No windows based computer, Apple. I have very seriously considered this upgrade, but there is this nagging concern that it is pnp with a caveat.
What kind of Mac do you have? I have a MacBook Pro as well, but I dual booted mine to run windows on a small partition so that I could use forscan

Sadly, no. But you can run an emulation through parallels. It would be plenty powerful enough for it.

I have that same model and it's the greatest computer I've ever owned. :thumbsup:

If it were me, I'd try to find a family member or someone who has got an old Windows laptop they don't want. Intel chip version and graphics power are really unimportant since Forscan is not a processor-intensive app. Luckily my son had an old gaming laptop laying around, and we have dedicated that as the sacrificial Forscan machine.

There is obviously a lot of stuff beyond the infotainment you could tweak and manage with Forscan; if you could make the value proposition work out for you, you could also look at pawn shops or Goodwill to see how cheap of a used machine you could find...

I'll check around to see if someone has an old PC laying around I can use.

this is the BASE XL/XLT (aka sync 2.5) to Sync 4 kit. it comes with the display, APIM, ACM, wire harness and GPS extension cable. it's plug and play. the only thing I had to do was use Forscan to enable the ambient lighting in the APIM.
