    ALFAOBD

    I have a 2012 Big Horn that I’m adding a couple of features to, and I’ve been told dealers are no longer for some of the earlier 4th Gens; they are not inclined to add sales codes for these trucks.

    I know that ALFAOBD can be used in 12 model trucks.

    I was just curious if anyone has recommendations as to what to source for 10-12 models; I see lots of write-ups on the use of 13+ years but not for earlier years.

    I was looking to enable power-folding mirrors as the next project

    I just ordered this one OBDLink® MX+ Bluetooth says they can support OSx for Apple iPhone and iPad, and download is free, so we shall see.

    Mirrors and puddle lights are an ultra common thing right now, LOL.

    Mirror controls are built into the TIPM.

    Unless there have been marked changes in the functionality of 3rd party hardware, TIPM adjustments require a WiTech.

    Mirrors and puddle lights?

    NO IT'S NOT A HEMI!

    Re: alphaOBD

    Ok I have received the OBD 2 however not yet been successful in getting necessary changes made to the electronics to recognize the mirrors, I should have asked this prior but was curious if anyone was aware of any dealers or shops in California or Nevada that will upload necessary sales codes or enable features that someone adds themselves so the hardware can be recognized. I am I am in these area a fair bit and figure I could make the trek

    So as I stated previously, what you are asking for requires a WiTech Scan Tool. The best thing that you can do is just call around to multiple dealerships and see what they say.

    one thing i have to add to this is the dealer gives a couple sheets of codes that your truck came with. you can see the same thing with alfaobd but it doesnt show codes it just says what it is and set and not set.

    I have yet to hear or see of a dealer willing to add sales codes to a truck.

    They are such sticklers or tell you it cant be done.

    They also like to fight with you about getting the pin number fro your truck to program new key fobs but I tell them its my truck and I have the right to them and show them title registration and ID and got it from them.

    I walked into my local dodge dealer and got the pin from the parts department. No questions asked other than I had to provide my drivers license and registration. I used the pin to program two new key fobs for my 2010 with AlphaOBD.
