My FORScan Tutorial For Beginners!! 

Great video. I'd heard of FORScan before but was unaware that you can do so much with it. I still have many questions though. Like Where did you buy the OBS II module (and cable)? Where do I get the actual software? Does it work on a Mac or just Windows? Where did you get the spreadsheet? I think I need to do some more research.

Thank You! I'm using ForScan too (just beginning) and these videos help!

Great explanation of how forscan works! Also, Awesome vehicles! 😉 Thanks! Steven

yeah those bulbs do a great job of blinding oncoming traffic too

Your video was the first one that showed step by step what to do. On the various forums they toss out codes and acronyms but never tell you how to do it. Thank you!

Helpful information. Could you use a better camera and maybe a tripod setup, so the video would be still? Thanks

I have Expedition 2018 screen sync3 without nav .. how i can program this to put navigation

I have issue with my wipers not working I just ordered the OBDII tool and the forscan. hoping it gives me some direction. great video

Hi, thanks for the video. How or where do you get the info or coding for each vehicle? Thanks and Happy New Year!

where do you get the spread sheets for all the diff cars? awesome video i was thinking about buying forscan

Would this work on lincoln vechiles. I would like to add a oil pressure guage or reading on my guage cluster. Its all digital

Awesome video. Thanks for that 👍

I have the OBDLink EX and the latest Forscan. attempting to load the configuration on my 2007 F250 6.0 only produces 7 Modules. PCM, TCM.OBDII,ABS, TBC,IC, AND RCM. The first 6 show under HSCAN, the 7th shows under ISO. I get none of the other modules. I'm trying to get the BCM for tire size. When I try Forscan on my 2004 Expedition the same thing happens. Would you have any idea how I can get the other modules to show up? Thanks

That is awesome stuff, where do you get other vehicle spread sheet like the Mustang

How did you get the numbers on top of the heat gauges , was it with forscan or in a menu change

I have a ford tourneo 1.8 TDDi of 75hp year 2006, I have changed the vp44 pump for a scrapper, and it does not start, it turns the engine, but it does not start. I've been looking at forscan but I don't have much idea how to use it, is it possible to adapt the vp44 scrap pump to the ford tourneo with the forscan? I have an ELM327 ford adapter, and it works with the forscan, but I don't know what function to use in forscan to adapt the pump, if it is possible. Greetings, any advice is welcome.

Hi I been working on a super duty I'm looking for he spread sheet so I can use as a guide for future programming ,can you you tell me where I can getting

How do you know from the spreadsheet that they're asking for regular Format and not AS BUILT FORMAT? and what did you use for the rest of the mods?

Have you tried the global open feature? Im going to try to program that for my 15 expedition.

If you add the Bambi Mode, can you still turn the fog lights off with the fog light switch ?

Not sure if you can answer this or not. 2011 crown victoria p7b from 2005+ they are all drive by wire and wired for cruise control, all that is needed is a steering wheel with the controls. They all 2005+ also use the same clock spring. After the you install the steering wheel is to enable it with VCM and IDS I can you enable this with Forscan do you know

Has anyone tested gear changes using forscan and the Whipple flare tool for the bcm? Were there any differences?

Good job best washes Cam not foxin good

*How to enable keypad feature on explorer 2012* ?

Where can I find your first video concerning forscan'' Thanks Ron

Hello please can you help me? How can i get codes for ford explorer 2016?

Wish Ram had something like this. Forescan is free too.

It's not cool to blind eveyone else on the road trying to see how bright you can make your lights. Go get checked for cataracts dude.

Link to download forscan ?

Good effort but this video i way too hard to watch

How much is the Forscan software? It's not clearly posted on the website -all I see are free trial and free extended licenses. Do the changes stay AFTER the free trial ends?

Learn how to focus the camera before shooting video. You took a good video and ruined it (for me) with the lousy camera work.

Great video, definitely made me feel more comfortable about approaching this. My main concern/question is what happens when a new sync 3 firmware comes out. Do you have to revert changes or what? Also, I wonder what dealer technicians think when they see these mods.

i Just want to say thank you for this video. I was learning how to use FORSCAN on this Handy tutorial this guy on the f150 Forums gave me but i didnt know how to get forscan to start reading my trucks computer. just programed the OEM LEDs on my xlt.

Badly need one of those spreadsheets for my 2014 STX 4x2 w/3.7 Eco. Is there a repository of these spreadsheets somewhere? Thanks & Cheers, Chris.

