has anyone used alfaobd on the journey?? I have used it to unlock features on my ram truck. I have searched about the journey and have not found anything. Came across a person saying that using it helped them with issues but that was it. I tried to connect with mine it will read but won't modify im assuming that i need a bypass cable but can't find information on that if anyone has used or done please help
I have used it on my ram truck. But I have not found any info about using it on the journey. I am sure it needs a bypass harness but can't find info on that. Thats what I'm trying to find out would like to unlock some features on the wife's journey
Chances are there needs to be feedback from the mirror to the BCM for it to work - likely a different wiring harness and mirror assembly.
If my ride was newer I'd perhaps have invested in this - making the speedo a bit more accurate would have been nice - I assume that the LED setting either adjusts, or disables the current sensors for those bulbs and nothing more . . . .since there's no way I'd put LED conversions in the headlights and nothing else ever seems to burn out, that setting is of very limited utility to me personally.
Note to Miguel - if you use the appropriate size tires there is no adjustment required when switching from one size wheel to the other - they have the same circumference.
I bought alphaobd with an mx+ in order to be able to better troubleshoot some AWD circuit issues in my 200. I was also able to conclusively diagnose a faulty wiper switch on my daughters jeep. If I had know about it earlier I would have done my own proxy alignment on my 200 and saved a hundred dollars and an afternoon. When I bought the Journey a couple weeks ago, the rear windows were not working properly. I was able to connect to the driver door module and could control the front windows with the app, but not the rear ones. But I was able to see that an intermittent connection fault to the module was in the history. Turned out that the drivers door harness had a loose connection.
The awd system in the 200 uses a PTU that disengages the rear driveshaft at cruising speeds when there is no demand for torque and when it's warm and the windshield wipers aren't on. In my case, the PTU motor that engages the drive, wasn't sending the signal that it completed the shift which would throw a fault and lock out awd. AlphaOBD has a function that allows you to initiate a re-learn to reset the stop to stop thresholds on the actuator. Previously, even if i forced a switch to 4wd using the app, I could feel that it was fully engaged but the feedback indicated a shift in progress. As far as I know, only the Cherokee shares that exact PTU. I'm pretty sure the AWD Journeys have similar function as far as being on demand so maybe this could be a helpful experience for someone on here. The Journey is primarily my wife's ride and she doesn't share my disdain for FWD so when I found a GT with the Blacktop package that was well equipped with everything I wanted except awd I jumped on it.
Change your rear diff oil on time , it seems to get dirty pretty fast. Drain plug magnet gets furry. The lip seals on the two input c/v shafts have a tendency to fail a little early. In the rust belt areas corrosion eats the metal on the $25 lip seals. Spray with fluid film or other rust proofing might make them last longer. I did after changing both at around 100k miles.
I managed to get remote start working as well as the SRT Performance pages and I added additional keys, but i can't get the panic button, Sound Horn on Lock and Sound Horn on Remote Start working.
could someone post a copy of their Body Control Module and Radio Frequency Hub settings with the personal info removed (no vin/serial).
Hi Miguel
I don't really know what i'm looking for, i was just planing to do a file compare to find out what is different if my settings, that could prevent the panic button from working.
Maybe it's just the country code.
Another question: do you guys have a tailgate open button on your FOBIK?
The Freemont FOBIK only has two buttons: "open" and "close", but according to my scanner, the car does recognise if I press the trunk/tailgate button but it does not recognise the panic button beeing pressed.
After I set: Horn Chirp Allowed: Yes
The functions "Sound Horn on Lock" and "Sound Horn on Remote Start" are working.
I still have absolutely no clue why the RFH does not recognise when I press the panic button, and as long as this does not work, the function will not work.
