With certain FORScan scanners connected, you can see some real-time data/info...like different vehicle temps (coolant, trans, etc) and other pieces of data (voltage)...not sure how useful it would be, but I’m sure some would like to see the info.

It can be VERY useful.

I used it on My Edge to watch the Misfire PID to prove my 2.7 was having the head issue. Got no back talk and now I have a new Motor.

I have used it to watch Trans Temps(Real Number).

OK, this has nothing to do with Forscan (software) but with whatever is plugged into the OBD2 port (hardware) and some other software to read it.

Not true. I used the iOS Forscan app to do the above. The Full version on a PC can do the exact same thing. It can watch any PID live.

I can make graphs and monitor anything and everything in real time with FORScan, it's great.

Here's some data of my engine while I was troubleshooting some VCT issues.

I went into the BCM module (726-45-01) and changed the hex values according to the calculator. I was off by 2 mph before the change and I am still off by 2 mph. Is there something else that must be done to make that change work?

Can’t be done with any existing coding out there. We do not have the module that the other cars that have that feature.

The module the Expy uses might have the capability, but it would literally take changing one bit at a time.

I spent hours on it and the Boost, no go.
