I recently had ETM problems and I purchased a pre-programmed ETM with Das upgrade from XeModex.
I used to get an average of 21 miles to the gallon but when I started having problems with the ETM it went down to 17.3 before the replacement. Now with the XeModex it has only gone back up to 18.5.... I am wondering if something else is wrong or am I expecting too much out of the 13-year-old 180,000 mile car?
I have the DICE plug in tool and a laptop but can't run the program on it , need Windows 7 Pro . Was wondering if anybody can look at my car remotely?

IIRC you can fool VIDA by temporarily tweaking registry, so it would think that it is running on Pro.
