The last time I upgraded my phone the Toyota Enhanced PID made it's way over to the new device without having to be repurchased.

Hey Geoff quick question... I recently had to get a new phone (old one lost its cellular network connection) and I have a new phone now, another iPhone 15. I have done all sorts of restores from backup, etc. but for some reason the Toyota Enhanced PID pack didn't make the cut- last night I fired up OBD fusion and the only gauge that works is the speedometer...

do you know where that file lives? and if it's possible to transfer it somehow? Or do I just need to buy this again.

In the main obd fusion page go to Settings->Purchase Extras and then click “Restore” in the top right corner.

Ok that was really easy, thank you!

There is a CAT scale on my regular route here in Michigan and I’d like to weigh my LC/camper rig. I know the tongue weight, but not the whole setup loaded and I’m headed past there on a camping trip next week. How do CAT scales work? Is there an attendant, or is it an ATM-like arrangement?

All the ones I’ve been to are self serve

Just make sure you center it on the front/rear split

Downloads the app, makes it much easier and give you the data right to your phone.

Here’s one of my Ram RV (screenshot of the app)

The ones I have been to, there is an attendant in the fuel station that you speak with over the intercom and then go in to pay and get your print out.

If it’s an official CAT scale there’s an app for your phone. I prefer that to having to try to use the speaker at other places because they’re extremely high up and I’ve found I need to stand on my front tire to reach.

It’s $13 for the first weigh, and then a few $ extra if you re-weigh within a certain period. I’ve used that to weigh with and without the trailer, but normally I just do it in one shot and that’s enough data

Yes, this

Also, believe there’s 2 different prices, one to just weigh it, and one if you need the certified receipt for commerical purposes

I wish I knew about this app before, this is far easier than the speaker/going inside routine I’m used to.

In the great, white, north land of igloos and 20-hour clocks, the scales have displays that simply show you the numbers.

Off topic but…

I’m considering selling my travel trailer. It’s parked in Denver right now, after leaving my truck at Slee after COTRockies. 2015 Lance 2185 with ~270Ah lithium battery, 450W solar, digital tank monitoring, triple bunks, slide out dinette, memory foam queen bed, liquor cabinet, and some other upgrades. The BlueOx weight distributing hitch would be included.

If anyone is interested PM me. Otherwise I’ll be back in Denver near the end of the month and will end up pulling it back to Chicago, but if I can save the effort (and gas) I’d happily pass the savings on.
