Alpha obd anyone?

Lots of post on Cummins forum and ram forums. Thinking about it for my 18 Cummins to set new tpms settings when I get new tires. Seems pretty solid, but wanted to see if any of the nc4x4 crowd has any experience

It was mentioned here and there was another thread awhile back about it.

I have it and used it for the tpms. Works great, no issues.
I also turned on daytime running lights and set it to the parking lights.
I also have my fog lights stay on with the high beams.

It isn't the most user friendly software I have used, but with what I watched online and read it went smoothly.

You will need the app, a Bluetooth obd plug and the code from dodge to unlock your truck. I had to pay them for mine. $25 I think.
I think the app only works with Android, so if you have an Iphone you might be out of luck.
Seems like they had a free download of the app that you can poke around with but it won't change the truck.

This is the obd link I bought. It is one of the recommended ones. Some of the cheaper one's didn't work well from what I read.

It is alfaobd. Works great. The 2018 has a firewall on the obd port so you have to also buy a bypass cable to use it for any changes.

The pin number from ram should be free.

You can get it for android or windows. No iPhone app.

I've gotten pin numbers from Dodge to unlock the pcm to program keys, over the phone, sith the VIN number.. ymmv
