I got some questions about FORscan.
I haven't paid a lot of attention to the FORscan threads.But where do I get it? Do I need a laptop? Can I use my phone? What do I need to have this? And how much does it cost?

I got some questions about FORscan.
I haven't paid a lot of attention to the FORscan threads.But where do I get it? Do I need a laptop? Can I use my phone? What do I need to have this? And how much does it cost?

Here's a quick summary - https://www.ford-trucks.com/article...u-use-it-to-customize-features-and-functions/

1. Forscan.org

2. Yes, laptop for configuration changes/programming

3. There is a Forscan Lite (for phones) but not for programming - https://forscan.org/comparsion.html

4. Laptop with windows, bluetooth or hard-wired ELM/OBD2 adapter, FORScan software

5. Software can be had for free (2-month license registration/renewal process) for programming...but a yearly license fee of $20 bucks for more advanced module features.

To recap:
2025 Platinum Build date 2/25 (likely Job 1) has sticky drive modes
2025 Flash Build date 6/25 (likely Job 2) does not.

We're gonna need more data

2025 Flash Build Date 4/25 VIN suggests Job 2
Drive Mode stays the same across restarts, haven't tested up to 4 hours but it feels about right. Coming back to the truck, say next day, it pops up a brief message asking if I want to switch back to Sport.

Besides post #1 in this thread, also read post #2. There are links to equipment, software, tutorials, etc.

I wanted to pop in here and just say THANK YOU to everyone that contributed to this thread. I finally spent some time implementing a few items and am really enjoying the improvements I've been able to make so far!

1) Enabled Walk-Away lock toggle so I can turn off the "feature" off (that was inexplicably forced on)

2) Enabled Glare-Free High Beams - Loving this feature, such a better chance of seeing all those roaming deer eager to play a game of frogger.

3) Fix Small 360 degree camera view - The used truck I bought had this issue. Avoided a likely billable service trip to resolve.

4) Enable Silent Mode Toggle - Haven't used yet, but definitely could have used it previously.
