Which version of the forscan software is preferred for a windows 10 laptop?
If you want to have your PowerPoint truly work all the time, you need to hard wire it. The battery saver system can still turn off the outlets, even after changing the setting with Forscan. Search for Livoniabob in the forum. He has the instructions on how to do it, I'd post it as a link but doing this via phone.

So here's a rough draft of the new spreadsheet I'm considering: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=107006732

I used an app called GIPHY CAM for the animated turn signals

Use two GPS devices and they should match. The vehicle inherently has a upper and lower % that the speedometer can be off and still be within specs. As long as the calculator was made properly the best method to use is the bottom portion (my opinion).

That new tab looks good.

I don't have DRLs. Do you want pics of the stock halogen, with park & headlights on?
I don't have tow mirrors so I imagine no need for pics of them?

That's sharp- you can see them functioning before you decide if you want to change or not. Bad to the bone.

I think we already have the Halogens covered by another member but thanks for the offer

I think I'm going to have to find the diagrams for my '18 802A and check to see how my 'markers' are connected to the BCM.

After I asked the initial question about the use of terminology I went back for another stab at adjusting my DRL settings. I reset everything to factory (restored the ABT for BCM) and then simply set the option for just "parking lights" to come on.

Result was I finally got what I was looking for, only "halos" and markers on as DRLs.

Livnitup I have stock LED rears so I can only do the front Halogen (Sorry - didn't think of that when I offered)

No problem. Ok, we need a volunteer who has stock Halogen front & rears with DRLs who can use the values on the new spreadsheet and take some pics and email them to me. Again, because this spreadsheet is still in the rough draft stage you may (probably will) be called on to volunteer with additional pics for other values as well.
