I successfully wrote global windows close to my 2018 Explorer Sport but got “service procedure has been interrupted” error when trying it on the 2020 ST. I purchased the 1 year extended license.

So my bet it the 2020 does not have the same firmware as the 2018. That is why the error. Can yo do any other things to the 2020? They are new enough you may be the one to go out and test what is possible. Maybe #Platinumowner will chime in on the 2020

I will test and see what I can and cannot do. Will report back

That’s because I’m sure the 2020 is a different system. Not everything works between years. There’s stuff a 17 and 18 can have changed that I can’t change on my 16.

Hi
I have been trying to make global window open/close changes using the latest version of Forscan and the ELM 327 by OHP and am getting error messages. Do you know if Forscan is still limited when using it with such a new model vehicle ?

Welcome to the Forum.

Check out my spreadsheet here. I try to keep it up-to-date.

Thanks, this has been very useful.
Have you updated your spreadsheet recently? The 2011-2019 says last update 10/18/18.

The links aren't working any longer :/

Any chance you can share the 2020 explorer?
Thanks!

The first one works for me, The 2nd one requires an Apple Sign-In (iCloud).

You are correct, I’ve combined them in to the original spreadsheet which has been shared much more widely. I am adding many settings for the 2020s in the next week.

Do you know if there is any setting like Secure Idle for 11-15 Explorer?
I'm pissed that anybody can drive it without key fob and it can be driven as long as one keeps engine running or restarts it within several seconds!

They can only do that if you leave it running and unattended.

That is not the point! Point is f...ing Ford did not secure it enough.

 

[peterk9]

Personally I don't see an issue. On remote start, you have to lock the doors in order to start it. That is 'securing' the vehicle. If you close the door with the engine running and you take the fob with you, it honks the horn. That is a 'security' warning. If you want to leave it running and unattended, you can lock the vehicle with the Securicode keypad. If you leave it running and unattended and someone jumps in and takes off, that is not Ford's fault. It's that same as leaving your keys in the ignition. As far as the Fast Restart feature goes, I'm not sure why that is available or who has ever used it. I'm not really sure what it is you want Ford to have done. It is up to the driver/owner to ensure the vehicle is secure at all times.

Is there a way to add WiFi hotspot to the WiFi settings? I didn’t see anything on the list.

What kind of list do you mean? If its to add it by Forscan, No, it is not possible. You have to have a module for that feature to work, if vehicle has it that should be somewhere in the SYNC settings

I think he probably meant spreadsheet.
Stay safe out there in the West Denis.

[greylimit]

Ok thanks. Yes, I meant the spreadsheet. Oh well, I was trying to see if I could get the feature of starting / unlocking car from the FordPass app and read I needed the WiFi hotspot setting. I don’t have that setting under WiFi.
