I had the same issues with my 2014 Ram 3500 where it would not take the program corrected engine hours. It took over 20 tries and eventually I was successful in the cluster taking the corrected engine hours.

Ryan Mayer has switched instrument clusters in a few of his builds on his channel. You should message him and ask if he had the same issues and what he did to fix it if he did. I see he is always reaching out to people when he has a problem.

John not that I know but what if you put the old cluster in and read the data off of it and then put the new one in and program it would that make a difference???? Just throwing an idea out there!! Good luck getting it done!!!!

The best thing about the computer version is it let you pull the truck Pin vs the OBDplus Bluetooth version. That if you want to upgrade keys or add keys you can program the truck. I think that’s the only real bonus of the PC ALPHAObd Verson.

Are you talking about that 4-digit/5-digit pin code? You can read that now from the android version. I had to use it for one feature I set on my 2500

@RamChaos 2 жыл бұрын

@@scottmccambley764 correct - the pin you need to input to rest your RF hub and program new keys. Maybe the whole premise was I don’t use android so I didn’t want to buy an Android device so I got the pc version. Now however there is the IOS version. I could have sworn there was something you could do with the PC and not the app version. Meh. At the end of the day I think both work and am actually considering the MXplus version as well to have.

I’m not sure if your year is doing the same as mine but mine is a 2019 and I had to input a number 20k higher than what I was trying to get to. It’s weird. Example. If I wanted the odometer to read 20,000 I had to input 40,000 and then tweak it from there to get close. Same with the hours. All with the latest and greatest AlphaOBD software. Hope that helps. I’ve also added trailer brakes, fog lights and aux switches. Give me a jingle if you need assistance. 😊

Hi brother I'm sorry to bother you. i just got the same pc Alfa OBD it was all good when I 1st got it but then I was told the following text below. Yeah every time you use that one you need to reinstall the driver for it because Windows replaces the driver Not the version the OBD link driver provided by OBD link Windows thinks there's a better driver but there's not not compatible so Windows replaces the driver with the driver that doesn't work. Can u help me via TeamViewer I can pay?

So I have an idea (eventually, its expensive) for my Ram. I was going to get the Stinger Heigh10 display and build a desktop PC into the space my radio used to occupy. Build my tuning PC into my dash. Like a Micro-ATX tower

@scottmccambley764 2 жыл бұрын

I'm trying the same thing with a 10.4" NavOS (Linkswell T-style Gen 4) head unit but cant access the builtin bluetooth hardware from installed app versions of AlphaODB and Torque Pro using a OBDLink MX OBD2 dongle .They got it so locked down to zlink for phone and music streaming. From this video I am going to try the OBDLink EX USB cable instead, since the android versions of these apps do have the interface drivers for ELM327 USB preinstalled. You might run into the very same bluetooth connection issues with the Stinger, even worse being a brand name. Since AD Hoc WiFi networking is a No Go with this 8.1 Android OS unit this is my last simple fix attempt.
