Has anyone tried enabling the perimeter plus alarm system in Forescan? According to this guy it's installed on all Ford vehicles but only can be turned on by the dealer.
Anyone tried this? IF not I'll take a stab and see what I find.

Any chance there is an option in ForScan that allows you to tie the seat and mirror positions to the particular key FOB used to open the doors and start the Bronco? I'm guessing the answer is no since the power seats themselves don't have a memory button (which is a head scratching omission in this day and age) but love this FOB feature on my Escalade and thought I'd ask.

I attempted this. First, the perimeter alarm is already active in the system. I was able to trip it by trying to open the door from the inside handle with the window down (a VERY edge case scenario imo). When I tried following the instructions to enable the shock sensors I couldn't get it to work. I think these instructions are for a key system, doesn't seem to work with the push to start button. I bit the bullet and ordered one from the dealer.
Can you use the ForScan program with a very old Windows laptop? Have a 12 year old laptop running (barely) Windows 7 sitting in a box for the rare occasion a program is Windows-only.

I would imagine that if the Bronco had such a capability and it was simply hidden/deactivated by Ford on lower trim or by opting out, then there would've been a perimeter alarm option from the factory or dealer activated option at any rate (otherwise, why incur additional expense in every vehicle built that neither Ford nor the buyer could benefit from?). Never did see that option when I was building mine, and I got pretty much everything that I could find to add on.
Guys, hope you can help me out. I'm trying to get rid of the chimes and I keep getting the service interruption error. Running version 2.3.44 of forscan and have OBDLink MX. Anyone got any insights?

This may have been asked. I have a question regarding forscan and enabling baja mode. I plug in the adaptor follow all the instructions everything is linked properly. I go to configuration and programming and it won't recognize the transmission (10R60) I select that and I get a couple boxes to confirm that's the right one (see pic) and that's where I stopped because that differs from everyone else. Do I just need to confirm and keep going? Most yt vids they didn't have to go through this step. Tia

Is there a certain forscan model on Amazon, or will any of them do?Barely tested it but I have enabled Sport Mode on a Badlands. What's curious is that it shifts to 4A when you enable this. . Also I have only just enabled it, drove 20 feet and then went back inside. It appears to work but I will confirm soon. I do now have all 8 modes in the SDM. I can't confirm the options listed below are guarantees I just compared a VIN for each trim and correlated the factory G.O.A.T. mode choices to the As-Builts. Seeing how Sport Mode was easily enabled I am fairly confident this is the DIY for all 8 modes on any trim.
I have updated the table with potential ability to turn off modes if you so desire. I have not tested them yet. Flashing the ABS module will throw many codes in it and you will need to clear DTC's. For many who might be new to ForScan and even those who are not, it's my recommendation to clear codes before you write a change (if present) and definitely after each write of a change you make. You don't want to lose communication with a module and not know it until you've finished doing other things.

I've personally purchased this device off Amazon, although I do not yet have a Bronco to use it on. I have seen Pickens and EvilleTruck use this device successfully on YouTube, and it's cheaper than the recommended device.
