Had to jump start of the battery this morning, jumping points wouldn’t even give me lights on the dash, just lots of clicking in that fuse box, and when you try turn key it clicked the box behind the glovebox
Off the battery it fired up, tho now eml is on, tho when I get a spare moment at work today shall plug in and bring me a whole host of shopping list items up…
Yay me…

You should be able to use the free forscan. Or you just have to email themfor an activation code. Not sure how long that would take though

Right iv downloaded the licence key, it’s saved in directory under forscan but when I go to load it only comes up with data and images, neither load in the file name on the forscan licence key section..
I know I’m doing summit simple and wrong, but like me dear old mum said, I am very simple

Aye Ned, this is the way everyone said on here to use so I’m sticking with that,
Yes it’s long winded and I’m not the best one with technology, but for some reason I’m my life, my money is no good, not one person wants to come out, so I’m deciding to learn it meself…
Funny thing thing with that phrase scooby don’t, my dear old mother use to say that all the time…

Looking on a vid I found online last night, it’s pretty straightforward to do, yes I need to learn all the bits, but that’s life, and so far life’s been challenging me quite hard…hence the lack of time on here…

Least when I rebuild the Orion that will be so much easier……mainly cos I’m going to get a few pros on that, after all, that’s going rwd and with cossie power..can’t get any more simpler than that :mrgreen:

Forscan is a lot more "user friendly" than IDS is.
