    2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

    OK, just looked at my box. There is a small, generic, clear circular piece of tape keeping the box shut.

    2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

    Nice! Not sure how it's supposed to come but box was NOT sealed. The device was in box and not even in a plastic bag. As far as I know, there are no counterfeit Mongoose adapters. Those have been a huge problem on Amazon. Order a genuine product, return a counterfeit.

    2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

    The only thing about Amazon is that returns have been abused. I highly suspect my Mongoose was used, as it had a very low serial number and when I went to activate it using the Mongoose PC software, it said "already activated". I kept it because it looked new and functioned perfectly. I...

    2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

    Since you have multiple Fords, you can easily justify the Mongoose. I didn't buy an extended warranty so I used the money I saved on it. For a MY2020, it was definitely worth having. Hopefully your need for it is less seeing how 2025 is a mature product. You may have already seen this but...

    2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

    I think you may need FDRS at the present time. The Ford instructions say: "SSM 52795: Once the Securicode® RKE wired keypad has been installed it must be enabled using the Ford Diagnostic Repair System (FDRS) BCM - Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Wired Keypad Code Programming application. Refer...

    Should I spend an extra $300?

    Why only those two tires? Why not the Scorpion WeatherActive XL in factory size

    Question on Unique Engine Auto Start Stop

    Could be you still have a weak original battery, in which case it will not turn on.

    Lowering Springs: Lethal, Eibach, Steeda, H&R PROS and CONS

    Well, apparently not everyone gets the same treatment because when I told them about the rust, they said environmental factors are beyond their control. But they did offer to send me a new rear pair for $170 shipped, which is better than getting a new complete set of springs.

    Fluids Change - Need clarification

    Should be fine. I used Redline 75w90 synthetic for the rear diff just because that's what i already had.

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    Just as an aside, the Mongoose can also be used with Forscan, in addition to FDRS.

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    Did you use the OBDlink MX+ with Forscan? Forscan has some service procedures in addition to diagnostics. Forscan Lite is great also for diagnostics and a limited number of service procedures while on the go. I keep my MX+ in the car for when a dash warning pops up or when I have some down...

    Two months of ownership and I haven't looked under the hood yet?

    That's sweet when you get some unadvertised aftermarket parts on there. Maybe they have a tune on there too!

    Yes. I popped it back in

    Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

    Conjecture? I noticed the springs are now coded with a date and a version. There is a slight difference in the coiling but not sure if this represents a change in design or manufacturer or normal production variation.

    Seeking Advice on Headlight / Tail Light Tint & Possible Bulb Upgrade

    If you use 20% tint, I don't think there are any bulbs you could use that would overcome that hit.

    No GPS

    I have had this very seldomly but it does happen. I usually reboot SYNC (hold down PWR + FFWD) and it will be fine after.

    Any input or thoughts on this transmission mount insert?

    neat. I never knew the trans mount cavities were so large. Thanks for sharing.

    Help identify this sound please. 2020 Ford Explorer ST

    Sound at 0:26 almost sounds like exhaust shields rattling. Is that the sound you are concerned about? Everything else sounds normal.
