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).

Theoretically the Kiwi BT adapter IS iOS compatible, and is well-rated on Amazon if you want to give it a try.

Otherwise for wifi, I have found Veepeak/vGate/iCar adapters to be the fastest/last the longest.  Still no contest against the MX BT adapter, but not bad.

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 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.
Ohh give me the line for wed please?! I've done the write all it's safe but just in case I have a manual save of all the modules and the as built file from before

I enabled the AWD gauge on my SHO.  On my 2015, I changed 720-01-02 from 8AFC-4CF0-3F2B to BAFC-4CF0-3F5B.  Of course, the last byte is the checksum.  Works great, although I rarely use it.

Interesting note, if you have navigation, this also changes the speed limit indicator on the right IP from the US version to the "international" version (white circle with red border).

IOS maybe, but the iPhone app needs wifi according to this link http://forscan.org/comparsion.html

Am I reading that right

Seems so.  Worth a post on the forscan forum and/or a call to kiwi directly, if you want to pursue.

Hawkeye93 has it, my checksum was different. Went for it and clicked "write all", now I have the AWD Gauge. I thought it'd be fun to play with for a couple days.

That is interesting I'm curious if there is away to get speed limit posted from a non nav unit kinda seems not if that changes when you have nav.
There is probably another spot to edit or another way of turning it on so that doesn't change.

I'm pretty sure you can enable navigation on a non-nav car using FORScan; I read about it on one of the other forums.  Obviously, you need to buy an SD card.  I have factory navigation, so I didn't mess with it.

Wife said she had to change the screen off the AWD Gauge on her commute this morning, said she kept staring at it. Lol

AFAIK the only way to add Navigation,instead of compass on the right side of the instrument cluster is through IDS Software and then you will need a Vin-specific AB File in order to program the Data for the IPC.IIRC
