Your video was the first one that showed step by step what to do. On the various forums they toss out codes and acronyms but never tell you how to do it. Thank you!

Just installed oem brake controller on a 2017 expedition, I was a little confused about the hex settings, video made it a piece of cake...thanks

Really enjoy the contents of your videos. I have same truck but 2018. Keep the great content coming.

Purchased the exact same OBDII connector. Glad to see this is what he is using and it works well. I've read that the wireless units don't work as well and can lose connection, not what you want when coding your vehicle.

Sean Brennan have you used it yet? I have a different brand but I’m having a hell of a time with drivers and not connecting to the vehicle. Did you have the same problems?

It's not focusing because you keep moving the camera back and forth. Thank you for your efforts, believe it or not I really appreciate your taking the time to produce this video. Best wishes.

i Just want to say thank you for this video. I was learning how to use FORSCAN on this Handy tutorial this guy on the f150 Forums gave me but i didnt know how to get forscan to start reading my trucks computer. just programed the OEM LEDs on my xlt.

This is a great video. I am going to do the changes on my Ranger and both my Mustang GTs. Also to change the factory setting on the axle ratio as I have changed the gearing. Thank You!

Great video, definitely made me feel more comfortable about approaching this. My main concern/question is what happens when a new sync 3 firmware comes out. Do you have to revert changes or what? Also, I wonder what dealer technicians think when they see these mods.

Thank You! I'm using ForScan too (just beginning) and these videos help!

Thanks for the great video! Will be playing with this for sure! Now when removing the module do you need to eject it any particular way or just remove it?

Great explanation of how forscan works! Also, Awesome vehicles! 😉 Thanks! Steven

Great video. I'd heard of FORScan before but was unaware that you can do so much with it. I still have many questions though. Like Where did you buy the OBS II module (and cable)? Where do I get the actual software? Does it work on a Mac or just Windows? Where did you get the spreadsheet? I think I need to do some more research.

Great video, thank you! I'm a new user and it really helped.

Awesome video. Thanks for that 👍

Badly need one of those spreadsheets for my 2014 STX 4x2 w/3.7 Eco. Is there a repository of these spreadsheets somewhere? Thanks & Cheers, Chris.

Yeah...you make it look easy...waiting on the adapter so I can get my Puddle, stering , shifter lights to come back on.

Thank you for the video. I am getting into Forscan and this helps a lot. Question, if I write the wrong code to my car , what will happen? I will save my original file so I can put it back, but will I break something? I have a 2018 Fiesta MK8 Titanium with Sync3. I cant fine any code like you have on the super duty. I did find the excell sheet for the F150 , but nothing for MK8 Fiesta. Perhaps you know where to find for my car? Thanx again for the video.

This is a awesome video. Thank you for sharing fo you know of these codes will work on a 2015 F250 Lariat package again thank you for your help. Carl

How do you know from the spreadsheet that they're asking for regular Format and not AS BUILT FORMAT? and what did you use for the rest of the mods?

Thank you so much. This was very helpfull!!

where do you get the spread sheets for all the diff cars? awesome video i was thinking about buying forscan

Great info thanks for posting your videos!!! It it easy to tell which version of sync your vehicle has? I'm just getting into it myself because I need a new remote entry key fob for my 2014 f150 4x4 and the idea that a dealer will charge me $120 ($175@ the 2nd one I called) just for the key then $60 to program it just ticks me off for something so simply done by them with software and hopefully almost as simple to me once I get it. I'm glad to hear theres a helpful spreadsheet on the forums for the 150 and hopefully one for an Edge as well so I'll have to search that out. With all the little warnings that concerns me a bit but I'm pretty savvy with tech, not so much mechanic's tho.

Dude wish we where close 🤣 awesome stuff!

Hi , i must say it's been a very interesting video to watch. Only one question . How can I change my remote to work with my window closures?. Thanks

Hey, great video for a first timer. What obd did you purchase?

Loved your video (and house and garage!!). I've now joined the Forscan Forum, but I am still scratching my head on how to get the spreadsheets for my 2013 Edge and my 2013 F-150. Any help would be great. Thanks.

a bit late to the party but still a great, informative video! Thanks!

Do i have to download a specific version of Forscan for my vehicle or is that one version good for all Fords? I see on the site there are many different versions.

Great video, how did you change your sync screen to black back round?

Hey Dan like the video! I have been watching different videos learning a lot. Also gonna try to get my 2017 F350 to run drl lights while driving. Not having all lights on.

Thank you for the vid I just installed the perimeter plus alarm system on my edge 2016 sync 3 and the dealer is charging me 150 just to plug it in and activate that, is not worth it , I will Try with this for scan, but only works on windows?

Great info thanks for it, I have question if you can help please, I had a focus 2016 sync 3 with navigation and I already updated my maps to my region F9 maps for Middle East, before i had done it I was having a home screen with navigation but after i did the update and changed my region using the forscan I have now the home screen as it’s a non navigation (big radios widget and compass So if I want to change the home screen from where can i do it ?

