#FORD IDS VS FORSCAN UPDATE#
– full mode activated, access to existing sections of the software, such as: VBF Loader, Update Wizard and Direct Config. It worked, and kept the other value location I was watching unchanged.) Started with FORScan on 2018 F150 Lariat FX4 Sport (501A) 3.5L GTDI w/ Max Trailer Tow (1/31/18 delivery).Īuto Start/Stop – disable (haven’t done the optional display or button yet)ĭouble-honk w/ key disable (gotta do this on my other Ford also!)Įngine & Transmission Temps above display (FANTASTIC when I start towing!)įake Engine Sound (* I used the EASY version on this one, because I was skeptical the single value change would not remove other functionality. Only thing is the name reminds me of part of a dick… Lmao, probably gotta have English as 1st language to understand that one Tried forscan today on mazda 6 with vcm2 clone. It’s much better & faster than an ELM27 or ELS27 adapter for firmware flashing.ĮLS27 FORScan Scanner is very good and free and works with vcm2, Google itįorscan work with cheap elm but no module programming, also vcm2 works with this software I think it is around a $80 a day, It isn’t something most people consider and I haven’t looked into it too hard.Ī good VCMII clone (from a trusted source) can be had for £165 and is a good choice for anyone thinking of doing firmware updates with FORScan.
You can buy a VCM II and lease out time to use IDS from websites that partner with Ford. 2020 Top 4 Ford diagnostic programming tools in the market below:
