Hex is simple and concise compared to the antiquate base 10 system we use because we have 10 fingers. The entire world of technology around us is using hex.

Hex Calculator

 

Forscan also has a built in calculator

 

It's not simple and concise when you have to throw in letters to accommodate your system in order to represent numbers that work perfectly fine without letters.

I understand hex and binary, but neither is simpler than decimal for the average person to understand.

 

IF you lower the TPMS setting to reduce the tire pressure when unloaded, do you reset it to the factory setting for the higher tire pressures when you load your truck again? Or just leave it at the new setting.

 

I always left mine down.

 

Has anybody figured out if we can reprogram the distance to empty and set the fuel gauge to read empty when the tank is empty instead of the built in safety factor of 6-8 gallons.
Thanks,

this something i would be interested to do for two reasons :
1st being hate the double horn honk
2nd i want to run bigger toyo tires and don't like warning lights on the dash.

but i think all this is over my head don't think i could do it.

 

If anyone with this software is passing through Oregon anytime soon I will pay $$$ to have someone lower my TPMS threshold. This is all too confusing for me

 

same here Sacramento california for me

 

These are plain english options on the 150. I've very surprised they are manual hex changes on the SD still.

 

Once I get my truck in December (hopefully), I will help individuals in the Southern Oregon area with the software changes once I update my truck.

 

awesome I'll make the drive to have this annoying light go away

 

Another option to connect those who know with those that don't is a program called Team Viewer. It would allow a remote user access to your laptop while it's running Forscan and linked to your BT adapter. The remote Forscan pro volunteer could then make the changes for you. It's like when you get support from Dell and they have control of your screen. Once it's done you can delete Team Viewer or delete the one time password you gave them so you don't have to worry about future security. This is the same program the Indian IRS scammers and fake Indian Microsoft techs use to steal from folks. However, it was certainly not designed for that use. BMW users on the two main BMW forums have used it for years to help each other "code" their cars and SUVs. Plus, as you watch the person do it on your screen, you learn and might not need them next time...

 

Wow that is a real great plan. Before pick up can the dealership make any of these mods?

 

I'll also help anyone close to me to make changes also..
