How to Install, License, and Start FORScan to be Used to Mod Ford Vehicles

[@Relic67]

I fought through it last night with a far less fluid tutorial. I appreciate the straight forward, no nonsense of this walk through much more. Plus I learned about not losing downloads and setting the connection to com. Thank you.

[@TwoKeysStudio]

I am glad that you liked it, thank you for watching!

[@T18skyguy]

Thanks dude you do it right. So many others are too fast and small cursor and hard to follow. Yours is very clear, no stupid music, and good narration. Well done.

[@johnd8651]

Fantastic program, as an independent shop tech at a used car dealer this program is great for programming and accessing PATS functions. It's the volkswagon audi VCDS of the ford world.

[@danfoley8286]

Really wanting to add the trailer brake controller onto my f250 using this! Thank you for the helpful tips!

[@mconradb]

Thank you for this walk through. Helped me to successfully download and run Forscan. I'll be using this to fix my rapid flash turn indicators, turn off my daytime running lights, and enable "Bambi" mode where switching to high beams leaves the low beams and fogs illuminated also.

[@imkindofabigdeal4308]

Thanks. I'm set up. My trailer brake controller is now gained!

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Thanks! I have the ELM plug-in device with the special switch, but had forgotten how to get into the software. I use an Apple device, which automatically stores user names and passwords, if you let it, and it was easy to find that info again after watching your video. I had forgotten about the trial license and longer term license aspects of the program, and appreciate your pointing out those details.

[@TwoKeysStudio]

I'm glad that it helped, thanks for watching!

[@steveguryan7434]

Adding a trailer brake controller to my F150. Helpful tutorial and links.

[@TwoKeysStudio]

Thx, glad it helpe.

[@magma5.o_h191]

Just called the dealer as I just added a brake to my 18 f150 they wanted $280 (2hrs labor) to flash. Looks like I’m buying a $19 cord and learning something new lol.

[@jacob4059]

Helpful Introduction to ForScan. Thanks! I am using forscan to update my Sync 2 - Sync 3

[@oldmikeemerson2411]

Thanks good vid, I need to program my replacement DDM, this is a cheaper way than having the dealer do it. Again thanks!

[@ihavealsbutitdoesnthaveme9939]

I’m sure I can utilize your video to get ForScan installed, but I’m very computer savvy so you went pretty fast through the steps. I’ll just need to stop the video for each step. I doubt I’m the only person needing to do it that way. I’m going to activate the remote start on my 2014 F-150. Plus, program two OEM 4 button key fobs

[@michaeldayton8934]

This doesn't work four years later. When registering it asks you for an 'Invitation Code' in 2024 and after following all of the above steps I never receive an invitation code so I can't get any further in the process from the 1:07 point of this video. Trying to join FORScan is more difficult than trying to break into Fort Knox.

[@SAVAGE-cg3ko]

Same issue

[@chrismalone9990]

Thank you for showing your video as I would not have figured this out on my own! Going to reset my Ford Fusion Hybrid battery to year one. Going out to try it now... Thanks again!!!

[@DavidThomasTimmer]

Is this why use to see what the check engine light means

[@brook5957]

I have the same device. Mine says cannot connect to vehicle.

[@NoVacks4Me420]

Great video man, thanks a bunch

[@TwoKeysStudio]

You're welcome!

[@oc9215]

I did all of that but still it says “no adaptor found. Please check connection and try again”

[@Medic75156]

Thank you! I couldn't find the drivers

[@TwoKeysStudio]

You're welcome, I am glad that it helped.

[@detacheddad3396]

Is this also for diagnostic? possible saving me from going to mechanic.

[@TwoKeysStudio]

Yes it is, it gives terrific information on codes even codes for the radio

[@osamuyiimasuen4628]

How do I get the device driver? Mine did not auto-install and the address provided in the manual does not have the drivers

hi,i have one strange mesage on forscan forum,,You have provided an invalid answer to the question.,, and i can not register me,can you help?

How long does the administrator activation take?

[@TwoKeysStudio]

From a few hours to a day.

[@AnhDuyHa1281]

Can't active Accout Forscan :)) so sad

[@T18skyguy]

Is the hardware I.D the serial number of the OBD unit? It looks like the program self recognizes it.

Hi do you know why mine is saying no elm found trying to get my gps to work

[@djkostas6882]

Howdy. I ordered an original ELS27 from someone and I want to buy a laptop. What specifications should the laptop have to run correctly and without lags with this interface and its drivers? What programs would be good to work with ....? .... from what I understand, there are several: Forscan Foccus .... Thank you very much

[@tdefurio]

I recently purchased a 2011 Mercury Mariner, but it only came with 1 key and it was set to MYKEY with all the restrictions. I am going to clear the Mykey restrictions hopefully.

