NEW Flashcal+ Bronco Support!

[Superchips_Mktg]

Ordered.

Is there a way to have it program the cruise control to stay on at low speeds? Basically to act as stop and go cruise control?

Also - any way to use it to program auto hold on the brakes?

Brake hold is on the list already

Not sure about cruise control-control, but we can check it out.

This was asked by Mr Nick on page 3 of this thread but I didn’t see a response after reading through all 14 pages so far. This referring to the lane change signal flashes when you push the turn signal partially down without fully engaging the turn signal. I believe forescan can make this change.

“Ability to increase the number of flashes for lane changes from 3 to 4, 5 or 6.”

This is already added to the request list for our team to look into.

If I upgrade from the handheld are there any features I will loose?

No, only gaining by going to the FC+.

AUTO HOLD!!!! I'll buy in a heartbeat.

Forscan. I've had Auto hold for 2 years. All these options have been on Forscan. Let's see some non Forscanable features.
-Firmer Sport steering as the default norm.
—Cameras at speed like my 25 Ranger raptor has.
-Sport to default in 2H not 4A
Some of the mentioned features are available on the Pulsar I have.
-On all the time gear indicator. So we can see what gear it's in...

Why would I have to buy a crap windows computer, get forscan and learn to code when they could just easily add it to this and I have everything?? This replaces forscan for all those who want an easy to use interface.

Forscan will always be able to do more than this will. Sure this way is more convenient. But it's not the same at all. I've been using a cheap windows computer for years. Cost less than 199.
I keep forgetting people are getting lazier and lazier and want everything the easy way now.

A downside to Forscan is the possability of bricking a module if you screw up.

You think it couldn't happen with this? It's literally doing the same thing.

The odds of a person messing the programing up punching things in manually is much greater than the automated process of the Flashcal

Yet IS still possible to get it wrong

Exactly.
If someone is comfortable using Forscan to make changes then great, go for it.
If someone who isn't as comfortable using Forscan has the option to use a tool that is streamlined and easy (to them) to use, then why not?
Can something bad happen either way? Yes, but far less likely with a programmer than Forscan.
Bricking a $50k vehicle is much more likely to happen with someone who is trying to use Forscan because they "know just enough to be dangerous ".
