Forscan

[Dirtman]

How many of you folks use forscan? I've had it for about 6 months and already made a couple hundred bucks programming keys for people (even though half the time I did it the person could have done it themselves) I'm not sketchy, I straight up said... dude you have two keys, you can add a third yourself with no tools, I'll show you how for free and they still didnt wanna bother. Oh well free money...

Anyway. Seems like its lacking in ranger stuff as far as service functions and bi drectional. I plug into an f series and have a ton more functions available.
Is it because of the truck, or forscan is just not adding stuff for rangers? If the latter... I demand we stand up and fight for better service for our trucks from a place giving us 100% free software!.

And anyone know a good window based program that does regular obd2 scanning so I can have both ford and multi car on my laptop?

I've downloaded forscan for the purpose of reprogramming my 14 mustang gt to accept an aftermarket backup camera, but i haven't actually done it yet haha.

Well, I have the program, and I was starting to really get to using it when a co-worker forgot my adapter in a car and sent it down the road.

 

[Dirtman]

Well. What big helps you are.

Some have it, some don't.

Oh, never mind - I thought this was the off topic thread.....

I wasn't trying to help. The last time I tried to help someone with ForScan they sent my adapter down the road in a customer's vehicle.


On a related note at school today the IDS kept locking up, I got pissed and yelled "ForScan doesn't do this shit" and the instructor said that he likes it better than IDS because it doesn't do that shit, but officially he isn't allowed to admit it.

If you don't like the options available for the Ranger in Forscan, you can always join in the programming and fix it yourself. LOL

You can also go to their forum and ask. Have you gotten the license key?

I've used it a bunch on my 6.0 and 6.7 as well as other Fords, but really haven't messed with the desktop version on the Ranger.

I bought the lifetime extended license. Only 50 bucks. I've never used the "lite" version for android or ios, just the windows version. It's amazing software but if you use it alot you notice it has vastly different features depending on the vehicle you're working on.

I've used it on my '16 F150 with great results.

It's great!

Can I have it?

Why did you start a thread about foreskin?

 

[sgtsandman]

Can I have it?

That was 50+ years ago. I doubt the hospital still has it.

I always imagined they used it to graft onto people with big gaping wounds.
