I'm new to this, but had a play a few days ago, enabled Bambi mode and removed the dreaded double honk.
I have a few more changes on my wish list (5 flash indicators, remove seatbelt annoyances etc)

However, Forscan doesnt detect my IPC. Have I done something wrong or do I have a version it doesn't recognise yet?

And yeah, the DTC is a short in the interior light - I think I broke it replacing the bulb for a nice cool white - awkward little thing.

Cheers

Hi.
Are you using a licensed version, either a time limited free licence or a paid one because an unlicensed version is very limited.
If you are licensed then I would say your dongle may be the reason.
Not all dongles will read all modules.
The dongle available for purchase from this site will read all modules.

Cheers RossPat.

I'm on the 2 month license.
It could be the dongle.

I've got a few laying around. Will try another.

It's a little awkward to have much of anything delivered around here at present. We're in lockdown.

Your adaptor is not compatible with MSCAN.

Thanks Stewart.

Willing to bet my K+DCAN INPA compatible one won't be any use either.

I'll just order the recommended one and hope it gets through before I lose my mind. We're one week in to a 4 week coronavirus lockdown.

Not even Level 4 Lockdown can stop the mail - eventually.

This looks a lot better. Now to work out what I want to change.

Thanks Stewart.
