Price is right around where I purchased about 5 years ago. The software disc isn’t too important. You can find the most recent files online sometimes. Usually if something goes wrong, it’s relates to the OB2 to usb dongle. The rest is just finding a compatible laptop that can run it.

Im not sure if the newest versions are 64 bit compatible out of the box, or if you still have to do tweaks to it like the older versions.

If you only have one laptop available and you are worried about malicious software being installed, look into getting a virtual machine (virtualbox, VMware, parallels). Virtualbox is free to use and run but you’ll need a windows license key for your operating system.

Is there a way to add/register new set of TPMS if they already installed on the wheels?
My nephew swapped a set of used wheels with tires for his RC350 and now the light is on. Do I need the numbers on the TPMS to register, which means I have to unmount the tires. Try to avoid doing that.

Tire shop used their scan tool to reset TPMS light on my '07 G35x without documenting TPMS IDs a few years back (new sensors were added to rims)... fairly certain this can be done on anything now.

Did they use OBDII scan tool to reset?
I'm hoping for an easy way to re-register the TPMS in the new wheels to the car without having to remove the tires and read the serial numbers.

They used a handheld reader to goto every tire for 5-10 seconds to pull the code and then connected via OBD to do the final programming and reset.

Thanks! I'll ask him to get it to a tire shop then.

I bought a copy of Tech Stream on ebay should it have come with the registation key or is there a generic key.

I got frustrated and have not looked into this again. Acrad was kind enough to send me links but I still needed the registration key to move forward with the software installation.

Another day perhaps...

There should be a setting in the Vehicle Settings from your NAV screen, something like "convenient exit" (I don't remember exactly) but you should be able to make it go back full length, half length, or not at all.

is there a way to activate 'easy exit' with the vehicle running? Sometimes I get out with it running and it's a bit of a pain the way I have it set to lower the steering wheel all the way down.

You can set one of the pre-set to have it fully further back or manually move it.
