TIS Tool

OK, so my TIS disc arrived yesterday, and was installed. I can find some things, but other simple things I cannot find. For instance, can anybody tell me where to find the torque specifications for the front strut braces in the tool?

I was also hoping to find bluetooth help in there, but there's nothing. Anyone mate a G1 to their blue tooth?

The strut tower strut brace torque specs are ~50 NM or 30-35 FtLbs. Don't over tighten them or they may shear off.

Thank you, but I'm not looking for the torque spec itself, but rather where to find it in the TIS program. The reason is that when one asks for a torque spec on these forums, there are usually a BUNCH of different opinions as to what the spec should be. I don't want an opinion, or what someone has heard, or what they think, I want to find it in the Program.

EDIT: I found it. the actual specification is 41NM, NOT 50NM.
