Also before you change anything just make a backup of all the modules you have to do it one module at a time. It saved me when I didn't fully understand what I changed

Thanks for the tip on backups. Pretty sure I didn't get a clone, but I will get the app to verify.

Not had a fallout yet.  3+ years in service.  But then again, y'all's rides have more sophisticated systems than mine.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm running Windows 10, and the connection goes between "connected" and "paired". Apparently this is normal with Windows if a signal isn't being actively transmitted. Registered the device with the OBDwiz application, and everything seems kosher.

When I execute service procedure to program a module, it seems to stay connected, but if I clear a DTC, it will work once, then I get a "No ELM found. Please check connection and try again". If I close FORScan and reconnect it works again. I turned off a power save feature in my device manager for Bluetooth, but this didnt seem to make much of a difference. Guess I will just proceed with caution.

interesting i have windows 10 also but i have a asus bluetooth adaptor i had to buy and just used windows bluetooth device control to add the obd device .
ive never cleared a dtc with the laptop though.
let me know if you make a change to the modules and still have it disconnect just something id like to know.
if so id try to just register using windows Bluetooth.

I have only used Forscan Lite on Android to clear codes (with ignition in ON but with engine off), and never had an issue with pairing.  Sounds more of device issue on the Windows side.  I know when I tried to use Forscan on Windows 7, it was a bit picky with its' Bluetooth adapters/connections.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Windows goofiness. I did make a change to the BCM to turn off the double horn honk, and it worked with no issue.

I'll keep you guys posted if I have any other problems. Thanks! :)

It may already be here somewhere, but here is what I did to disable the double honk on '15 SHO.

Anyone using a wifi adapter with Forscan?  I want to go that route because the bluetooth isn't compatible with the iPhone app (so they say).

[/quote]I noticed on the exploder forum that the third digit number needed to be changed to a zero and just gave it a try. How long do I have to go through the verification questions before I can post? It's already getting old.

I wanted to try the AWD Gauge but that line doesn't offer to write and I did not want to try "write all", I'm still green to all this. I just got the adapter Friday.
