    You could. I don’t have that service right now. I have just the basic stuff. You can send remote commands to change the set point, cycle or continuous, turn it off or on, change your intellisets. ORBCOMM isn’t the only one though. There are more players in the market now.

    Is that thing somehow plugged in the unit "Do it yourself" way, or you need a dealer tech do it for you?

    You could do it yourself if you have a PC computer and you don’t lose the data cable that comes with the unit. There is some assembly required to plug it into the reefer wiring harness. If you're confident in your ability to wire things up, you could probably do it.

    I got the oil sample back running the bypass. The sample isn’t all that different regarding wear metals and insolubles (soot), but the TBN retention is strong and TAN is much lower than any other sample, and this one had 10k more miles than my usual 20k mike sample. I’ll have to ask them how small of micron they go when they test for insolubles, but the amsoil is obviously keeping it out of the oil so it’s not turning acidic as fast. Wear metals are in the single digits.

    Not sure yet. It had the wrong skirt right now. It is supposed to extend to the rear bumper. The salesman is working on getting the other panels.