It's not focusing because you keep moving the camera back and forth. Thank you for your efforts, believe it or not I really appreciate your taking the time to produce this video. Best wishes.

what , where and reason did you print off theses papers I bought the forscan but have no clue so this maybe helpful to know

Purchased the exact same OBDII connector. Glad to see this is what he is using and it works well. I've read that the wireless units don't work as well and can lose connection, not what you want when coding your vehicle.

There is another site that says you need to purchase a license to do this? You dont mention a license. Is it simple as logging onto forscan.org and registering and then hook up to the odb2 plug? You make it look too easy. I created an account at forscan and it says I need to purchase a license? Is this true, you didn't mention that in your video.

Thank you for the vid I just installed the perimeter plus alarm system on my edge 2016 sync 3 and the dealer is charging me 150 just to plug it in and activate that, is not worth it , I will Try with this for scan, but only works on windows?

Do you have a link to the OBD II device you are using?

Just installed oem brake controller on a 2017 expedition, I was a little confused about the hex settings, video made it a piece of cake...thanks

Very good video on Forscan with one exception. USE A DAMN CAMERA THAT WILL FOCUS!!! I got a damn headache trying to watch it.

Hi sir i have ford focus hb s+ plan to changes rs front set but different head lamp function how to coding head lamp sir

hello, I'm from Brazil. I have a Ford Focus 2016 and I did a Upgrade of the sync 4 to 8 inches and I have a problem now. My sync voice and bluethoot doenst works. I known that make a update using forscan to works. Please do you have a tutorial to me fix this issue?

Thanks for the video, but maybe put some time into either screen recording software or learning how your camera focuses. Your videos would be much better. Thanks.

You apologize for the cam not focusing. You have to keep the can steady so the autofocus can operate. You keep varying the distance between the cam and laptop screen which will prevent focusing. Yes, this is true, just see some scenes in which you actually hold steady and it starts to focus. This vid is very frustrating to watch since it never focuses on the laptop screen and you don't describe what the text is. Get a tripod.

get a go pro or something ....

Hi can anyone tell me how to use this device to tell the van to turn the headlight back on after I replaced a blown bulb? I just cannot believe I have got to get involved with all this just to replace a headlight bulb! Thanks

Informative... but, maybe you should watch a RU-vid video on how to focus your camera.

Sorry, I'm sure you know your stuff, but this is pretty much unwatchable due to awful camera control.

Loved your video (and house and garage!!). I've now joined the Forscan Forum, but I am still scratching my head on how to get the spreadsheets for my 2013 Edge and my 2013 F-150. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Is possible to check real mileage with forScan? Thanks

Which OBD tool are you using? Link??

Dose this work on the obs 97 f250HD 7.3powerstroke?

good post ,please I can not reprogram fob key for ford F150 raptor SVT 2011 after I earesed the original key

Does anyone do a vid showing how to use the software for diagnose rather than all the gaay shtuff we see here??

Hey Dan like the video! I have been watching different videos learning a lot. Also gonna try to get my 2017 F350 to run drl lights while driving. Not having all lights on. Also windows to roll up and down along with the side mirrors to fold when I turn my alarm on and unfold when I unlock with my key fob.

Why dont they call it Fordscan instead? Sounds like Foreskin..

Gotta use a “POS” (turd) Windoze computer? 🤮 No thanks. I’d buy a Chevy if I had to.

THIS P.O.S. keeps crashing as soon as I open it! I have tried is on a fresh/updated copy of Win 10 and 11

Hey Dan, I just bought a 2019 Ford Expedition Max Platinum last month. After watching this video I'd like to make the same changes you made to your Expedition and more if possible. Since posting this video, have you discovered any more useful tweaks for the Expedition that you'd be willing to share?

I was going to get the android version.. but might reconsider.

HOW CAN I GET MY CARS SPREADSHEET?

Really enjoy the contents of your videos. I have same truck but 2018. Keep the great content coming.

merhaba excel tablosu kod bana mail ile gönderirmisiniz erkankaleli1980@gmail.com 2012 c max 1.6 tdci aracım var ve yardım lazım

Hi Dan, I have a question, I have a 2017 Ford Super Duty with the 6.7 Diesel. With Forscan I'm wanting to add Show Temps on Gauges. I'm not sure which new code to use, the spreadsheet shows 2 options, Replace ** with E5 with brake controller which I have or A5 adds temps above gauges without adding boost gauge and boost data to menus, yes I also already have the boost gauge. Want to pick the right one the first time so I was wondering which one you used when you changed yours?? TIA!!

Great video. Do you have vehicle running or just accessory while programming?

tks.. do i need to be connected to the internet when i use forscan?

