Currently work at WSP as a Physical Design Engineer for substations with a degree in ME, although it incorporates a lot of EE. I'm due for my promotion to a P2/Intermediate Engineer, and have heard pay raises of anywhere from 5-10%. What should I expect, and is it worth asking for a higher raise if it's on the low end? It's my first experience with something like this, so I figured it was worth asking about before walking into.

I've been doing some research and can see that you can disable the headlights from staying on when the switch is in the "off" position using VIDA. Can anyone confirm if you need a full VIDA license, or if an unofficial version will work? It seems you need to download some software packages for it to take effect.

For connecting to a laptop, are there also any cable recommendations? I've seen the cheap GODIAG GD101 J2534 cables, and I only need the cable to work once. Any other recommendations that won't break the bank for a simple software change?
