Alright...nevermind the questions about activating the software. I deleted both the TechStream program and the MVCI Firmware drivers, reinstalled them in reverse order and everything works great! I purchased my BRZ 3.5 weeks ago and the TPMS sensor light came on about 10mins after leaving the dealer. It's stayed solidly lit, so I assumed they just forgot to initialize the TPMS sensors during the pre-sale checklist. The car was NEW, it has 1 mile on it when I bought it. So, it definitely wasn't driven enough by the dealer to trigger the TPMS light until I got behind the wheel. I have an appointment to take the car in and get this fixed early next week but I wanted to figure out what was causing the problem before I went in. Sure enough, once I got TechStream working, it showed me that "Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor #3 is not registering and has a problem". I was also able to turn off the seat belt buzzer, make both doors lock, and/or unlock at the same time when I touch the drivers door handle, and turn the security system on (it's off by default on the BRZ). I went through and changed a few other things as well, like how long I have to push the trunk pop button under the trunk lid before it opens and I adjusted the length of time that the interior and auto lights stay on. This is fantastic software, it was a little difficult to get working at first since I the Activation screen kept popping up and wouldn't allow me to do anything, but once I got that fixed, it's a powerful utility, that everyone with an 86 should have access too! Thanks OP for the links and info!
