FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck

I spent about 90 minutes this morning scavenging the bluetooth module from my wife's laptop so I can get BT working on my laptop. As far as I can tell... it's now working!
I wanted to get the auto-fold mirrors working, but neither my GoPoint or my OpenPort 2.0 J2534 interfaces will bring up the modules I need to get it done. So I was thinking...
Would anyone be willing to send out their BT interface via USPS for me to use? I'll pay shipping and throw in a couple of scheckles for you. I know that I can hack a module for all of $20-ish... but I'm trying to avoid clutter. It seems like a waste to buy something, of which I'm sure there are hundreds just sitting on shelves around the country going unused.
Perhaps we could start a FORScan interface pool... no: I'm not volunteering to manage such a beast.

Yeah, I hear you. It's easy to get spoiled by the ability to tweak your truck on demand. But just think of those poor souls who aren't even aware of the fact that they can do this stuff! The ones that curse the double-honk every time it happens... those saps.

WOW... What a thread and an interesting time to join it. I just finished reading all 333 pages before jumping in so I would not ask question that have been asked so many times before but I still a little confused on the auto fold and tilt functions for the tow mirrors. Is there a solution for these mirrors yet.
I have my BT Scantool ordered so I'm hoping to get into this next week.
Thanks in advance to everyone involved in this GREAT work....

Can someone who has the autofold working try changing DDM & PDM to the following and see if it still works?
DDM:
740-12-01 F000
PDM:
741-12-01 F000
I don't believe the "FC" is needed there but just the "F" so if it works I'll update the common tab on spreadsheet since our trucks normally have a "0" where the "C" is. Reason for this is when I submit things to the FORScan developers, they're looking for single bit changes for the future Plain English area settings and will ask me to narrow it down to a single bit change.
