Thanks! I usually only use FordPass to verify I locked the truck when out of keyfob range; I think I've only remote started with the app once or twice. And used it to unlock once; I locked the fob inside the truck (duuhhhh, I know)...

1. Is this something that Forscan can do?
2. What is the process?

I did some searches and saw posts from people who attempted to do this and had problems. Wondering if this function is buggy. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I just did mine a couple of weeks ago on a 2020. The camera was replaced at the dealer, the camera worked but had no lines as well as the "+" to zoom in on the hitch didn't work. I knew the mechanic on a personal level so I called him and he mentioned he must not have done the LIM module reset or initialization (can't remember which). So I plugged in Forscan and found it under the wrench Icon I think. I can check when I get home from work if you need me to. Forscan and the LIM reset fixed my issues.

Thanks! Are there any other steps in the LIN module initialization or is it as simple as clicking run?

I got it by going to the FORSCAN tutorial and clicking on the link to the FORSCAN website. It was fairly painless.

No, it was straight forward, it said something about parking vehicle on level ground and then you click ok , continue or something as such.
