Forscan and obd2 port

[toddr]

Hello all,

I have a 2020 raptor on the way and should take delivery next month. I have heard good things about forscan but I wasn’t too familiar with it or have personal experience with it. Has anyone used it and would they recommend it? Also what obd2 reader do you recommend to use with it?

Can't for the life of me get it to not say "ELM missing"

Read this very carefully. It should answer all of your questions including which interface to buy. Be absolutely certain to properly back up your “as built” settings before making any changes. If you screw anything up, you’ll be glad to have them.

I can second that statement!

I bought this OBD2 scanner and it works perfectly with Forscan:

Do you know of any Bluetooth options that work, as I don’t have a windows compatible computer to use with the program?

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it! In your research is it best to use the full version or is the lite sufficient? Basically the only two things I want to do is turn off the auto start/stop and turn off the fake engine noise through the speakers.

Here's a solid Bluetooth OBD2 connector:

And a USB Bluetooth dongle if your laptop doesn't have Bluetooth or Bluetooth is not reliable:

I have the same dongle as 4rdFan, works well.

I orginally was going to get the blue tooth but I think I read about connectivity issues and didn't want a problem.

Join the forscan forum there is alot of good info over there.
Oh. And copy all of your ORIGINAL settings so you can go back if something is wrong.


Goodluck
