    Honest opinion of 2025 ST. Buying a 24.

    A couple of things, the new Explorer does not have Sync 4, it uses a Google infotainment. Not sure if they would still require a sub base system but might for Ford services. The Sync 4 nav will work for life BUT RTT and CB routing will not work which is almost standard for different automakers...

    2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

    Heard back from FORScan Team and they can't assist. I just purchased the Mongoose Plus J2534 Wired Adapter. Will report back how the process went and the steps to activate the keypad.

    2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

    Yeah, I was thinking about purchasing a new adapter so I can run FDRS when needed. I'm gonna see what FORScan team says first. Hopefully they can figure something out. The cheapest adapter was like $400 on Amazon.

    Honest opinion of 2025 ST. Buying a 24.

    ...of note, the hands free liftgate is gone on the 23's and 24's, sure you can buy the correct module and plug it in and make the changes in forscan to get it to work, but in my case I tried just that but never got it working so I gave up. The parking brake update that ford implemented as a...

    updated forscan spreadsheet???

    I was wondering why some FORScan things weren't working on my 24 LARIAT. Thank you to all the people who take the time to make the spreadsheets. It is really appreciated. To show my gratitude, here's the shop manual for the 2025 Explorer and the 2024 F150.

    2025 Explorer Keyless Entry Keypad FORScan Programming

    Thanks for the response. I sent them an email. The latest Beta version 2.4.14 identified the vehicle and listed all the modules properly so I thought we were in business. I enabled Bambi Mode and that works. Got the new spreadsheet from your other post. Thanks!

    Question on Unique Engine Auto Start Stop

    Three different ways to turn off auto start stop. Turn off with Forscan, certain device, or have your aftermarket tuner turn it off.

    Checked the oil pressure with Forscan. 16 PSI at idle Jump up to 60 PSI reving the engine up.

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    Absolutely right! I used it all the time with FORScan. I just don't work on vehicle anymore like I used and that's why I'm selling the Mongoose interface. I rarely used Ford's software because FORScan can do just about everything. But for those few things that FORScan cannot do, it's nice to...

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    ...the cheapest route to nearly all functionality. Unless there's a scan tool for under 1k that can do everything, which would be amazing, that will likely be the route I take. When I get home tonight I am going to try the MX+ with Forscan and see if that enables me to do what I have to currently.

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

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

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    Thank you I didn't even know FDRS was a thing. I will try to find a compare/contrast of features between Forscan and FDRS, if anyone else has any other scan tools they want to recommend that works for these purposes, feel free to add. I do believe there is a level of complexity and knowledge...

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    Here is a link to the FORScan forums page Here. You can reprogram some thing, make keys, etc. It does quite a bit. You just need an interface and a laptop.

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    ...that works with Ford's software. I would just buy a 2-day license whenever I needed to work on a Ford vehicle and had to do something FORScan was not capable of. I mainly purchased it to tune my Mustang but it worked great if I had to run the ABS pump or reprogram something. If it's something...

    Bi-Directional Scanner Tool

    I've never used Forscan. Mainly I want something I can for sure turn my fuel pump on to empty my tank as I've had to do that twice from bad e85. Secondly I want something capable of relearning modules if I want to swap out for instance, my ABS module is bad, and I don't want the dealer to...

    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...
