I talked to a Cummins tech and Dodge has really screwed this new truck up, they can't even directly communicate with there own computer, they have to go through the Dodge computer system to communicate.
It has made it hard for them to do there own programs on these new trucks.

I had mine in for some warranty work and they did the same thing, bullydog did not recognise it, but the smarty loaded right up. next time you have to take it in, go and buy a lock box and make it fit over the obd port and lock the ******** out! out of the big 3 dodge is the only one doing this bs.

Its funny you say that;
I was talking to a few techs that work at the local dealership. They said a woman came in with a truck for some maintenance like brakes or something. They put their wireless OBD controller on there and went to scan the computer and it just fried.
They then tried again with another obd reader and it also fried.
After further inspection the woman had moved her obd up under the dash out of access and placed a "fake/dummy" port where the old one would be located. She then had an inverter and rectifier setup off the battery to step up the DC voltage with a transformer to something like 100v and fed it to every connection on the dummy OBD port.
They are pursuing litigation against the lady and her defense is you dont need my ECM to change the brakes nor were you authorized to do so.
We shall see what happens.
