Ok, apologies off the bat if this has been covered previously.
Do I need PC only to get Forscan going? New Raptor owner that has spent a bit on getting it set up how I want but this is a new world for me. Learning a lot rather rapidly and would appreciate any advice/tips on how to get certain things going like TPMS etc. Got a ultra gauge running which is pretty cool and post easter hope to have the car complete. Really interested in some of the mods you guys are doing.
Again, apologies if these parts are covered already. Still learning car forums

Hi
You will need a Windows laptop, a licensed version of Forscan and a dongle which is available here.
https://www.saeb.net/wp/product/forscan ... 0-support/
You can get a free 2 month license for Forscan or purchase a license for how many years you want, all the info is on the Forscan site.
If you read this it should help you understand the procedure.

I run Forscan via VMware Fusion with a Windows 10 installation, and before that it was Windows 8.1. I use Macs exclusively.