[@7Tew7]

How did that go? I am looking to do same.

[@walterlennon4210]

I load the forscan got registered but I never get to the same general support page as you do. I tried following you on one computer and loading it on an other. Also I got the bbfly bf32302 unit and I do not find any drivers just the guide. can you help me

[@threeputt3642]

Silly question but I figured i would ask - this should work on a 2022 Explorer, correct? I see that you made this in 2019 but assumed that it would apply to the new 6th generation Ex. Thanks.

[@TwoKeysStudio]

Maybe...sorry but I cannot say for certain.

[@nicholasalandt9944]

Hello, I need to set a 2nd key to my 2012 f-150. O2 sensor, i just want it to stop triggering the engine light, with out changing o2 sensors. I maybe turn it off or, the O2 sensor tune it a bit. I seen vid.'s of removing all key than setting new ones, but i really only want to add a key.

[@mattrollins9123]

It won't let me register without a invitation Code from a paid member I don't know any paid members all I want to do is do away with the automatic emergency brake setting its self on my wife's car do you know how I can register on forscan

[@gurpreetmadhopuria5713]

why changes are not allow iin IPC nodule like mykey features

[@TwoKeysStudio]

You have to have the license installed to do that.

Will this OBD2 Adapter work with a '15 Escape? I saw a review the other day of the 10 best adapters, showing the "OHP" version of the ELM 327 as being NOT compatible with the Escape. Btw, I had a LOT of trouble TRYING to load the "key" for the 2 month "free trial extended license", just gave in and paid the $10 for the one year access. Once I got the "activation" code, it was all "automatic", BEST $10 I ever spent!!

[@TwoKeysStudio]

I would think that it would be compatible, but I cannot say for sure.

[@Noobs4x4Adventures]

I connected this to my Ford Ranger 2018, and it came up in ForScan something along the line of this unit is not suited for your vehicle, it was missing a lot of features when it loaded up. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

[@TwoKeysStudio]

It sounds like you either have the wrong type of dongle, or it didn't get switched correctly.

[@Noobs4x4Adventures]

@TwoKeysStudio thanks for the response, i will give it another try, but i might have to order a different model.

[@abdomar0528]

Will this help me reset the anti theft system or help me program new keys?

[@TwoKeysStudio]

It might. It depends on why your PATS system isn't working. You will need two transponder keys that are cut for your car. If the car is already immobilized, I would give it a try.

Will this work for me to modify and change the "dark mode" on my 2016 ford explorer police interceptor utility vehicle? When the doors are opened my lights do not turn on... it's annoying...

Can I use forscan to install sync 2? Mine got bricked while installing an update and it's been black for days. Doesn't respond to plugging a USB into the car

[@TwoKeysStudio]

I believe that you can, but I have not done it before. Try posting in this Facebook Forscan group. They have been helpful to me. facebook.com/groups/1844420822482460?group_view_referrer=profile_browser

[@andyfc1114]

Hello everyone. Does anyone know if Once the software is installed and ready to plug into the car, would my computer need to to be connected to internet in order to run the scanner?

[@TwoKeysStudio]

Good question. No, it does not need to be connected to the internet.

@@TwoKeysStudio thanks a lot!

[@andyfc1114]

Good choice not buying the Bluetooth version. I have been at mine for a day and a half and still can't get it to connect. It connects to the Torque app but then disconnects after a few seconds and then reconnects and so on. The ForScan app doesn't see my OBD-II device at all. About to return and get the USB version.

[@a23956]

How stupidly difficult this is has made me question my Ford F-150 purchase. Just installing a brake controller. Why all this stupid bull crap.

[@TwoKeysStudio]

Other manufacturers don't even have an open source way to do the mods that forscan can do. I think that it adds to the value of owning a Ford.

[@oz_medias]

Ford didn't make it, its not their fault you can't mod the settings without a $9000 autel tool and software. This is a work around for home mechanics who want to change a few settings and gain basic obd2 control.

[@outdoormaniac9951]

Wow, You actually think this is helpful? Like teaching a foreign language in 3 minutes. NOT GOING TO WORK!!!

[@TwoKeysStudio]

It did and others found it helpful. If this tutorial is over your head then you probably shouldn't be using FORScan, just get a plug in diagnostic tool.
