Livinitup, Have you changed your tpms for your 35" tires? I run 50-55psi in mine but I think they were 35 on the original.

I meant the gears showing up on the 8" productivity screen. This is accomplished today by pressing gear up on the shifter but goes away once the car is turned off and on again.
You must be pushing the + - button by mistake while shifting,, or like me while resting right hand on shifter while driving with left hand.. I only do this a few times per trip...

I was hoping to be able to report good news today but my window of opportunity ran out and I had to disconnect everything this morning cause as you can see from the pics below, I installed everything loosely and had sensors taped to bumper. I was hoping to get audible chimes working at the very least and also wanted enhanced ability for Active Park Assist (Park Out & better Perpendicular Park).

I kept the wire harness I made intact so if any new info comes my way I may revisit this in the future.







Fingers crossed that you can get this working. Let me know if I can help.

No write up or pictures, all I did was take the dozen or so screws out and pull the back off the bezel. Then remove the screws from the electronic board that is over the switches. Also two connectors to disconnect and then swap the boards. The plastic buttons just pop out, so I swapped those out.
It was nice to have the extra bezel to find out how things came apart.

If you have covered blank openings where a switch is supposed to be, the electronic board underneath doesn't have any connections there, so they have different boards for the different option packages.

When I swapped Bezels, I got a few DTC's, so I tried putting my VIN in and my AB, but things still didn't quite work correctly, I kept getting a message for the left temperature sensor was missing or something to that effect.

I'd have to take it apart again to take photos, although I could use the extra one I have now.

Default Forscan adapter question

Can this adapter be used instead of the Bluetooth adapter?

It can but look at the reviews it has connection issue. Plus you can't use an iPhone/iPad to make changes.

It can be.. I used it for a while and it worked without issue.
They have since updated firmware for it and it is much more stable.

I'd only get this one if you have an iPhone/iPad and want to use the FORScan app to monitor PIDs and DTC's.
Other than that get the bluetooth one.
