Default Gap IID BT -- Best use? Tweaks?

I got my wife thr LR3 she wanted and immediately ordered a Gap tool and some extra keys from one of my favorite vendors: Lucky8. Programming them was trivially easy and (3 keys) it has already paid for itself (or come very close). That's all I have learned to do with it.

So I am wondering what are some other worthwhile things to do with it? It doesn't come with much in the way of instructions.

link to the owners manual:

https://www.gap-diagnostic.com/suppo...ments/iidtool/

you can do a lot of things like disable the TPMS sensors, get specific error codes instead of the general OBDII ones, change the stock suspension height, calibrate the height sensors, reset the tranny clearing what its "learned", etc

Thanks for the link. The front right tire sensor is bad and it is the only light on the dash. That will be the first to go!

Best,

Thanks, Abran! You and I talked about one a couple of years ago; I'm just slow. As you predicted, she loves it.

I got the Gap IID from Lucky8, but I took a chance on the keys:
Keys from Amazon Keys from Amazon

Those do not have rechargable circuitry. The battery usually dies within a year.

I bought 10 of those aftermarket ones when they first came out to offer a cheaper solution to customers but ended up having too many problems with dead batteries and gave up.

Oh dear. I didnt know that. Please don't tell my wife.

Do you have other suggestions?

Just buy a new one when it dies, or keep soldering new batteries onto the board.
