FORScan Crowdsourced Wiki

Yea, ELM327 worked, but only partially.

The sad thing is real ELM327's are good; the bad clones are terrible. And since it can be difficult to tell which is which, the real one shares the bad reputation. Something similar happened with RS232 to TLL chips some years back and the reputation of the name brand once-standard was trashed.

I have done exactly that on my XLT. I certainly get the 4 terrain modes after buying the TM button assembly and coding it with forscan.

I’ll probably be doing this soon then, I just hope i don’t run into any problems pairing it to the FFP tune.

I really appreciate this community. I was able to borrow a computer today and do round 2 of forscan mods (first round was eliminating the enhanced engine sound). I enabled bambi mode, customized my DRLs so that my grill lights are always on and swapped the low beams for the fog lights, changed the power outlet timeout to the max, bled my ABS (side note: wow!), and changed my splash screen.

I'm mildly obsessed with customizing my vehicles to make them more functional, and I feel like this community has really enabled me to unlock the potential of my FFR.

Suspect the European vs US signs is a module firmware thing between MY2019 and MY2020. You made the same changes I did in Forscan.

I enabled Traffic Recognition this w/e and have NA signs. Mines a 2020... (Canada) Sign Flashes when you go over the "overage set point"

I haven't tried with Google Maps attached running Android Auto yet tho...

Just ordered my ELM 327 adapter and getting ready to dive into FORScan.

I believe I read somewhere in this forum that adaptive cruise was possible through FORScan, a quick search only found one post in this thread.

Is this possible??

Also, there's plenty of YouTube vids out there to help noobs like me.

You'll still need the actual sensor for it to work.

Correct
THIS - if you have you already have it!

On the Lariat I’ve got the lane sensing camera but not a sensor in the middle below the grill like your picture.
I suppose that could be added and the wiring is around there somewhere.

I have same, no adaptive cruise. Its been discussed on here, not sure if its possible to add. Seems I recall the answer was no, but maybe someone has taken another look.

Read up on forscan.org. The ELM 327 is no longer recommended. Still works for some though so who knows.

Well it would be my luck to get a faulty adapter and I wouldn’t know whether it’s me, the truck, the program or the adapter.

Is this one here, mentioned in the first post, still a trustworthy buy??

I initially tried the ELM 327 but it only partially worked on my 2021 Ranger. Returned it to Amazon and got the OBDLink EX which worked.

X3 works great for me.

On another note, I saw a setting somewhere in ForScan about the fuel system prime on drivers door opening. has anyone ever tried modifying it?

EDIT: I seem to be seeing more fuel in the oil and was wondering if disabling that feature has been tried by anyone?
