Thanks, I watch far too many 20-30 min or 45+ minute videos that could be 10 mins max.......i like to be to the point and no BS......this style (forscan) is new to me as i was ad-libbing and trying not to waffle......avoiding putting text in and no powerpoint !! lol (like we spoke about) Cheers for watching

Great instructional video - it covers V2.3x BETA module backup and configuration. FORScan's V 2.3.45 GUI is a little different but does the same thing. Be aware that older adaptors, such as the FORSCAN OBD Monster aren't recommended by and are not fully compatible with FORScan v2.3.45.

@@SYDiagnostics Thanks for your great work! Backing up configuration data is such an important and often overlooked procedure (horror stories I've read on FORScan & F-150 forums & Facebook FORScan groups by people who failed to make back-up before changing configurations) that an updated video would be greatly appreciated by us FORScan newbies.

Good stuff Ste, keep them coming, getting more and more interested in this Forscan.

Nice video with very good advice 👍🏻

Magic !!! Thank you very much ... :)

Thanks for video. Is the info that you saved, be used for saving data from the ecu and then saved on a replacement ecu (the same part number) ie reprogram.

Is this what I need to do before replacing my BCM panel with a new one (Focus Mk2 2010) Thanks.

Great video Thanks

Thank you for your video

Will this create a viable backup for my system if i were to brick my while trying to update my focus mk3 to 3.5 software?

maybe i missed it, but will backing up the main module save every setting, or do you need to backup every module, or something else?

Your tutorials are awesome. Thank you. Now could someone PLEASE tell me how to turn off all the chimes after starting. 2018 Superduty ???

Nice presentation, it's the last one of several I looked at, before felling confident that I had enough information to start. Thanks for your time in doing the video. I have a question if you would like to comment. I am using FORScan V2.3.33 bata that built for Windows. I did a backup of all my modules, 30 modules in a Ford F150, one module at a time for an Inital backup of all my As Built modules. I just noted today, all my file names ended up with a .abt extension and I see yours end with a .cct. Do you have any reason why?

Helpfull video thanks

Thanks.

Do you have to do a back up for every module or only the BCMii Central Configuration (Main)?

Hi excellent video, I have had to fit a secondhand TCU to a 2013 Kuga, the old one is broken. What’s the best way to code / configure the new (used) one? Using forscan and extended licence. Really hope you can help ❤

Why do you use Save as opposed to using Write Backup, when using my Forscan I did not see Save

Mickey mouse mode lolol good info sir!!!

Do you have to backup other modules like powertrain and chassis?

Hi. Is it possible to use Forscan to reset a module to factory settings? I have just bought a 2016 Fiesta and two DTCs state an incompatible issue with the settings software. Clearly, someone has changed the settings. Thanks for any advice.

Hi, I followed your tutorial so to activate the auto locking. I didn't found the BCMii tough, the one where you saved the backup, so I had to try another way. I modified with success the setting, but I didn't have the chance to make the backup firstly. Is it possible to do it again, removing the autolock, making the backup then reabilitate it? Thanks

What else needs to be or would be wise to back and save.

In my opinion, it's worth doing before changing any coding on a module. Unless you are changing things then it's probably not something you need to do

what happens to your vehicle if the operation gets suspended ? Any serious problems ? Thanks for the answer

Is that with vid block backup option?

can you do a "save all" that includes the BCM, APIM, DDM ect? or do you have to save each individually?

As far as I am aware, you can only save each module individually

FORScan light on iOS seems to be a different configuration to your pc version. Can you do a back up on iOS or is this only possible on a windows pc. I do realise that iOS does not have the config & programming abilities.

Would you be able to do a video on re-programming an instrument cluster. I've a 2010 mondeo giving bother with clocks and I would fit a 2nd hand set. But not sure of the process on forscan.