How do you see a list of all the options to change for an F150? I know it can do a lot, but is there a master list somewhere?

Great video. I have one question will this software let me program a AI Proximity key for my 2018 ford escape. I only have one good key tho, Do you know if this software will work with only having one key?

i swapped out my cloth seats for my 2019 mustang for leather seats and they have heated/cooled so i’m wondering if i can add the feature to turn them on

If you have the DPF filter status, do you have the ability to OCR? And have you had to perform one? And can you post a link how to get the DPF status screen? Thx

Need to focus the camera. For those that would like to know, the switch is for a medium speed canbus and a high speed canbus. Canbus is the communications protocol used by vehicles . When they first started computerizing stuff in vehicles they used medium speed Canbus. As more features and modules were added they went to high speed Canbus. Consequently today, some modules still run on medium speed and some on High speed. APIM is the main computer for the system. Contains Microsoft operating system etc. There is Sync1. There is also Sync2 which is the same as Sync with Myford Touch I think. Sync3 is the latest which is not Microsoft based. It is by Blackberry and much more stable. Not upgradeable from sync2 without changing major hardware from Ford. How do you know to use the not as built APIM module? Where did you get the spread sheet? Is the spread sheet just for your vehicle? How do you know what module you should be in to find the feature you are looking for?

How did you get the numbers on top of the heat gauges , was it with forscan or in a menu change

Do you have a link to the OBD II device you are using?

Thanks very informative video. Where did you download the Forscan software from?

Hello, how are you? Can you show the activation of the cruise control on a ford focus mk2 and 2.5? I have the buttons installed and the beeps test is ok

does changing my ford focus mk2 hvac digital panel to focus mk3 require a configuration to the ecu?

Have you tried the global open feature? Im going to try to program that for my 15 expedition.

8:49 I work in healthcare IT. So if I screw up on a complex config I can actually impact someone's health/healthcare negatively. So when making major changes I always save often and plenty. Meaning each time you make a change, save the config with a different name that will remind you of what is on there so you don't have to go all the way back but you'll have plenty to fall back on.

Would you have any idea how I can get the other modules to show up? Thanks

I have a 2013 f150 bout to upgrade it to the sync 3 system....will the four acan be limited.

If you add the Bambi Mode, can you still turn the fog lights off with the fog light switch ?

Hmmm... To bad the camera would not focus on the details. Overall good details and info. Question: Does it matter the engine size on Forscan? It is information that you enter into your registration, yet it seems to be more about the Year and model or vehicle than engine size. I am really concerned about getting the details correct for a 2019 F150 Lariat package.

Can you perform monitor testing such as evap tests smog or is this more a code rewrite program

I have a ford tourneo 1.8 TDDi of 75hp year 2006, I have changed the vp44 pump for a scrapper, and it does not start, it turns the engine, but it does not start.

I have an ELM327 ford adapter, and it works with the forscan, but I don't know what function to use in forscan to adapt the pump, if it is possible. Greetings, any advice is welcome.

Barr Thom I found information on Mazda forums (same interface) that you also need to change the hex sum at the end. Basically if you sum up all the stock values/numbers in a row, you will get 8 bit shifted hex sum, which should be equal to the last two characters. When you change a value, you need to recalculate the checksum. Hope that helps.

Do you need a license or extended licence? I believe mine is asking for it?

@stresd111

4 жыл бұрын

so looking at this from another site I would say any will work? The secret to enabling features is going to be in the As Built Data. ABD. It seems as though all MFT cars get the same APIM and what differentiates the features is the ABD. The ABD tells the car which features were purchased and which to be enabled. ABD is not plain text, it exists as bits. Comparing the ABD of cars with Nav vs cars without Nav should teach us what modifications we need to make. The ABD is NOT easy to access or change and will likely involve using proprietary or expensive software to do so. Ford VCM2 and IDS are a guarantee. ABD is not unique to the APIM, in fact its used in many modules on the car. We are unable to manually change values on the APIM ABD.

Hi Dan, I have a question, I have a 2017 Ford Super Duty with the 6.7 Diesel. With Forscan I'm wanting to add Show Temps on Gauges. I'm not sure which new code to use, the spreadsheet shows 2 options, Replace ** with E5 with brake controller which I have or A5 adds temps above gauges without adding boost gauge and boost data to menus, yes I also already have the boost gauge. Want to pick the right one the first time so I was wondering which one you used when you changed yours?? TIA!!

Hey there...so sorry for the delay...I was traveling for Thanksgiving. I used E5 because I have the brake controller. I am 99.9% sure that one will work for you. If it doesn't...no worries. You can easily change it. I would write down what the factory setting is before you make the change to the new code so you can go back to factory just in case. Hope that helps! Let me know how it works out for you! Thanks again.

I'm sorry I am not sure. I know guys will add OEM LED headlights and after the hardware is installed they go into Forscan and make some changes for them to work. Same could be said for larger fuel tanks or larger tires.
