AlfaOBD

Editor's Review

AlfaOBD is a powerful diagnostic tool designed for vehicles produced by Stellantis (formerly FCA), including Alfa-Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Dodge, RAM, Chrysler, and Jeep. It also supports Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Jumper models. This software offers features typically found in professional scanners, making it an excellent choice for car owners who want in-depth control over their vehicle's diagnostics. 🚗

Key Features and Benefits:

• Comprehensive Vehicle Support: AlfaOBD provides native support for Electronic Control Units (ECUs) used in Fiat group cars. This native support distinguishes it from other diagnostic applications that offer only limited generic OBDII support.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Monitor various dynamic parameters from engine, gearbox, ABS, and climate control ECUs. The data is presented graphically, making it easy to understand. 📊
• Detailed Static Data: Read static data such as ECU identification, system status, and fault codes, along with probable causes and environmental information where available.
• Fault Code Management: Clear fault codes to resolve issues and maintain your vehicle’s health.
• Active Diagnostics: Perform active diagnostics and configuration procedures for equipment controlled by various ECUs, including engine, gearbox, body computer, climate control, ABS, and airbag systems.
• Security Gateway (SGW) Bypass: Note that FCA vehicles from 2018 onwards have a Security Gateway Module (SGW) that blocks third-party diagnostics. To access full diagnostic features, an SGW bypass is required. 🛡️
• OBD Interface Compatibility: Ensure you have a compatible OBD interface. A list of supported interfaces is available at www.alfaobd.com. If you encounter "Interface reports NO DATA" or "Interface reports CAN ERROR" messages, it likely indicates an incompatible or defective interface.
• Language Support: The application is available in multiple languages, including Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Spanish. You can select your preferred language in the application settings. 🌐

Additional Notes:

• For Fiat 500X, JEEP Renegade, and Compass (MP) owners, ensure that the SGW bypass supports the second high-speed CAN bus connected to pins 12&13 of the car's OBD plug.
• If you experience issues installing or upgrading the app on your Android device, contact info@alfaobd.com.

Troubleshooting Tip: If plots are not updating, disable "Force GPU rendering" in "Settings" -> "Developer Options".
