How many things can FORScan unlock?

[jsus]

More likely they just set up the FordPass for remote functionality. Phone as a key is a Sync 4 thing.

PaaK does not require Sync 4.

2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair only offers 8" Sync 3. It does offer Phone-as-a-Key.

I wanna hear more. Does it work?

My phone starts the car and I can use it to unlock it as well but I need to turn the key in order to drive you need the key in the ignition turned to on

I bought my 2022 XLT in early December and the dealership had activated my “phone as key” as I was signing paperwork

So the dealer helped you set up the Ford App, good for them

Thanks.
Those are the basic features of the Ford Pass app. I have that too.

There is a different feature, that isn't turned on for us yet, that allows you to leave your key (keyfob) at home and use the your phone as an actual key.

That's what I'm looking for.

Only two vehicles in the lineup actually have it right now: Mach-e and the F150 Lighting. It's had issues though and they're still working out the bugs...

can enable all transmission modes too!

So I have an XLT EB-Fx4 with Towing. What transmission modes don't I have already?

Eco and sport mode.

Hi,
I see that the Lincoln 2.7 AWD and EDGE 2.7 AWD has a Neutral Tow Mode. Can the Forscan unlock NTM on an AWD EB?

That kind of tech is freaky, sounds very hackable.

Just as hackable as replicating your keyfob. It's no different.....

Eco and sport mode.

With the gearing used in Fx4 and towing I would think I have a built in sport mode, eco mode might be handy but I get pretty good mileage currently so I am good. I currently am getting 27 to 30 mpg depending on my right foot.

 

[Nighowl2000]

Sport mode give you quick acceleration and keeps the rpms/boost high.

I use it when I am at a stop and have to make a quick lane change after the light.

Umm so does a heavy right foot and low diff gearing, which is what the Fx4 and Tow package are. Unless there is something in the programming that will dump a higher fuel/air mix into the system or advance the timing of the valves, which should happen if you get into the kickdown with a wide open throttle plate, .... just saying. There must be some overlap in these settings.

So far I haven't been beaten in a block by anything but a Tesla plaid.

It does because my fuel mileage will go up to 13 to 14l/100km (don't know what it is in freedom units ) from 10 - 12 l/100km.
