The average Forum-goer knows nothing first hand of the software in these vehicles. Not surprised they stood their ground without knowledge.
You also can’t just pump in 91/93 and feel an immediate difference. You have to give time for the OAR to adjust and trust the improved octane. There are...
Yes, I have one. They are fairly easy to use and the Forscan software is free to use. I think you need a Windows Laptop to use it, I didn’t try on my Mac.
I guess I bought it on eBay and not Amazon like I originally thought. But you can buy it on either site.

You won’t be...
