FORScan Modifications

[D Fresh]

I have Crossover and ForScan installed on they are working fine. I try to run the command 'cd /dev ' and then 'ls>/disconnect.txt' so that I can get the USB information to add it to my regedit. (This is all per Nemesis5zero's YouTube Video). I get an error that says 'read-only' and won't display the txt file for /disconnect.txt or /reconnect.txt. Apparently, there is a System Integrity Protection (SIP) that blocks write access to some files, but I can't disable that either (which I should be able to) during a reboot using 'command+R' to access the terminal.

When I try to use ForScan on my truck, I get an error about not being able to find an adapter. Unless I am missing something else. I think it's because it's not activating the ELM327 (237) adapter. My light on the adapter is red and never turns green.

I have tried running all these commands using sudo, but get the same results.

I know nothing about Macs and most of what you're talking about.

However, on my adaptor, OBDLinkEX101 a red light means you need to install the required drivers for the adaptor. I was able to do this from the manufacturers website.

I hear you there. I thought about picking up a $150 or so laptop off of Facebook marketplace or Craigslist just for this but I’d rather try my Mac first. My daughter does have a windows laptop I can borrow but I like to tinker so I am trying the Mac route first. I am a former IT guy, certified in blah blah blah, lol, so I enjoy doing this stuff….now that I am not doing it for people who can’t connect to their printer for the 50th time.

I found a little 10" HP running windows 10 refurbished by Amazon for $120. It was on my doorstep in about 4 days. It should be more than capable for Forscan and any future tuning on the Ranger. Just in case the fun turns into a pain.

Do you happen to have a link?

Our Amazon purchases are done on my wife's app which I don't currently have access to.

But it was an HP Stream11 pro g2 from Amazon Renewed.

I found one at a higher price with a quick search.

Hope that helps.

Does anybody know if there is a setting/module for allowing additional/all windows to be 1-touch AUTO up/down?

My XLT Tremor only allows for the driver’s side Auto up/down.

There is a module you have to buy - you can't make this change with FORscan.

Can someone with a 21 XLT FX4 tell me what the stock tire size diameter is? I changed it using a friends laptop and it, while we clicked the 'backup' option, it didn't save...

Is this a single module that controls all windows or does each window need a unit? Does the remote key need programing to the unit?

I downloaded forscan 3 days ago, trying to write the new updates and I’m getting “service interrupted“ notifications at 28% and no changes are saving. Have y’all got any pointers to fix that?
truck is a 2021 lariat.

Email FORscan, there is a beta version that fixes this issue.

The product description states,

• “Turns all windows into a one touch auto up/down function.”

The last few days I've gone into Forscan and got rid of the seatbelt chimes and door open with key in ignition chime, firmed up the brake pedal and changed the panic button on the fob to two presses.
Another cool one that is nice as I go to work in the dark is enabling the fog light to light up on the side you are turning. It really helps to put some light on where you are turning.
It still surprises me to see them go on and off individually as I'm turning onto streets.

Another one is enabling the gear shift indicator, and the gear you are in and/or changing to is shown on the left side of the info screen by the Tach (Dual Gauge XLT dash).
I was touching the +/- button on the shifter (while in drive) to get the gear bar to show up, but it goes away when you turn the vehicle off, and you have to do touch the Sport mode buttons again every time you start up.
When I enabled the gear indicator bar, every time I shut it off to go inside somewhere, it appeared when starting without the manual input.
Today though it wasn't showing up unless I moved the +/- switch.

I did get a fault for airbag after the second session in my truck, going to go now and see what fault it says and clear it.

Oh, and got the FordPass app on my phone and successfully started & stopped the engine, and unlocked and locked the doors from my phone.

If you can't find it you can check tire rack for the OEM tire diameter. Their info is pretty spot on. Or the tire manufacturer.
