I’m afraid toolbox 2 doesn’t work with MCU2, you need toolbox 3, and that one basically runs in the car, so it’s much harder to hack.Im looking for a way to do a suspension calibration on a 2013 model S with mcu2 and SW 2022.36.
I do have an laptop with toolbox 2 on my hand. Is it possible to this calibration with toolbox 2? If someone can give me a hint I would really appreciate
thx
Why do you want to calibrate the suspension? Is the car not level? If it helps, check the brackets holding the sensors. My car had one bracket bent. I straightened it by hand, and now it’s level.

Nope you had to pay tesla $2500 at time of delivery to activate software or in today world now with tax it’s $3200. They gave a free one month trial back in 2016 but that was it. And yeah just trying to tinker with gateway config to enable ap

It’s a long story, I got the rear DU replaced and the suspension went crazy. Tesla did a suspension calibration, it helped quit a bit but it’s it’s still re-leveling all the time. Recently I got some new links and now the car is not level. my thought was to repogram the suspension to get it level. I’m can’t figure out how to bent the bracket, seems to be quiet robust, I’m not able to bent it.
The only way to be sure it won't be deactivated is if it's already rooted and had Tesla access disabled, or if you have that done after buying. Once it's rooted you can just enable SC.
Ok thanks. I’m going to see it tomorrow , so just doing some background research. Seller says it works cos he’s taken the car offline. So Tesla can’t make changes. Was also wandering would all internet services work ok? Navigation etc ?
He probably removed the LTE module or disconnected the antennas, which would achieve the same thing but the car will not have internet access. You'd need to have a rooter disable the Tesla access if you want it online without SC being disabled, then reconnect LTE.

Pretty sure its already rooted, if it has SC re-enabled.
Doubt it. With root u can just lock tesla out but leave app access/internet working. Mine is working this way. No updates tho.
But word of caution, Tesla can still Permanently disable SC even if u rooted, see here:
Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger
Hi guys, just drawing your attention to this tweet from @wk057 "Tesla really doesn't want people with salvage cars using superchargers. Aside from legal threats in their docs, they're blocking it in more ways now. Seems even offline cars on semi-modern firmware can now have it perm disabled...

Better to stay away n use other DC chargers. At the very least, stay away from V3 SCs.
It's possible it was never disabled, like on my Model S.Pretty sure its already rooted, if it has SC re-enabled.

Then you're lucky n somehow slipped thru the cracks
Most ppl posting here on TMC say Tesla frequently goes thru whatever database n removes SC from Salvage cars...
I think the 12v died rather quickly after the crash, and it sat unpowered at the salvage yard. Never let it connect to Tesla, immediately disconnected LTE so I could have it powered when I needed to while working on it.Then you're lucky n somehow slipped thru the cracks

well yeah that would work but most salvage yards/auctions try to jump start to get ODO n ck if it "Runs&drives" or "Starts (wakes up?)"
So chances are slim unless car has no key or blown pyro...
They jumped it to get the odometer reading or took the photos before it died, but mine was indeed keyless with a blown pyro.

i would think the blown pyro wouldn't let them get it powered up so that's interesting...
care to share how was the process of getting a key?
