Modify the setting ECUConfig 4 - Tailgate Ajar Indication to Yes

It will show in cluster animation and indicator

1 and 3 can both be changed in the settings. I haven't tested to confirm it acutally works. I've never seen anything for #2.

The Tazer can do these things. I've been using it since may 2021 no issues and constant updates.

Unlikely but I figured I’d ask, does the taser allow you to recalibrate the active suspension? I haven’t seen anything about it, I know the AlphaOBD does.

I think that's a dealer only thing..
That’s what I figured but worth the ask….plus would give me a reason to by a taser. I just pulley/tune/injectors and since then my suspension needs to be recalibrated. Service manager at Ram dealership sounded clueless when I explained what I needed of them. I have an appointment Tuesday with them to hopefully get it resolved.

I have a pulley, and lift sitting in the truck waiting to install, but I bumped into a guy on here that lives close, and hope he can help me out, he works for a new car store, maybe have his top tech install both for me.

Was the dealer able to recalibrate suspension and get the warning to stay off?

lol ya….shit show. I enter Into the service dept and tell them I was here for the oil change and to have suspension recalibrated. I explained the PCM was going to throw codes cuz it’s tuned but there is a service bulletin for the truck for the dash warnings. I show her the TSB, explain how to recalibrate the suspension, even offer to talk to tech. 2 hours go by and the tech pulls the truck out front. I approach him and ask if it’s all set, he tells me that he doesn’t understand what’s going on with the truck, it has a ton of codes (duh, it’s tuned), he tried to recal the suspension but It didn’t work. I asked him if he lifted truck for recal and he says “of course, I lifted it for the oil change”. I go inside and tell the original woman that the tech didn’t do the recal correctly. She challenges me and I ask if she will print the TSB and directions that I had from forum and FB on how to recal suspension. She prints them and I request service manager looks at them. They pull my TRX back into the bay and legit less then 15 mins later pull it back out and tell me it’s all set and fixed. On to the good part…..they tried to charge me for 2.5 hours of labor. I explained that if they listened to me in the first place it would have taken 15 minutes…..as was demonstrated when they finally looked at my instructions. Secondly, I explained that wether the the truck was tuned or not there was still a TSB explaining that if the truck loses power then the suspension has to be recalibrated, THIS should be covered under warranty. She disagreed and went into the back to talk to manager. She came back a short time later and told me if I wrote a 5 star review of the dealer then I wouldn’t be charged any labor for it, I obviously agreed to that. Trucks been perfect, no more dash warnings or anything.

Sounds like you have a service department similar to my local dealers. Glad you were able to coach them through it!
