Good to hear thanks for the report. Forscan appears to be suffering under the sanctions so I am not sure if it is still an option.
I was able to get another free license a couple of weeks ago.

Forgot to report back, but Carista got all the modifications to work that I wanted to work (e.g. closing windows with press of lock, then long press, similar to how you can roll the windows down with the remote). One possible exception: disabling ASS (but I haven't tested that lately). They got it to work through a workaround, it appears, by saying that the battery was low (?), so the engine would keep running--but the "battery low" warnings were more of a nuisance than the ASS itself.

Cool! Remind me, was one of your requests a way to disable the infamous double honk and if so did they give you that?

I confess in my past IT life I learned to loath working with Russian software/programmers - they just see the (computer) world in a way I can hardly grasp, so I as of yet have not done anything with Forscan and it is looking like this Carista might be a real alternative option.

That didn't bother me too much, and I don't recall seeing that in the settings that could be changed. Next time I connect I'll take a look to be sure.

No, that was not one of my main requests. I took a look, and if there's a way to disable the infamous "double honk" (car running, key in pocket, leave car, close door with car still running), I don't see it.

If you know what it's called, in Forscan perhaps, let me know and I'll e-mail them. Apparently I'm a beta tester now, they release a new version and push a new version for me to try when I have problems. If you tell me precisely what to ask for, I can ask for it.
