@b-real @kquinn9999 I tried this today. First, 706-01-02 is NOT in Livnitup's spreadsheet so I'm not sure what it does. Second, it added a slider in the Vehicle menu for Trailer Side View (defaulted off). I'm assuming the cameras only engage when a trailer is present so I won't be able to test it until next week. I have a 23 Platinum

Trouble using OBDLink with Forscan
I purchased a 21 F250 about 4 months ago, when I got it I ordered a OBDLink MX+ I downloaded Forscan and installed in on my computer, and went in and adjusted TPMS PSI, and Highbeam/Fog lights on at the same time. It's been a month since I made those changes and I tried to go in and eliminate some of the door dinging and check back seat for occupants this past weekend, I could not get Forscan to discover the OBDLink. Im using windows 11, I'm not sure if that relevant or not. I had no issues the first time I made changes. I contacted OBDLink and they said it must be an issue with Forscan.
Anyone else having the same problem?
My Forscan license is good until August 2023.

My computer wouldn't connect to the OBDLink using Forscan. It would connect to the OBDLink (that plugs into the OBD port on the truck) when i used the OBDLink app. but when I started Forscan it would say something like "failure to connect to scan tool, scan tool not found."

That is the Bluetooth device right? Connects fine to your phone but not a computer?
Probably just a Bluetooth issue on your computer. Make sure Bluetooth is on, make sure you see it in your Bluetooth devices. Turn off Bluetooth, then turn it back on.
This one of the main reasons I went USB. One less thing to go wrong.
Also, don’t save a profile of your truck in Forscan and delete the one that is in there. This will force Forscan to scan all your modules each time you load it which is a good thing. Little slower but still a good thing.

yes the OBDLink is bluetooth. I can find it if I have the OBDLink app open on my computer, and use it, in the OBDLink app, but not Forscan
What OBD Tether are you using. I'm up for whatever works best with Forscan. I seen a couple videos on youtube and they recommended the OBDLink. I just want it to work
