Yes, I purchased that same module after you mentioned it yesterday. And it connects okay. I think it may be a setting I have to do under the Gear section. I found this on Google so will switch Auto to FTDI and Hs/MS Switch. maybe that will work. Getting there I hope. Appreciate all the help!
thanks for sharing your journey here for others to follow! This is very helpful
Glad it worked for you Ian! Now return that aftermarket shift lightOK got it to work! I'm going to keep notes in case when I get vehicle serviced they reset codes etc.
1. Downloaded Forscan and also downloaded Extended License (free for 2 months). Purchased it for a year. Cheap enough. In case the factory setting gets restored.
2. Purcahsed OBDLink MX+
3. Connected OBDLink to OBD2 port and computer.
4. Switched ignition on (did not start car), opened Forscan and connected vehicle (small plug icon at bottom left of screen).
5. Went to 'Setting' on left margin - looks like a gear - selected "connection" tab. Then as per my earlier post and also below pic - shows the settings. (When opening Forscan it comes up with a window stating you have to be in 'HS/MS Switch')
6. Went to 'Configuration & Programming" icon on the left margin - looks like a micro chip.
7. In the 'Config & Prog' tab - look for IPC Module. Not any others that say IPC etc. Just 'IPC Module'.
8. Highlight 'IPC Module' and select "RUN" - Small forward looking button at the bottom left of screen.
9. The 3rd tab appears - "IPC Module Configuration". Select.
10. Scroll down the list and look for 'Performance Shift' & 'Performance Shift Indicator'. Double click and and 'enable' each one in turn.
11. Then save the settings - there are some small blue 'tick marks' to confirm. It runs and a window opens showing both and you confirm. Follow the prompts about your ignition.
12. It loads the update and then you can disconnect the OBD2.
13. Go to your vehicle settings by selecting the horse by your steering wheel.
14. You'll see the 'Performance Shift Indicator' and then you can select and adjust the settings.
15. 'Shift Point' you can adjust the max up or down before it warns you to shift(when it goes red); 'Shift Tone' if you want it to beep when you hit your shift point; 'Shift Light' mode whether you want it to be on your 'Tachometer' or 'Track' if you want the lights to warn you like in F1 etc. See pic below. There is also 'Drag' mode and not sure how that displays yet. I set my shift point to 4000 so I could test it and then I'll probably set it higher at 6500 or more for the track.
Thanks to all who pitched in with help. So now hopefully this step by step process will help those who aren't so "savvy" like me.
