FORScan 101 - Step-by-Step How to Start Guide

I won't say it's impossible, but....it's very, very unlikely.

Are you suggesting that Maverick has 'Infinite Improbability Drive '?

I am hoping someone has an idea for my ELM327 not connecting to my maverick. I ordered this model off Amazon and I downloaded the drivers fine. I get 1 red light and then nothing more when I connect to the mav.

I also went through to the website below and followed those directions. The device shows up in the Device Manager and while I run Windows 10, I also changed compatibility to Windows 7 and still nothing. I then downloaded the free Software to test if ELM327 is working (via this site) and all lines were green meaning it was connected. http://www.totalcardiagnostics.com/...elm327-usb-cable-on-windows-and-obd2-software

I have unplugged everything and replugged again, restarted, and still nothing. I am thinking my next bet may be to buy the more expensive programmer below to see if it works.

Oh, Maverick Lariat version also, no luxury. Any other ideas out there? thanks to all,

I have the ELM327 connector and it worked just find for adding ECO and SPORT modes to my TREMOR... Now how do we turn off the Start/Stop function???

Does FORScan void your warranty?
Does the programming last after disconnecting the battery and reconnecting?

No and yes.

I have made a multitude of changes to my 2023 Bronco with Forscan. It's not as intimidating as it sounds. I'm going to plug in to the Maverick for the 1st time today and just look around and see what's available to adjust.

Gonna make the plunge! I'm sure this may be debatable, but is there a general consensus on which scanner is the best one to buy, bang for the buck and features wise? Will my old Dell Venue Tablet running Windows 11 suffice for running the the software?

If you are dollar limited, this one is low buck, and recommended by FORSCAN:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...71505524!sh!US!193763300&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

I bought, and checked that it worked.
This is also available from the big river site. Above is supposed to be the MFG web presence on aliexpress. I think.
This will connect via USB to a PC/Laptop, but you need to down load a driver which I cannot remember the name of.

Ended up getting this one, but purchased it from an American supplier on Amazon so it cost a bit more. Oh, well.
