Found my problem. The download link at the beginning of this thread did not work for some reason, so I thought it must be outdated. Found a github page instead and downloaded files from there. Turns out an important .JSON is missing there.

I tried the download link again tonight, it worked now and included the missing .JSON.

For everyone who might have my problems in the future: Make sure you have EV_BECM1982091_007.json. Everything else is a red herring. Using a VM is also completely fine.

I downloaded the version from page 1 and I do have the EV_BECM1982091_007.json in the Resources folder. However, the ENET dot stays red.

MapEV connects immediately, so I know my cable is good and connected solidly on both ends.

This is the sequence I do things in:

1. Laptop powered on
2. Connect ENET cable on car side
3. Connect ENET cable on laptop side
4. Turn on ignition
5. Launch tCAN-Pro

Any idea what the issue might be?

EDIT: I tried rebooting the laptop and various combinations of turning on the ignition after the app was launched, reconnecting the ENET cable on both ends while car was on and app running, and various other combinations, all to no avail.

Interestingly it worked on my Audi!
SoC on the car showed 86% but the tool shows 83.9, i guess that is normal

Tried connecting the car directly to my home network:

I get layer 1 connectivity, but it never picks up an IP from my DHCP server. Weird that MapEV works...

The ENET cable I got from ohptools.com/enet so I don't think that's the problem. Not sure what to try next... Maybe try another laptop that does NOT have MapEV installed. Maybe it does something funny with the Ethernet port? Btw, my laptop has an Ethernet port, I'm not using a USB dongle.

Switched to a different laptop and everything works. So I guess MapEV steps on the Ethernet port in a way that TCAN-PRO doesn't like.

At any rate, here's the result for my 2024 Turbo S that just passed 17k miles:

Your results look great.

When I looked at my battery, it seemed to me that it is when the battery is empty that you will see the greatest offset between cells.

There was also the guidance that when you fully empty the battery it will rebalance the cells and increase the range.

it will rebalance the cells and increase the range.

It doesn't increase the range, only the reading shows a (slightly) higher number.
There's a difference.
After a while it'll settle and it'll be the same as before (unless you've replaced at least 10 or more modules).

 

[Shug]

I beg to differ, when the batteries go through their re-balancing routine, it will increase the range if the batteries were out of balance.

From what I have seen, everyone that completed the routine has seen the range increase where their batteries were out of balance.