Thank you so such for your video however how can I get a copy of Forscan codes for 2015 Ford Explorer

Great Video. Can you please tell if the ForScan code works for a 2018 Ford F150 Diesel Sport.

Need to focus the camera. For those that would like to know, the switch is for a medium speed canbus and a high speed canbus. Canbus is the communications protocol used by vehicles . When they first started computerizing stuff in vehicles they used medium speed Canbus. As more features and modules were added they went to high speed Canbus. Consequently today, some modules still run on medium speed and some on High speed. APIM is the main computer for the system. Contains Microsoft operating system etc. There is Sync1. There is also Sync2 which is the same as Sync with Myford Touch I think. Sync3 is the latest which is not Microsoft based. It is by Blackberry and much more stable. Not upgradeable from sync2 without changing major hardware from Ford. How do you know to use the not as built APIM module? Where did you get the spread sheet? Is the spread sheet just for your vehicle? How do you know what module you should be in to find the feature you are looking for?

Great video. I have one question will this software let me program a AI Proximity key for my 2018 ford escape. I only have one good key tho, Do you know if this software will work with only having one key?

Did forscan change the license agreement? We use to be able to change the settings. Now it says we need a ext license

Where did you print out that spreadsheet at for your expedition????

Thanks for explanation,please I need to know how to get the coding exll sheets that you have

Which cable are you using? Can you post a link?

OMG the focus issue is killing this tutorial.

I wish I could add a picture here to help show what I am about to describe....I have a 2011 F150 XLT Super Crew. Above the stereo head unit is a digital display. It just sits there..I would like it to scroll either way because it hides a lot of my music information I want to see.....Do You know any way to make that happen? Thanks

So here is an item for you. I have a 2019 F350 Platinum and it had a recall for DRL that were too bright. The dealer lowered the brightness, but now I think the LED DRL is too dim honestly. Is there a way in Forscan to make the change and make these brighter?

After you changed It to (065) it was still HIGHLIGHTED . SIDE CLICK TO UN-HIGHIGHLIGHT (ON PAD) ..THEN WRITE

Just watched your video. In Ohio, your bambi mode is illegal. cannot have hi beams and fog lights on at the same time. Its nice to have that extra light.

does changing my ford focus mk2 hvac digital panel to focus mk3 require a configuration to the ecu?

Hmmm... To bad the camera would not focus on the details. Overall good details and info. Question: Does it matter the engine size on Forscan? It is information that you enter into your registration, yet it seems to be more about the Year and model or vehicle than engine size. I am really concerned about getting the details correct for a 2019 F150 Lariat package.

Hi. I got a 2016 F250 , trying to find where to purchase the right scan tool. Would u send me a link or message on where to get one. Lots of fakes are out there.

Will that spreadsheet you have work for a 2019 Ford Raptor and if so, where do I get a copy of it?

great Video , where Can I find The FORScan Codes for 2015 FOrd focus MK3 ??? i Have a Sync2 thank you

What Is that sheet of paper called that you are holding. I'm need that info for my 2015 F250 power stroke

a bit late to the party but still a great, informative video! Thanks!

This doesnt cover if u need activatiin key? Mine keeps saying no elm found, cant even connect to it

Hello Thats great I wanna ask if u have like this for explorer 2014 I mean coding I'm using forscan but idont have that

If you have the DPF filter status, do you have the ability to OCR? And have you had to perform one? And can you post a link how to get the DPF status screen? Thx

So it’s been about a month since you released the video.....any issues (cel or anything like that)?

How do I find a list or spreadsheet of Forscan procedures that can be performed on my 2020 Ford Escape SE? Can my power windows automatic up and down be changed?

Hi,I got my BOD 2 when i connected it to my Ford explorer 2017 vehicle using forscan it can not recognize me vehicle it show me connected to Ford focus 2002 ,please help

8:49 I work in healthcare IT. So if I screw up on a complex config I can actually impact someone's health/healthcare negatively. So when making major changes I always save often and plenty. Meaning each time you make a change, save the config with a different name that will remind you of what is on there so you don't have to go all the way back but you'll have plenty to fall back on.

Thanks very informative video. Where did you download the Forscan software from?

other than the focus and possible cerebral palsy great video!! lol jk FYI when you go into each module you can hit save all before making changes you will have a backup of your original settings. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to save the entire system with one click. If anyone knows of a way please tell me

None of those changes you made were needed and turn those dam annoying bright fog lights off

Can you perform monitor testing such as evap tests smog or is this more a code rewrite program
