It's goofy in my opinion because there was already a file folder called "Forscanlicense" created when I downloaded it originally, yet I had to create a new folder in the SAME location and drag the og one into it to work. I've never had to do that for anything else I've ever done and it sounds like, from reading the Forscan forum, that Windows 10 is the only one that you need to do that to. Like I said my opinion.

It's not even Windows' problem.........Forscan's software writers just didn't point to a more accessible default directory. If your downloads through whichever is your preferred browser usually point to a certain folder such as X:\Users\xxx\Downloads, then your downloaded licence key will be there along with all the other stuff you've downloaded through said browser. Forscan's not the first program out there that's necessitated a few extra tedious clicks each time you open up Explorer.

APIM module 7D0-01-01 is supposed to turn off Sirius by changing the 1st x value. But the 2nd line of the spreadsheet also shows that same x value changing the Sony Sound Processor.
Anyone know if that is correct? Mine is a 2. I want to shutoff Sirius.

Thank You. I shot myself in the foot trying to make it easy. I printed out the pages. I now see each bottom tab has to be opened separately to reveal the info for each module.

Each number can control 4 different things. There are 4 bits in that value that can be changed independently. You then add those bits up to get the value you need.
1 - unknown
2 - Sirius XM radio (2 is on, 0 is off)
4 - unknown
8 - Sony Sound Processor (8 is on, 0 is off)

So, if you have an "A" (which has a numeric value of 10) you have 2 (Sirius) and 8 (Sony) added together. Subtract the value of the one you want to turn off.

Since yours is a 2, you need to subtract Sirius XM radio (2). You need to put a 0 in there.

Thank You very much for that in depth explanation.

Found another very helpful change to make to get rid of the annoying warning chime when the key is in the ignition (KIWC). In the IPC module 720-02-01 xx* . See the spreadsheet for your value.

Thanx again to all the people that make these customizations possible.

Ya, forscan has some complicated issues for getting the extended license installed. I made this a while ago to help.

If there was a folder called Forscanlicense created when you downloaded it originally, that's because you created that folder yourself when downloading. When you download a file, your browser, or you, decide where that file is going to be placed. Your original screen shots even show the only folders created when you install the application. The main thing though is you got it installed, good deal!
