Just wading into Forscan...is this interface still a optimal product?

This is the optimal product according to the FORscan website:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081VQVD3F?obdlinkex

Made specifically for Ford products. Just make sure you have a Windows machine to run it on, as they don't yet support it on Mac. Make sure you also have at least Win 7 or better. Thought I would use one of my old laptops to run FORscan on and thought it was a Win 7. Turns out it was Win XP, and still haven't got it to run on that. FORscan will run on it, but the adapter needs special drivers that don't work with Win XP.

If you get this, be sure and use the discount code : FORSCAN20 to get 20% off. I just got mine over the weekend, so as of this writing it should still be good.

Forgive me if this has been covered but I can’t seem to get the program to scan the MS modules.

any suggestions? The program doesn’t even ask if I have a can switch(which I do).

Thanks much Scot...ordered with discount

1 = No, no one has found this to work yet. I've also been wanting to change it. The F-150 version of the Forscan mod doesn't work either, FYI.
2 = Yes, that is built into the new forscan software and is one of the "menu" options, so, you don't have to manually change codes for it. The setting is in the BCM (Body Control Module) I think.

Ok. So I ordered my unit today and used the promo code -Thanks!
If I understand correctly it appears that most (if not all) the changes are now menu driven as opposed to code driven, right?
And....I have an XLT that uses the low beams for DRL - I want to not use the low beams but want Parking lights only - no low beams- is that possible as the screen examples I have seem only state Daytime Running Lights Includes Parklamps.
Thanks.

Hoping someone can help me figure this one out. Im trying to change the DRL's to the turn signals. Ive opens the Bdycm section, clicked on the daytime running lights, changed it to turn signals, click write and it runs through loading then hits 52% and says "Writing Block Failed - Incompatible Configuration".

This is my first experience with Forscan so Im not sure if Ive missed a set of instructions or if something is actually wrong.

Edit: During the initial connection it asked me to chose between "My 2020" and "My 2019". It didn't show options for "Sync 3.3". Not sure if that matters but I chose "My 2019"

That means the change is not available for your vehicle.

Ok so for my vehicle, the only option seems to be including the parking lights. I did get that one to change successfully. i think I get it now. Just because a configuration shows up, doesn't mean its available.

Thanks

Not sure if you figured this out yet but it appears you cannot disable the low beams on the XLT. I tried all the options (low beam, turn signal, high beam, none) in the module and it errors out. The only thing it appears we can do is turn the parking lights on with the low beams.

Have you enabled all options in IPC ? It's the 3 selections below DRL option in the BDYCM

EDIT: All 3 were enabled by default.

New to the forum. Quick question... Has anyone used Forscan on a 2020 Lariat model? I am running the latest 2.3.29 beta and using the OBDlink EX and when I connect I get "Unable to identify vehicle. Please contact developers" I am guessing it is just not going to support the 2020 yet.

Someone else posted recently they got a new beta (not sure what version), but it didn't sound like it was publicly released and once he got it, he was able to connect with no issues.

Thanks for the quick reply. Guess I will just have to be patient and wait for the update that will include the latest model.
