Anyone using AlphaOBD and OBDLink MX+?

[ScottLars]

Trying to get AlphaOBD to work with OBDLink MX+. I'm seeing on Ram and other forums that it is the best for the ecodiesel. Not having any luck yet getting it to recognize the engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What are you trying to achieve? I'm not sure what would qualify it as the "best"?

 

[ScottLars]

DPF monitoring and forcing regen if needed.

It appears that they don't have the JT 3.0 engine support yet.

Not sure if any app, at this time, can do a forced regen. But for DPF monitoring, you should be able to use Torque, OBD Fusion, etc. to get that info going. This thread has a lot of good info related to the codes/equations to monitor DPF related items: https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/ecodiesel-specific-pids.76936/

I've used them and they do most of what I want. Currently my DPF % is stuck at 100. I'm sure I have interrupted a regen and it's waiting for a completed cycle to reset the %. So now I don't know how close I actually am to a regen cycle. From the other forums and some Youtube videos(on a WK2 GC i think.), you are able to force a regen even when parked. This would make it convenient to do a regen on your terms instead of the computers.

Ahh, yeah... I think I was a bit worried at the beginning, but that calculation that you're seeing doesn't actually mean it's at 100%, just that the system is ready for/doing a regen.

Lots of info here as well, if you haven't checked it: https://www.ram1500diesel.com/threads/official-torque-pro-app-thread.1582/

Is there a security bypass cable for the 2020 gladiator yet? Can't seem to find anything on it. I have an alphaobd that worked great on my ram with a security bypass cable, but I can't find anything on the Gladiator...

 

[ScottLars]

I use this.

It should be the same security cable you used with the RAM. It's for 'Chrysler' vehicles, it's not Jeep specific.

Tazer sells a Security bypass extension cable that makes connection real easy.

Thanks for the info, I liked all the features I could change with alpha obd, but you need to flash a copy of your computer before you make any changes and write down the changes you make. Just throwing that out there.

I don't believe AlphaOBD supports the gen 3 ecodiesel yet.
