I was going thru old computer files and came across my old super duty folder that had an excel sheet with various misc parameters that can be changed using the FORScan software(i.e. disable horn honk, fold mirrors in, etc..) for ice vehicles. That got me wondering do you think it would be possible that FORScan can still be used on the new lightning?

That might be the fix for the beeping warning on the Fronk. Someone needs to check this out for sure

thanks for reporting back, kind of a bummer was hoping maybe it would work. I contacted devs to see if they are working on a future release for compatibility.

If you are willing you need to reach out to the Forscan folks. It is my understanding when a new model or something changes like "Job 2" that would make differences in the files they need to update the software and decipher the new As Built data. They likely don't have the information included to even decode the VIN for electric motors.

With notification and some info they likely would have it updated in just a few days.

I am talking back and forth to one of the devs now, I just posted the screenshot so waiting on his reply to that. Unfortunately not having my truck yet will make this difficult.

You can put them in touch with me. I'm familiar with ForScan from my C-Max days and am happy to test on my Lightning.

Yes. You have to email FORScan support directly to ask for the version that supports BEVs. I've been able to to enable some features using the F150 ICE codes, but there is not complete overlap in all of the module programming between the ICE F150 and the Lightning.

Can we change the speed that we can enable the forward camera to activate? I hate the 8 mph on my GMC, and I'm hearing 5 mph on the Lightning.

A thread on here of all the possible options/features that can be enabled/changed with Forscan would be pretty nice. It would be interesting for those of us considering it.

Can you share which features you have been able to use?
