FORScan for Ford Everest

**ferrarifan** · October 25th, 2016 04:18 PM

For those who are interested in FORScan and how other Ford model owners were able to make changes to some features of their units, please see link below. Hoping we can have similar sharing of information on how we can utilize FORScan to fully utilize features of our Everest.

HOW TO: FORScan - Modify Module As-Built Data (Detailed)

**ferrarifan** · October 25th, 2016 04:32 PM

I have limited time to tinker so far with the software but I was able to modify the timeout of the power supply on my 12V cigarette lighter, a common complain of owners who use the outlet as power source for gadgets.

FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck - Page 22 - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans

The default HEX value of most units is 1194 in the first block of the address in the link above. This is the same with the Everest, meaning the timeout is around 1 hour and 15mins. I changed mine to 0005 for a 5-second delay before power is lost. Note that the countdown starts once you open the driver's door after turning off the engine.

Please refer to the table given in the link above to set your own desired timeout. It should be simple enough to understand.

I was also able to make this modification to my DRL, but I reverted to original settings as I want the default setting of my DRL.

This is also helpful for those who want to disable their DRLs.

I initially bought this adapter...

ELM327 WiFi OBD2 Car Diagnostics Scanner Code Reader for iPhone iOS
AND Android - Intl | Lazada PH

Bad decision. While it is cheap and works with my android phone, this doesn't work with FORScan. It will give you a "bad clone message" and you can't connect to your vehicle.

There are still some cheap options that can be found online like this one...

ELM327 OBD2 USB Modified Switch Forscan Elmconfig Ford Focus Mondeo Mazda | eBay

They should work perfectly but I cannot confirm since I did not buy one.

I bought an adapter which is a bit pricey but contains the original ELM chipset.

elm327, elm 327, originl elm327, original elm electronics, obd2 usb, elm327 usb original elm 327

Works flawlessly and can access all modules on the Everest. It's not cheap and took 3 weeks to arrive, but if you do enough looking around, you can find an adapter that is cheaper and should work as well as the one I bought. I suggest you try the one available on eBay.

How do | Adjust automatic headlight sensitivity | everest

I‘m Chinese guy.

My car：ford everest ecoboost 2.0T 2107

I want to adjust automatic headlight sensitivity.

China has a lot of tunnels, each time into the tunnel, the automatic headlamps open time is too slow.

Is there a way to adjust the opening faster？

i don't think it's possible to modify in Forscan, at least for now.

For trend version. From thailand ford everest forum. Bugzilla

IPC (Offroad Gauge) - 720-07-02 - from 0004 to 0204

Sa kanila na enable nila yung drl control sa ipc/dashboard. Pero parang sa titanium lang nag work.

Nice find bro *ferrarifan. I think *janemar is also working on the remote start. Kailangan kaya ng remote start module?
