FORScan questions

Jdkzombie · February 28, 2018, 08:47:41 PM

This may have been answered in the past, but I have a few questions if anyone knows the answers.

1. I have a non PP sho, with FORScan can I unlock the ability to truly turn off TC? This isn't that important so if it's a no, no biggie

2. For whatever reason the original owner before me wanted every bell and whistle offered save for the PP, and navigation for whatever reason.. With FORScan can I activate navigation? The gps antennae is there, so I was kinda hoping maybe the module and such for it is also there, but locked away from usage because of a few 1's and 0's. I ask because the navigation thing pops up when I use the sync turn by turn directions.

3. Big one.. How in the heck do I get the AWD gauge? I tried and tried with the mobile FORScan apk, and my elm327 adaptor, but I am fairly sure I need the one with the switch on it..

Also.. When I connected my adaptor the left instrument panel display alerted that the awd module was now offline.. Should I be worried?

I can answer the unimportant question... no.. FORScan will not disable advancetrac...

@ -Jdkzombie What year is your vehicle ? Due add your vehicle to your signature so we can assist you better. TIA.
There is no way you can add or disable advance trak IIRC.
It is possible to add AWD to the left side of the instrument cluster through Forscan or IDS Software.

AWD with Forscan.

Well that blows.

Both of those links still had interesting info though.. It'd be cool to add the switch there and wire it to something else though.

If it's pertaining to your 13-SHO maybe Jason@fordpimods.com can be some assistance. Dunno. Z

Yes you can use it to add nav. Search on google, there are quite a few write ups on how to do it.

And its probably not something I can do with the mobile app though huh.. Rats.

Time to sweet talk the wife into letting me buy the adaptor from Amazon that has the USB cord.

Anyone else look at the name FORscan and think "FORskin"... every time... your welcome ;-)

You can find all the info you looking for here.

You don't need the adapter with the cable i bought the obdii MX on Amazon and it works with Bluetooth. I have added the engine hours, AWD gauge, DRL's, changed the amount of blinks with the turn signal soft touch, navigation, and the double honk when leaving the car on and exiting with the key.

Also, I didn't trust bluetooth. I got a hard wired one. It was $18 on amazon. Works great.
