Anyone had any luck viewing this software on a smart watch?

Just trying to decide whether to get the BT version or the wifi. If it syncs with my watch then I'll get the BT version.
Nope. Does not work with a Smart Watch...and kinda pointless, unless you only want to monitor. Even then, still somewhat pointless in my opinion.

So here it is.

Both the OBDLink MX Wifi Version and the BT version will work with Windows and Android.

Only the MX Wifi version works with Apple devices.

I chose to go with the BT version even though I have an iPhone 7, because I wanted to be able to connect to my home Wifi, while also talking to the car via my laptop.

You have to use Windows to Program via FORSCAN. The mobile version only monitors.

I use a Kiwi3 for Monitoring, and clearing codes via my iPhone. It is smaller anyway and sticks out less.

I have a 2017, Expedition XLT, 202a, SYNC3 v2.0
I have been looking at the following spreadsheets:

2011-2018 Explorer: https://www.icloud.com/numbers/0AtiYU-yJ4Nrfyfuzp-Mi0l8A
2011-2015 Explorer: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JHLK2oCBe-E5om9VNeY6e3NwboO9Em0dDBZIgUVyGxc/
2015-2017 F-150's: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...iVSlDFGFHnfeuhb3RTMVz95730/edit#gid=815852466
2013+ Ford Fusion: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...X5Qhee3C0ngilqwTA7E/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true
2015+ Mustang S550: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-gytuV9qPfxvLLcFBIl6nt9h5MGW-NWEPc04cN-ro60/edit#gid=0
2015+ Mustang GT350: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k0ZBnLT5CnHuL6BbkKg0AxhCmNlE_0Zev3zVnyz-5_A/edit#gid=0
2017 Super Duty: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qf2gYgkhmsX-dnFO3Ki0nYUvr7aeLKsHsA0WxhDns1s/edit#gid=0

I have found the following that actually work for my 2017 Expedition, I have sent my BdyCM to one of the active posters on the F-150 forums for help with activating DRLs and he said the code was very different than the Ford Pickups.
Xs represent checksum and Forscan will correct it.

Bambi mode (fogs and high beams) BCM 726-11-01 0001 0000 XX -> 0002 0000 XX

Rear Lamp Outage disable (no more hyperflash) BCM 726-14-01 0101 000 XX -> 0000 0000 XX

Lane Change from 3flash to 6flash SCCM 724-01-01 983E E6XX -> 983E EAXX

No Green Fog indicator on Dash IPC 720-01-02 240B 10XX -> 240B 00XX

No Green Headlight indicator on Dash IPC 720-03-01 6004 BB00 00XX -> 4004 BB00 00XX

Key in Ignition Chime disable IPC 720-02-01 47843C31 1CXX -> 4704 3C31 1CXX

Heated/Cooled Seats on center display AIPM 7D0-01-01 B222 0401 28XX -> B222 0401 2AXX
For the above I changed the "A" to every number 1-F and got seats, stearing wheel and rear controls in all kinds of order. I have H/C seats but no heated stearing wheel so A worked for me.

Im still looking for ambient lighting no change for entry and door ajar, also DRL!

Thanx Mike

Thanks Mike, I have been wanting to play around with this but I just haven't had the time. The first spreadsheet that is in iCloud isn't opening something about it being out of sync.

I want to activate the auto fold mirrors and there is a setting when backing up that tilts the passenger side mirror down so you can see the rear wheel.

I am thinking about switching out the turn signal bulbs for LEDs so that deleting the hyperflash option is of interest.

I switched out my tail lights for LEDs and bought a bunch of different kinds looking for the brightest, I haven't received all of them yet so I don't have a final decision. But a word to the wise when you buy them, buy them in sets of 4, a couple have burned out.
So far this has been the brightest from DT-Autotech, Ebay:

2X 3157/3156 50W Red Projector High Power Chip LED Brake Tail Stop Lights Bulbs
I set the bulb outage to disabled and **** the hyperflash went away! I also changed the backup bulb to 15w HID, but I'm not particularly happy with that.

As far as the autofolding mirrors go I would very much like to have that feature, but it appears so far that we need the DDM, drivers door module, and PDM, passenger door module to make it happen and I have neither of those :( I think the autotilting mirrors would be not be very useful for me but they would need the same two missing modules.

Found another spreadsheet, 2016 Ford Superduty:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...G7xdFLGKxIr1-K_RwrIx4qIAtI/edit#gid=882975515

Also found DRLs, on the above spreadsheet that works!!!
DRLs BCM 726-11-01 0?02 0000 XX
change ? to:
0 DRL disabled
1 DRL 50% low beam
2 DRL fog lights
3 DRL turn signal (I assume front only, i didn't try it)

Thanks for the update. I have been wanting to play around with this all summer but I have been so busy I haven't had the time. I'm wondering if the Limited has those modules. I have the powerfold mirrors. The power tilting mirrors is a nice feature for when you are parking close to a curb. It lets you see where your wheel is so you can keep the tire off the curb or it just helps you park within the lines.

ExpeditionAndy, I don't think I was very clear. I have the autofolding mirrors, the mirrors will fold using the control above the window switches. What I want is for the mirrors to automatically fold in when the truck is locked then fold out when the truck is unlocked. I looked at the electrical diagram for the Expedition and there is no DDM or PDM listed, however there is a DSM (Drivers Seat Module) directly wired to the side mirrors. I would expect that if folding the mirrors "automatically" is possible the setting will be hidden there.

It is called Auto Fold...it is there. There are 2 settings, one for Park, and one for door open I believe in the DSM.

Thanks Ray, I have that on one of the spread sheets, I just haven't had time to play with it. I figure once the weather starts to cool then I can sit in the truck and and play with the settings.

I also want to try for the Auto Tilt as well.
