Are there minimum computer requirements for FDRS? I’m a Mac guy and just purchased this cheap laptop from Best Buy to use with forscan: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-1...star-black-star-black/6498806.p?skuId=6498806

Will this basic laptop handle the FDRS and all the updates etc? Or should I return it for a better unit? My Mac’s are desktops otherwise I would use windows on the Mac.

Thanks for all your help!
As long as it isn't an ARM processor and running full Windows, I think any currently available new PC will work. May be a little slow opening FDRS, but it should be ok otherwise. The download page for the software does have some minimum specs listed.

EDIT: Also, make sure you have at least one USB-A port, preferably 2

Gateway updates are live for 2021

ther may be apim after I don’t know but this update unifies the 21 and 2022 FINALLY on the same gateway software


Edit.. No APIM We may be getting closer than I thought though because my testing for 22228 which is the strechable CarPlay required HKC gateway to work right. SO patience may pay off here.
I installed the gateway update tonight on my 21, Job 2. No issues to report!

Awesome. I have needed a good FDRS fix for weeks now! The addiction continues....

Any Canadians here that have a Mongoose they are willing to loan out? Willing to throw someone a bunch of cash plus arrange for shipping to update my Job 1 21MY.

I have a VXNano but I'm thinking it is still not advisable to use?

Can someone confirm if I have a gateway or APIM update available? 1FTFW1ED6MFB86236. If so, it might be time to get another 2 day FDRS subscription.

Very interesting, it matches the terminology from the doc they originally submitted but the version numbers changed, that's consistent with a few people's theories of how they are numbering these updates

It's good to see version numbers aligning between model years
