AlfaOBD settings

[onebad427]

There isn't one - you have to change the source at the fuse panel. There's even a jumper kit for that.
That one otherwise isn't selectable.
Wrangler people have been doing that for quite a while and have info, and I've seen the guys post about it here along with the link to the jumper that connects it to a different fuse.

Jeep powers it this way to keep people from killing their batteries with accessories and then complaining to the dealer that their batteries died or the jeep won't start. Well, maybe, but in reality, "lighter" sockets have been powered both ways for decades. Going back to the 80s and before, some lighters were live all the time, some only in accessory mode so Jeep is likely just making a choice like was done in your father's days

Thanks!
I know my ram had one that was always hot, and one switched. I'll figure this one out.

I'll figure this one out.

I have no doubt.
Very doable.

I like the fact it's only on when running the truck because me being me, I'd forget and walk away with my Christmas wreath still on and drain the battery. My wife asked - will this turn off or will it kill your battery.
I told her to watch as I shut the truck off. She was happy.
But there ARE times one that's always on would be handy, too........... maybe I need two of them.

Yeah, I'd like to have always on for my Garmin dash cam. It has a parked surveillance mode to keep an eye on things

I know we’re off topic here, but it surprises me that you have to do some fuse panel hacking to change it on the JT and JL. My old JK, Liberty, and the current RAM trucks have a 3 hole fuse slot where you can shift the fuse over to make the outlet always hit or only when in ACC/Run.

Has anyone went this route to make it constant power?

Autozone has this same relay for $17.99

If you have the factory Aux switches, there’s a duplicate bundle of the underhood wires under the passenger side of the dash for each switch. Also in that bundle is a switched and always hot wire as well, you can use that for wiring the camera too.

Thanks, but I don't have the AUX switches.

 

[onebad427]

Okay, I am considering adding the Aux switches. Does anyone know if I can enable them with the AlphaOBD?

I sent the developer an email yesterday about adding "Forced Regen" and "ADAS" relearn" features.

I feel all of us who are making tire and suspension changes should be addressing ADAS? Doesn't seem like many are performing the service locally and not interested in modified vehicle calibrations.

Relock is preference setting. Yours is just off.

Do you have the Front Trailcam? Those rear camera settings need to be off if you do. They refer to a different rear camera. Trailcam equipped trucks use a different rear camera part entirely. You use the CVPM rear camera instead. The rear camera connects to it. Without the Trailcam, the rear camera connects to the radio unit.

I've tried to figure out what it does - and seems to do nothing at all.
Ideas?

If you turn the truck off, open the door and get out with key, walk away, it should lock itself.
