@Mitch Panda Motorworks does this void the warentee?

Also can you have it so the puddle lights / zone lighting on the mirrors stay on over 5MPH?

If so I have my 3 mods I want done.

Thank you!

Haha. Yea, it can. But it depends on what you’re changing.

If, for example, you enable all of the GOAT modes and then have an issue with the ABS module, your warranty claim be denied. (Adding GOAT modes requires changing the ABS module configuration.)

But if you added GOAT modes and your taillight stops working… then you’re fine. They can’t deny your warranty claim on an unrelated component.
I wonder how a super picky or annoying dealer would react to the double honk disable or stop/start default to off. The stop/start off would be super apparent as soon as a service person gets in the car.

I haven't used Forscan, but work in software. I wonder if there's a hash/checksum stored that would indicate that it was modified from factory quickly. Whether it's setting specific or a summation of all settings as a whole.

Was also wondering about warranty and also about Ford's own OTA updates might impact settings, i.e. could they be reset to "factory" settings in some instances? Not interested in big changes... just the "double honk".

Awesome.
I need to find out how to install Forscan prior to calling Panda, right?
Last question, can it unlock Raptor power? (<----- Meant to be a joke. If you have kids you'll understand.)

So all it does is allow activation of the camera?

Because can't we engage the 4WD button and differential locks on our own?

Or do they do anything else? Serious question... Especially if my vehicle didn't come with the modes from factory?
It remaps the throttle, transmission, and steering. Baja mode is savage, think sport mode on steroids with roid rage.

No, but E85 can unlock a bunch of power. If you are looking for a 2.7, the safest choice is the Ford Performance tune.

When it comes to diagnosing a problem within a vehicle, the first thing most people will do is use an OBD2 scanner to scan for trouble codes. These codes are generated by the vehicles ECU and can provide valuable diagnostic information. This method of vehicle diagnostics has been the standard since the Mid-90s when it was mandated that all new cars manufactured in the the US come equipped with OBD2. For us car enthusiasts this not only gave us an easy way to diagnose our vehicles, but it also gave us a way into our Vehicles ECU.

With the adoption of OBD2, custom ECU tuning to bolster vehicle performance followed shortly after. Along with that came other non-performance modifications to tweak how your vehicle operates, and that's what we are here to talk about! Introducing PandaScan, our very own ECU Reconfiguration service! Using the power of FORScan and provided PandaScan device, we can remotely access your Ford vehicle's ECU to unlock hidden features and more for a set fee. For example, on a 2021+ Ford Bronco we can unlock all the G.O.A.T. Modes, Recalibrate your speedometer to account for bigger tires, and activate Bambi mode, which allows you to keep your fog lights on when high beams are activated for maximum light output. These are amongst the many features we can bring you with our PandaScan Service.

Possible Calibrations Include:

-Deactivating Autostart/stop

-Enabling Bambi Mode (Fog Lights Remain on when High Beams are switched on)

-Adding ALL G.O.A.T. Modes

-Eliminate Double Honk

-Tire size Recalibration

-Enable OEM Fog Light Switch

-TPMS Disabled

-& More!

Once you've decided to purchase the PandaScan service and a Panda Motorworks approved PandaScan device, you will need to schedule a session with our calibration team to complete the service. If you do not have an ELM327 Connector, you can purchase one here! You need to make sure you are able to receive a solid internet connection on your computer from your vehicle, as you will be need to be in or near your vehicle to complete the process. You will need to have the latest version of FORScan installed so we can access your vehicles ECU. You can find and download the FORScan program here. You will begin the process by opening TeamViewer at the scheduled time, if you need to download TeamViewer click here. The calibration specialist will then call you to give further instruction, so please have your phone ready. Once connected with a member of the calibration team you will then connect the OBD2 Scan device to your vehicles OBD2 port located in the drivers footwell. Once you have a connection, make sure the device's switch is in the "HS" position and then plug the other end into your computer. Once the connection is established, you are ready to begin the calibration process.

You will begin the process by putting your vehicle in the "Key On" or "accessory power" position. This will allow our calibration specialist to access your vehicles ECU and allow him to make the changes requested. You will need to remain on the phone with the calibration specialist as he will need you to occasionally flip the switch on the OBD2 module from the "HS" setting to the "MS" setting and vice versa. This process can vary in time depending on the services requested, but within minutes the calibrations will be safely applied to your vehicle! Upon completion, you can disconnect the OBD2 module and enjoy your new unlocked features.

We are proud to offer this service and help you get the most out of your new Ford Vehicle. This task can be daunting when done alone and can have some serious negative effects, so trust the experts at Panda Motorworks to take care of your vehicle and get it done right the first time!

Pricing for a PandaScan Service Session is as follows:

3 Calibrations for $55

Additional calibrations can be added for a small fee.

4 Total Calibrations for $65
5 Total Calibrations for $70
or
6 Total Calibrations for $75

Panda Motorworks Approved ELM327 Connectors can be purchased for $25 if needed.

After purchasing PandaScan, an appointment must be made with our calibrator to perform the service. Appointments are available at various times throughout the week during our business hours of 9am-5pm CST Monday - Friday!​
Seems reasonable, while I am comfortable using Forscan on my own there are many who are not. For them this is a good alternative so that they do not do the wrong thing in their programming attempts.

Thank you for these!

So if unlocked, it actually engages/adjusts these things, even if my vehicle wasn't setup from factory like that?

So really only Baja is something to consider? Because rock/crawl won't disconnect my sway bar, since I don't have that button on my OBX? I guess it could still adjust the throttle and steering though... 🤔

And how does one manually disconnect the sway? I know... I should search or YouTube. 🤦‍♂️

I was going to look into getting forescan to do the things I need. After looking at the list, I only need three, and I really think I’ve spent 80 bucks on dumber shit in my life.

@Mitch Panda Motorworks

Can this disable the seatbelt warning on start-up.

Also, can you guy enable front camera / parking cameras above 55 mph?

This would be huge
I know that this was for Panda, but...

Yes, you can disable the seatbelt warning.
You can enable the front camera by using Baja mode, but I have not seen any other way to enable it at speed.
