As for the touch screen, if its an issue we'll fix it or replace it, certainly is not a common issue or anything we leave people hanging with.
I see that the PID's are in the "Tuner" layout, I apologize if I didn't make it clear that I was trying to create a new, custom layout.
If I use the touch screen, I can ONLY page down ONCE at the level where you select the PID categories after adding a gauge. If I use the Hard buttons, I can page down multiple times. I do not get the impression that the touch screen is the issue as the page down button greys out and is not available any longer via the touch screen but the hard buttons override this and allow access to further screens with additional categories. This condition is repeatable...
I didn't even cover the process that the tool took me through on it's own after doing the Cal ID update where it "uploaded" to my vehicle (on it's own, and to a "locked" PCM...). At the end of this process that the tool initiated on its own, and
subsequently failed, I was left with what I would describe as a "bricked" vehicle. In my frustration with what the tool was doing or not
and rebooting on its own to a hung, blank screen, I disconnected it at that point.
To my horror, I found my vehicle was throwing countless codes and my push button start was unresponsive, as in complete flat-line...
With no other options left to me after disconnecting the negative cable in an attempt to reset my PCM (...remember that whole LOCKED PCM thing???....) besides a trip to the dealership, which I was not looking forward to, I reattached the tool to see if I could get it to complete whatever process it was trying to do...
From my standpoint, I couldn't make the situation any worse... (I'm still struggling with the whole concept of what the tool is "writing" to or affecting if my PCM is "locked"...)
Fortunately for all involved, the tool was still on auto-pilot and managed to finishing writing successfully... ...or whatever it was doing, because the end result is that all of the codes and issues reported on my dash were gone and I again had a functional vehicle/push button start...
I can say with a lot of confidence that I didn't just come over here and start throwing stones with no effort on my part or without doing homework. I'm far from the only one who has some kind of issue with the tool as reported by various other members at my other forum. The general consensus is that the tool is not "user-friendly" to quote the typical expression used over there... Again, its behavior is tolerated because it's a means to an end...
