Those really are 2 different questions. The iPhone has nothing to do with programming with FORSCAN. The iPhone only runs FORSCAN lite and it can make no changes.

You have to use FORSCAN with a full license on a Windows machine to make changes.

I use an OBDLink MX BT for my programming with my laptop. With the BT connection I can still use my WiFi in the laptop for access to my home network.

I use a Kiwi3 for my iPhone for FORSCAN Lite, Dash Command, and OBD Doctor. It is fast, but does not work with the full FORSCAN, as far as the last time I checked.

I ended up buying a obd2 that has a usb plug for my laptop. I only need it to turn off bulb out indicator.

Which one? They are not all created equal. It must support MSCan, most do not.

When connected the Forscan screen prompts informed me where to put the switch for what I wanted to change. Simple.

Was it easy getting the extended license to download and work?

If I recalled it took a day or two for them to approve the account. When I went back to renew the license it was automatic.
Yeah just got approved on their forum yesterday, and I was able to get a verification key today. Just need to download it onto my laptop when I get home tomorrow morning and hopefully it won't give me any issues doing that

It downloaded and installed very easily for me. There are a couple of FAQs that you want to make sure to read as the the software itself isn't very intuitive.

To turn off the hyper flash for the front turn signals change:

726-13-01 0101 0000 43 Front lamp outage on (hyper flash)

change the 0101 to 0000

Awesome info, will update tomorrow to let you know how it went
I got both of those from @LokiWolf I used the one for the front but I have not used the one for the tail lights as mine have resistors. I though about unplugging them and trying it but haven't done it yet.

If you have power running boards, when you recet the BdyCM it will turn your Running boards off so just be aware of that.
