I have an ELM327В that I modified tonight to read the MS-CAN portion, and it works great! I just need the extended license to do more, so IвЂ™m waiting on that for now. Ours is on a Panasonic Toughbook that looks like it has been run over by a semi truck a few times.

I need to hook up my car and my momвЂ™s Fusion and update all the modules to the latest software. There wasnвЂ™t an option to change the ratio in the IDS on his 2005 but there was on the 2011. I just used our IDS a few days ago to turn off dark mode on a friendвЂ™s 2011 Crown Vic.ДЇunny thing, he has a 2005 Vic also and when the rear diff blew itself apart he put in a Trak-Loc with carbon clutches and 3.55s. both programs are from Russian Developers if that matters to anyoneвЂ¦. There is another program from different authors that works вЂњbetterвЂќ with certain models (Focus, Fiesta, Escape/Kuga) Called Focccus, but iвЂ™ve no experience with it. The FSM i bought gave the instructions with IDS, but said it wasnвЂ™t possible in the sable, just the Taurus, and Taurus X. when i asked the guys at my local ford dealer to do that, a year or two prior, they scratched their heads and looked at me funny.вЂќI donвЂ™t know if we can do thatвЂ¦ it might be possible, but weвЂ™d have to look into itвЂ¦вЂќ Using Forcan with the extended license, I activated the DRLвЂ™s on both my Sable, and MomвЂ™s Taurus. you can generate a new extended key any time.

To unlock the full potential of Forscan, you need the extended license(Free, valid for 3 months at a time)) requires an account on the Forscan Forums.

Then thereвЂ™s a вЂњliteвЂќ version for android/and Iphone (paid) The main program is for windows (with a version that runs via Wine on Linux,MacOS, and BSD)(Free) The guy who inspected my car said the transmission pids look faster than his Verus, he downloaded the app on the spot. I have an Android head unit in my Explorer, and have nice gauges that monitor any pid I want(even 4Г—4 percentage, converter lockup). There is an Android version for a few bucks, but it isnвЂ™t bi-directional (author is working on that). If youвЂ™re buying an OBD2 connection tool, make sure it can read the MS CAN signals. One thing to note вЂ“ Ford uses multiple CAN protocols in their modern vehicles. IDS is much more capable than Forscan, but for most people that doesnвЂ™t really matter.ДЇorscan works with VCM2В just fine, but itвЂ™s easier if you use a Bluetooth OBD2 connection вЂ“ I use an OBDLink MX вЂ“ and unless you have the VCM for some other reason, Bluetooth is way cheaper too.

#FORSCAN EXTENDED ANDROID MANUAL#

IDS is designed for people to do things exactly the way the manual says вЂ“ itвЂ™s pretty clear that it wonвЂ™t let you color outside the lines. IвЂ™m a shade-tree mechanic and I have IDS and VCM2 (both real, fully licensed) and I have Forscan.ДЇorscanВ is designed for people who want to tinker with settings, clear codes and customize the electronics in their vehicles. If you have a Ford this should be the only tool you need.ДЇorscan runs with the VCMII I believe. It can read any PIDs and even the mileage on my 95 Lincoln, so it covers pretty much everything from some 94s-17, including air suspension and ABS wheel speed.

It will start by scanning all the computers in your car, autodetecting it, and reporting any codes.ДЇor newer Fords, there are two CAN buses, and you could either modify a cheap adapter or buy one that can deal with the other bus. It works with most adapters that work with Torque. I think it can even do flashing with some cars. The reason why you must have a Forscan adapter:ДЇorscan is a free scan tool that is bi-directional and almost as good as IDS.
