That was awesome! Exactly what I had hoped to find... You've made it very easy to understand. I only learned about FORScan a few days ago. I purchased my interface from Amazon today and just installed the software. I'm excited to try it out. Thanks! .
There are some sections of the Forscan software that require you to register like installing a new stereo that requires coding to the vehicle. It is totally worth it, just wish there was something that can tell me what all the modules do that come up. :)
Hi Dave, great vid but having no luck with canceling chimes, got the free extension, went into the correct areas and got a Disabled sign come through but still hearing that chime when keys in and door open? 😢John
Hi there, I've just purchased a new ACM (Audio Control Module) that needs configuring, will I be able to set it using Forscan? I just need to change the radio frequencies as they are stepping in odd decimals, I need even decimals 91.60, 94.00fm etc not 91.50 and 94.10fm
I purhcased the most recent forscan and paid 10 dollars for a 1 yr license. i have a 2021 ford ranger lariat 4wd. I puchased the new knob with the terrain mgt button in the center and easily installed. now i am trying to enable the "selectable drive mode" and it is not there. i think they changed the name?? very confused. I would love some help. thank you.
Great video thanks for info... has anyone else had this problem.. 2017 3.2 occasionally the heated screen comes on (on its own) then throttle goes jerky and it sounds like a big end bearing rattling or firing of 4 cylinders... then a min or two it's back to normal? Had the wiring loom upgrade and it did it before and after? Cant find fault anywhere and no one I ask knows what it is, surely I dont have the ONLY one that does this? Only had it 3 month 😔
Hey mate so i have downloaded everything and have got the license but i dont have the options to turn the chimes off, i dont have the option to go in to the ipm cause i have the updated version of the one you do.
Two suggestions mate. 1. Do you have a switchable cable? With high can and low can? 2. Jump on the ForScan forum and make contact with the developer, I'm sure they'll have the older versions available. I even contacted them for the dual battery mode stuff and they went above and beyond to sort it out for me in a beta version! Superb service from them.
@@DetailingandtheBeast i have the Bluetooth one that has the switch on it without the cable. I will give the people at forscan a message then. Thanks for your help mate and good job with the video it was very helpful and informative.
Another great and informative video! Have you investigated any Bluetooth options for either IOS or Android for gaining engine info and readings on the fly whilst driving Dave?
No Jason. My cable is a USB one but you can get the BT one and an app for your phone. I had an in car PC in my old Focus ST that had all this realtime data on the touchscreen head unit. Was very nerdy 🤣
I know this is unrelated to this video but can I ask....what colour is your headliner in your truck? I want to purchase a black one for mine or even die mine black.
Yeah mines black. It's one thing I can't stand in the others is the lighter headlining. Even the early wildtraks have them. I have asked thorntons before for a cost of a black one for someone else and it was like 400quid.
DaveCHCI 'Detailing and the Beast' well I won't pay that so I will look at dying it myself because it is possible. May even record myself doing it. The reason I enjoy your vids is because I really struggle finding ranger videos on here that are not in the states or Australia!! Keep up the good videos it's really helps me out and give me good ideas!! 👍🏼
Ive never seen any kind of actual “load” you can put on a vehicle with forscan.. you would have to physically go back into each module and change the individual options…. If you can load tunes than id like to know how.. it took me forever to unbrick my shit.. but i accidentally forgot to switch the as built data and put a decimal in when i was increasing the flow on the injectors.. instead of +5 psi it tried to pur 50psi.. burned the fuel pump, hydrolocked the motor and killed most of the inhectors and since it killed the motor while i was in the as built it bricked the ecm.. had to reflash it and all…. Lol…
