2021+ Bronco ForScan Thread

[Mattbar1]

I changed the double horn honk, driver seatbelt reminder chime, and auto start/stop.

It's new ForScan software that they say is updated for new vehicle models. I don't think it's specific to the adapter.

Very cool. The double horn honk is the worst!

The auto start stop says it also disables the Battery Management System...I wonder if that is needed or helpful for anything else.

Another section I am curious about: "Keypad". I wonder if this allows you to program the external keyless entry keypad. The options are 0 Disabled, 1 Hardware Input (seems promising), 2 LIN Input.

Hmm... The site I got that from for the 2021 f150 says it "simulates a steering input" to trick the system and prevent Auto Start/Stop (or as I like to refer to it, "ASS mode"). Can anyone else provide more info? I, too, would be concerned of losing battery management features, whatever that is...

Any one change tire size?
redo speedo for larger tires?

Any updates on the ASS System and other updates?

I've seen no negative impact from using this mod so far. But I'd still like to know how it works...

So what tool is it that you need to interface into the vehicle?

Thanks. Which unit do most guys here use? I don't have a windows pc, so would the Bluetooth version do everything we would need it to?

I had success with the bluetooth version. USB version should work too, but I prefer the diagnostic capabilities of using my phone with the bluetooth adapter down the road, so I stuck with a wireless one. You'll need the test/beta software I posted a page or so up in the thread for it to work correctly.

I have a Ross-Tech VAG-COM cable that I used on VW's. Will this work with ForScan?

I would think so. The DIN is the same

That one is out of stock currently, do you think This one will work?

FYI,

ForScan just published an update that adds support for 2021 Bronco’s and 2022 F150’s.

Be sure to grab version 2.3.42 here:

I’m going to spend some time digging through that Google Sheet - but, looking to switch the 12v in the cargo to hot 24/7. Someone on another thread mentioned that was possible for their 2020 Raptor.

There are a few other mods I’m excited about.

Benefits/downsides to wireless ODB reader vs classic windows laptop version? (besides cost).

FYI - this looks to be what I’m looking for. I’ll report back once I get my reader and attempt this mod.
