AlfaOBD

Editor's Review

AlfaOBD is a powerful diagnostic tool designed for Stellantis (FCA) vehicles, including Alfa-Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Dodge, RAM, Chrysler, and Jeep. It also supports Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Jumper models. 🚗 This software offers features comparable to professional scanners, making it ideal for car owners who want in-depth control and diagnostics. Many dealer-level procedures are available, providing comprehensive functionality. 🛠️

Important Note: FCA vehicles from MY2018 onwards have a security gateway module (SGW) that blocks third-party diagnostics. To fully access diagnostic features, using an SGW bypass is necessary. Fiat 500X, JEEP Renegade, and Compass (MP) owners should ensure their bypass supports the second high-speed CAN bus connected to pins 12&13 of the OBD plug. ⚠️

If you face installation or upgrade issues on your Android device, reach out to info@alfaobd.com. Ensure you have a compatible OBD interface; check www.alfaobd.com for supported interfaces. 🌐 If AlfaOBD shows "Interface reports NO DATA" or "CAN ERROR," your interface may be incompatible or defective. 😕

AlfaOBD provides native support for electronic control units in Fiat group cars, distinguishing it from generic OBDII applications. You can monitor various dynamic parameters of engine, gearbox, ABS, and climate control ECUs, presented graphically. 📊 The software reads static data like ECU identification, system status, and fault codes with probable causes. Fault codes can be cleared, and active diagnostics and configuration procedures are available for various equipment. 🔑 Key and RF remote programming are also supported. For a complete list of supported control units, visit http://www.alfaobd.com. 💻

The application is available in Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Spanish. You can select your preferred language in the application Settings menu. 🌍 If plots aren't updating, disable "Force GPU rendering" in "Settings" -> "Developer Options".
