After launching the older app it kept prompting me to update it however you can just ignore it. Go through the process as normal and you should be all set. After the initial activation I’ve actually been able to reactivate on my iPhone because I had to do a master reset.
Any idea about a fix for those of us who don't have an android device?

look at a post around 3400, you can run blue stacks which is an android emulator on windows. This is what I had to do.

I assume it'd be blue stacks on a laptop next to the truck?

blue stacks will let you run the android spoof your windows computer. So once you have it installed, then activate. Go to the truck and accept it. From there re download your iOS app and sign in. Should be activated.

My first time I bought the harness from boosted, the last 4 times I’ve made one myself. Soldered the wires from a 4 pin connector onto the TCU and added some heatshrink, then ran everything over to the gateway module. Everything you need is there, full time power, ground, and comms. At the gateway module I’ve either tapped directly to the wires or I’ve bought a T harness made for a remote start kit for less than $30 and made my splices there.

I've asked a few times with no response. He just said it was easy to do. I have the new modem programed but I don't have this harness.

have you looked to see if the wiring is already there? My '17 302a had the wiring there and all I had to do was plug it in. But I had already bought the cable from him. I can look to see if I still have it if you want?

No...it was previously stated he stopped because this was not a simple mod and people thought he was obligated to provide unlimited tech support because they bought a harness from him.

That's what I was afraid of I waited mainly because I wanted to know what's up on how to do it without being "that guy" lol... guess I'll order the plug kits and run with it ...tap it home brew style..
