Quick question - are there any limitations to the IOS version of FOREScan? I have a MAC that runs Windows but I'd prefer to run in IOS if it's the same functionality. Looking to disable auto stop and possibly other features. Any other options I should consider? Thanks!

EDIT: 2019 Expedition MAX Platinum

There is an Area for this question. The FORSCAN area on this Forum is where this belongs as it is not 4th Gen Specific.

To answer the question. You have to have the Windows version to make changes period. You can run it virtually on Mac, but has to have Windows. The iOS version can do some clears and Diag procedures, monitor parameters, and read/clear DTC’s. It CANNOT change code, like remove the double honk.

All Good! Maybe the Mods will move it.

LokiWolf, I have been trying to research FORSCAN for my 2020 Expy but the large number of posts is never ending. Clearly, you are one of the resident experts! I remember you making a point the 2020 info is not necessarily the same as 2018-2019 Expy. So, that begs the question (for us newbies and other uninformed) why not have a location in the 4th gen specific for each of the years? I have great respect for your knowledge and am very new here, so please understand I mean no disrespect. Just lost in the jungle of FORSCAN!

2020, and the 2021 are still a 4th Gen Expedition. That hasn’t changed. The Computers are just a different version and config. That doesn’t warrant a separate area. You would end up with too much breakdown. More similarities than differences.

Thanks for the response. I had pretty much decided this is one of those things that you need to start doing to understand (at least for me). After I pay off my sway bars I will be doing just that.
