ELM327 came today and it is a wifi version. Anybody know if that is the correct one? It seems on here everybody has a cable.
It will most likely work, but when I was researching most people recommended the wired version - if something glitched while you were updating it could cause problems.

My brother bought a wifi version and we did a little with it, but I used my wired version when I helped him do the speedo adjustment.

Thanks, I may send it back and get the wired version.

It’s odd the Lariat doesn’t have the seat heater buttons on the SYNC screen right from Ford. Pretty cool I was able to add them using FORSCAN. Sure it is redundant since the buttons are just below the screen but I dig it.

Interesting, I have a Lariat and it had the seat heater icons to control the seats from the screen stock from the factory. I wonder why some have it and some don’t?

I’m sure mine are there too and I haven’t changed anything either.

I know we have a way to remove the FM/AM radio icons and such from the audio screen. Has anyone heard of a way to remove the XM radio stuff? I don't use it, and whenever it gets selected it has a popup demanding I buy it. Just rather remove any trace of it.

Curious if anybody has ever seen the Ford Surveillance Mode option in ForScan or if somebody can figure out how to make it work. All of the necessary hardware is there and I know there are other police interceptor options that have been discovered in ForScan.

For those unfamiliar...

I would be interested as well. I was pocking around ForScan last week for something unrelated and I don’t remember seeing anything about “surveillance” that stood out. So if it’s there it is probably called something less specific. I would have been “triggered” by the term “surveillance”. :bandit:

Haha. So after some further research I found out that this was a separate module manufactured by a company called Intermotive for Ford. For what it's worth they make products that work with a variety of different makes/models, but nothing for the current Ranger. They do have some cool stuff though.
