I then proceeded to test the auto leveling system through the software and when I was satisfied that it does not appear it will be an ongoing issue, I cleared the code in the lighting module…. Because it had not happened enough times (yet) it was not showing any trouble codes in the EVIC, but I was still able to see the error code in the lighting module itself. You can check for and clear trouble codes, run diagnostics and where applicable, change features.įor example, I was able to connect to the lighting system and found that I have had an intermittent error with the left headlight auto leveling system. Honestly, I am blown away with what all you can access with this thing.Įssentially right out of the gate, even with just the cheap OBD interface and software you can access any module in your vehicle that works on the main Can Bus. You will need a Security Gateway Bypass module, either the Zautomotive T-bypass, double or single bypass or equivalent. However, if I had it to do over I would just go with the one AlfaOBD recommends (OBDLink MX).īecause I did not have the recommended interface I wasn’t able to connect to a few of the modules and would need an additional adapter. Amazingly, I had MUCH better luck with the cheap VGate option!!! The Kiwi4 kept disconnecting randomly. I tried both the new PLX Kiwi4 and a cheapo generic from Amazon that was on a lightning deal at the time (Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0). Check out the AlfaOBD page for more details and recommendations. You will need a compatible OBD interface.
Suggest, before attempting any of this be sure to skim through the instructions/help pdf on getting started. I welcome feedback from those who have used DiagFCA to help others compare and contrast the two options. I emailed some questions to both companies and never heard back from DiagFCA, but did from AlfaOBD, so that is what pushed me the way I went.
There is another option (DiagFCA) as well and I have no idea if AlfaOBD is better or worse. So I decided to give the AlfaOBD software a shot.įor those not aware, this is a software package for Windows or Android devices that allows you to run diagnostics on almost every module and electronic device in your FCA vehicle and change many options that before, only the dealer could do (for a charge).
