Does anyone have a guide on how to get started? I am not computer savvy and don’t know what to do after I connect my computer and open the app with successful connection.

There's nothing really available for 2020 Rangers yet. All of the codes are for 2019 Rangers, or F150s

Aren’t’19’s and ‘20’s the same?

Other than a few deletes that I know of - rear folding headrests, hot pepper paint, and in-stream changes of coolant and tie-downs, pretty sure these are one and the same?

So far as I've heard the 2019 codes all work for 2020 models. A Lot of the F150 codes don't work so be careful if you experiment. Backup - Backup - Backup!!

It works with 2020s.

Before you do anything make sure you have the extended license.

Quick basic run down

•Click on the Microchip icon on the left
•Select the module you want to make changes in
•Make a backup of the module
•Make the desired changes and follow prompts

I’d love to change a few things but I can find a guide on how to actually use or do it

I tried the autofold mirrors, no dice. I have the folding mirrors (with a button), but the modules are different.

There are no modules in the NA Ranger. You have to buy the auto fold module from Australia.

It may be worth noting that a lot of the instructions reference number addresses and require a change to a hex value. The latest Forscan has menu picks so it's much more intuitive.
