I was having trouble with a "unable to connect to vehicle, make sure key is turned on and try again" I was trying to use a windows 7 starter netbook and thought that might have been the problem. I have been unable to download the driver from the website included with the recommended VINT el327 connector. Windows searched for a driver and found a ch340 (com 3)
so next I changed to a windows 7 laptop and downloaded the program. I still wasn't able to get the downloaded driver to load up (wouldn't recognize it) but windows found the same CH340 but shows a (com5) I thought this might have been the issue, but when I tried to connect to the truck I received the same message. I have tried the hs/ms switch in both positions. I'll include a screenshot, but it shows a green light near the vehicle icon at the bottom left corner. I'm about to call it quits. What am I doing wrong?

Has anyone figured out the FORScan codes for enabling variable line level output for the 2018 B&O system? I have a pile of speakers and amps ready to install, but no method of getting a clean full range signal...

Just got a 2018 Scab XLT with the SE pkg, 302a, 2.7 EB. My OBD adapter should be here Tuesday, and I can’t wait to start making adjustments. I picked up the kicker OEM sub and that will be the first thing on my list. While looking through the lists, I noticed one item that I could use some help on. On the ACM module, there are options under 727-01-02 for ANR mixing for speakers. Does anyone know what these are for? Does ANR stand for auto noise reduction of something? Does is shut off the DSP mixing from the radio? I have the 8” touchscreen radio w/7 speakers and nav. I ditched the OEM speakers already (they were a joke) and put in some Polk dB series ones. Def better sound but I think the head unit holds them back from their full potential. Any info is much appreciated. Thx.

I'm trying to enable a trailer brake controller in a 2018. I plugged it in and enabled the gain and module. Truck is throwing a trailer brake module fault and stating it's not communicating with the module. I have a fuse in #24 from the factory. Any suggestions?
What are the values you used to enable the TBC & gain? Post the DTC being reported and I'll lookup and post the service manual diagnosis procedure for you.

The code it's throwing is u0137. Lost communication with trailer brake control module
ALSO, AS A NOTE, I did open the dash up and made sure the controller was properly plugged in

1. In FORScan clear all DTCs
2. Go into the clipboard icon and run the TrlrBM Self-test and then read the DTCs again and post a screenshot if you can of any DTCs
