ok. Thanks. Now I need to try and find a working Windows laptop.
Question. What is the difference between the free ForScan Viewer and the paid ForScan Lite?

Viewer only lets you read DTC’s. Lite lets you do dashboards, and see live Data. It also lets you do some reset procedures.

I've tried looking through the spreadsheet, but is there a way to permanently change the ambient lighting color? Mine always switches to the default bluish color when I first get in and turn off the vehicle.
I would prefer it to be the color that I chose in the dashboard settings.

My 17 stays at what I put it at. Only time it resets is when I put a tune on or screw with programming on the APIM.

My 17 also uses the default blue color until I turn it on. Then it switches back to where I set it. It would be nice if there was a way to override the default

I think I found it this morning. I started searching other tabs for "ambient" and came up with this. It looks promising.

OH! Now I understand what you are asking!
Yes, there is a FORSCAN setting and I think that is correct! Set it to purple a long time ago for the Mrs!

Our 2018 Expy switches to red when the doors open and back to the chosen color when they are closed. I think this is a good idea for safety at night. Back in the day many cars had both red and white lights that came on when a door was opened. The red light was a safety "warning" light. In later years some makers de-contented nearly all door lighting other than the switch backlights but now some vehicles have ambient lights which can double as warning lights.

In another thread on power mirrors we just confirmed how to add POWER-FOLD to a truck that has memory mirrors but not power-fold mirrors. Note this does *not* enable any sort of "AUTO FOLD" feature (i.e. fold when locking the truck and arming the alarm) as that isn't available on our trucks without installing additional hardware.
POWER FOLD folds the mirrors in or out by pulling back on the switch in the driver's door armrest. The folding action is controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM). The first line of code in the DSM determines whether power-fold is enabled:
To enable POWER FOLD:

I know I'm new here but I've looked tonight until my eyes are about to bleed. I have yet to find the Remote start enable code. Can someone please help. Thanks in advance!

I don't have this info for Expedition, but this is for 2011-14 F-150 which should be the same:

Hi all, my apologies if this has been asked, but a search showed no results for me.
For my 2017 is there a way to have ForScan configure the internal air circulation to not auto-switch off when blowing over the windscreen + legs? I can keep it forever on internal on non-windscreen modes, and a bug in the logic allows me to keep it on internal forever too in windscreen + legs mode, when I start the car that way. But toggling windscreen of internal circulation starts the dreaded timer. And Murphy's Law dictates that it always switches off just when you are behind some foul smelling diesel.
This is pretty much my biggest bane with the car. I know there are some legal reasons for this timer, but other car manufactures allow switching the timer off in their settings, so I'm hoping one can configure the timer.

You're talking about running in "Re-circulation" mode all the time? I've never heard of a FORScan setting for this. If you leave it on too long it starts to get "stuffy" inside. I've left it on accidentally like that on a trip and, after a while, noticed I wasn't feeling that great so I switched it off. I felt much better after getting some fresh air.

Yes, I like to keep it on all the time, or at least control when it switches off instead of having to babysit the button. I'm not too worried about fresh air, as I noticed the 2017 model is leaky in general compared to e.g. a new Edge or the Explorer I had before. You still smell some car fumes (diesel, so not my own) even when in re-circulation. But It is usually just for those stretches of highway, and when I leave the main roads I leave fresh forest air in anyway.
Since they allow it on non-windscreen modes, I'm just puzzled they don't on that windscreen+ feet mode.
Other car brands allow this, but not Ford it seems, so I was hoping for a secret ForScan setting.

If those codes don't work or are incorrect just do it the "plain english" way. That's how I enabled it.
