Old one is plenty capable, 5yr old win10, 1tb/32ram—just a slow I3 processor.
But, today I had to order a new battery for it.

I guess I’ll download the program onto the new one and just use the temp license for now.
Adaptors and cables coming tomorrow, and I won’t get battery til next week.
Wow that's a rare system to have 32gb ram and only has Intel i3

I have an older I3 with 32g of ram. But admittedly I added the ram.

That machine is still, after 5-6 years, the backbone workstation for much of my network admin tasks. It won't die, so I keep it in place

it was not a shelf item—I ordered it.
same with my Spectra360—was ordered fully optioned

way more than pleased with both of them.
different tasks for each of them.
what might take the old one several hours to accomplish, the new one does in about 5 min.

I know this will not be popular, and has been mentioned before, but has anybody seen a way to boost the fake engine noise sound? I actually like the concept and wish it was louder.
Fully agree. I, for one, would also like to know the answer to this. Sadly though, most questions I am curious about go unanswered in this forum. They like to focus on tire size and stuff here.

ABS 760-04-01 xxxx xxx8 xx-- adds Trail

ABS 760-04-01 xxxx xx8x xx-- adds Rock Crawl. Thanks @Livnitup!!
Any risk of damaging the power train in any way by adding rock crawl mode? Not sure if that just changes shift points and stuff like all the other modes or not.

My guess would be that it is possible but there is probably no one looking into figuring it out. If you were a Forscan guru, you might be able to figure it out. For me, I’m at the mercy of those who have the knowledge and time to figure stuff out lol.

I don't think there are any adjustments for the volume of the propulsion sound. I think it's just an audio calibration in the ACM module.

Might get to play with this stuff today.
The bluetooth adapter claims it will be fine for GM stuff for reading and testing.
The box this OBDLink MX+ came in rivals a good jewelry store box

Wow my MX+ didn't come with a case when I ordered 1+ years ago.
I really don't use the MX+ much for Forscan. I use my EX or UCDSv4 adapters most of the time.

The MX+ really is such a good adapter though.
I really wish that forscan was updated to work with iOS/iPAD.

I would agree with tonesto7, I do not think there is a volume adjustment for the engine sound enhancement, but if you want to experiment you can change the calibrations and see if it results in something you like better.

ACM
727-04-01 xxxx **xx xx

is the calibration for various engines. 00 is the V8 which gets nothing by default. Everything else is a different engine and probably various vehicles. One of them might result in a “louder“ experience.

Well the mode is the same as the FX4 trucks, but it wouldn't be smart to drive in 4 low or 4 high while going to the grocery store on dry pavement.

Of course. Just wanted to make sure that it doesn't depend on special equipment in the FX4 to make it work. The LAST thing I want to do is add a drive mode a blow up my truck...

It won't hurt your truck. It just activates lockers (if you have), puts you in 4L, and adjusts throttle + transmission setpoints along with traction control.

When adding global windows I came across a couple things. I did have to add global windows to the APIM. Then had to turn the features on in setting/vehicle/windows. To close the windows I only have to press and hold the lock button once on the fob.

New to FORscan, in order to update the firmware to the latest version do I need to have the obdlinkex plugged into my truck and forscan running? I downloaded the firmware and didn’t have forscan open just the obdlink plug into my laptop and receive an error message saying wrong device. I’ve tried everthing looked for help in other threads and no luck so any help or thoughts would be appreciated
