Hello, FDRS Subscriptions Toyota TechStream Software SmartPro Tech Help and Compatibility

Hello, 

Welcome to the Two-Hundred-Twenty-Sixth edition of Tech Tuesday, a weekly email/newsletter where Tech Ops will provide you with new ideas, procedures, tools, and anything new to help you in the field.

FDRS Subscriptions

Over the last few months, the Tech Ops team has worked to set up every Account Manager with an annual Ford FDRS subscription. Every AM (who did not already have an active subscription) was sent a deployment email with software and programming information.

If you have not installed FDRS on your programming laptop, please search back through your email for the FDRS subscription deployment email.

This software rollout has been complete for over a month, but we are still seeing requests for FDRS subscriptions that were already purchased.

If you cannot find this email, please send a message to techops@carkeysexpress.com, and we will re-send it.

SmartPro: REMINDER 

Regularly updating your SmartPro is the most critical step in maintaining your device. You should update individual modules every other day and perform a full software update once a week, at minimum.
