For some reason my travel link says needs subscription. It worked after I added the navigation. Any thoughts?

Ford canceled the subscription for it?

Quarterly Free period just ended, maybe they accidentally included yours in the cutoff.

Yes, it is limited. Asking questions is how we all learned

Important to also understand the answers,,, As far as I know the lite ones will not work for what we want. They don't even have the button you need to press. Do not waste your money trying..

And my iPad will not connect via BT to the MX.. And the WiFi MX is known to be garbage.

I see, I guess the pass thru J2534 you can get to the vid block of the PCM but I don't know if the software is ready to do changes in it and what all would need to be changed. Still lots more to be done.

07+D0+04+01+01+03+02+00+00=E2

if you manually change any of the values you need to calculate the last checksum bits to equal the new setting.
I thought forscan automatically calculated the check sum? Maybe this is referring to something different.
