Yes, I has the Trailer programming added in the last to second last release. Being multiple modules are you would be better off with a quality adaptor unless you can get that device to work properly.

I have one type here wp/ in the shop or you can find different brands elsewhere depending on your requirement.

If it is not viewable on the PX3 then I will need to get it moved across. I think I will see one tomorrow and try to remember to double check.

You either do not have the ignition on or do not have the latest version of Forscan I would say or worst case yes your dongle is just not compatible.

Which ever way that adaptor would not be compatible with all the module that need to be programmed.

Sounds like Forscan is up to date.

It's not a given that all adaptors works and most wifi china tools do not.

Basically the cheap wifi clone elm will not work.

Yes, my adaptors will work 100% or I would not sell them.

Is your ignition on?
Have you removed any other devices from OBD ports?
