About this app

AlfaOBD software for diagnostics of the cars produced by FCA: Alfa-Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Dodge, RAM, Chrysler, Jeep. Peugeot (Boxer), Citroen (Jumper) are also covered. Although the software is primarily targeted for car owners, it provides the features of professional scanners. Many dealer-level diagnostic and configuration procedures are available.

NOTE: FCA vehicles since MY2018 have security gateway module (SGW) installed. It blocks the third-party diagnostics. To have full access to the diagnostic features, please use an SGW bypass. Owners of Fiat 500X/JEEP Renegade/Compass (MP), please make sure that the bypass supports the second high-speed CAN bus, the one that is connected to the pins 12&13 of the car OBD plug.

NOTE: if your Android device is not in the list of compatible devices on Google Play and you cannot install or upgrade your installation please contact [e-mail].

Make sure you have a compatible OBD interface. For the list of supported OBD interfaces see www.alfaobd.com.

NOTE: If AlfaOBD can not connect to a car ECU with the message "Interface reports NO DATA" or "Interface reports CAN ERROR" it most probably means your interface is not compatible or defective.

For the details of configuration of connection to interface and car see application help available on http://www.alfaobd.com/AlfaOBD_Android_Help.pdf

- native support of Electronic control units used in Fiat group cars. Native support differs AlfaOBD from many other diagnostic applications providing only limited generic OBDII support of Fiat group cars

NOTE: If plots are not updated, make sure that "Force GPU rendering" is off in "Settings"->"Developer Option".

Ratings and reviews

This app is very useful for Jeep, dodge, and Chrysler vehicles. Fiat vehicles also. Remember to make a backup before doing any changes. Remember to make only one change at a time. Those two tips will make sure you do not mess up you vehicles computer systems. The developer also replies to messages very quickly and seems to always be willing to do what they can to help. I'm anxiously awaiting the next update so I will be better able to use this app for my 2022 jeep compass Trailhawk.

It did everything I needed +. Slightly confusing, slightly buggy, but the help guides you through pretty well. Worth every penny, seeing as the dealer was going to charge $348 to do the same thing this $50 program did. I couldn't afford recommended Bluetooth interface, bought a cheap one, still worked flawlessly.

Works great, enjoy having control over specific features for my truck. I do wish there were better instructions. Where to find key AlfaOBD features for my truck. To include, all app generated lists need be sorted in alphabetical order. Using the app, there's so many choices, would be easier in alphabetical. Yes, I'd recommend this to those that know what they are doing.
