Placeholder for coming FORScan thread.

I wouldn't plan on Forscan support out of the gate.

This truck has a completely new network internally, Forscan may catch up eventually.

I've already pulled the asbuilt on all the modules and the '21 F150 is more like the Super Duty than ever and many of the newer modules including the BCM are the same format being used in the 2020 F250/F350 so it shouldn't be problem with FORScan accessing it pretty quickly once released although the IPC might lag behind since it is totally different and not like any other current IPC modules in any Ford vehicles.

I can see a possibility where if changes can be made using something like Forscan, or similar, the OTA functionality could be used to undo changes or report changes to Ford, where you could be notified of possible denial of warranty work.

On some cars that adopted OTA a few years ago, enthusiasts have been known to disable the telematics system, for many reasons. Any vehicle with OTA can conceivably be hacked, tracked, recorded (everything recorded BTW, your speed, location, voice, in some cases camera info if system supports it) so there's a bit of "tin foil hat" conspiracy claims going on.

I am considering to remove/disable OTA from my wife's new Toyota. I paid cash for the car, it's ours now and Toyota doesn't need a "peephole" into our driving adventures.

Yeah, I am sure Ford won't care about turning off OTA or removing telematics if you own the car. (Leases through Ford Credit might be a different story). Worse comes to worse, an owner could always just remove the cellular modem! But I am sure they do not want people getting hill descent and other features without paying for them. And I also could see them wanting to prevent people from disabling things that are mandated by federal regulation.

The Super Duty is not a FNV yet. So I wouldn't count on this.

Please excuse my ignorance but what exactly does Forscan do?

I am really cut up about one option - Multi-Contour ActiveMotion Seats. They seem to be bundled with auto running boards and 20” wheels which I am trying to avoid for payload concerns - yet I’d very much like the active motion part for back issues. KR base has a multi-contour seats as an option. Is the active motion part something one can turn on?
