Been lurking in this thread for a while. Finally got a HS/MS adapter on Amazon for $40, a pair of remote start keys for $29 and went to work with my extended version of Forscan.
I only had one key previously so I went through the entire erase and reprogram procedure, (after checking to make sure the keys were programmable) now I have my key and two spare keys and was able to finally get rid of that dang MyKey crap.
Then I went and turned on remote start. I don’t have the antenna yet (in the mail) but it still worked! I can start from about 30 feet away which is good enough for right now.
With some already gleaned info from this thread, I was able to active the RS menu on my IDC as well.
I am SUPER excited at all I’ve been able to do so far. I plan on doing several mods from here and now have a way to do it without involving a dealer! This is well worth the small investment I’ve made so far. I have remote start and three keys and have only spent $110 (including the antenna). The dealer would want more than that just for the programming!

I can verify that Forscan is great. I did multiple changes and they all took. It was great being able to pair my phone while running at 70mph. Just got the 14 King Ranch a month ago and already changed everything to led. Turned off the bulb warning and all flash right. Fogs are DRL's now.
Now can we figure out how to raise the speed at which the backup camera shuts down when camera delay is active. I would love to be able to run 30 or 40 before it shuts it down. I also read on a forum somewhere that using mykey you could bypass the speed limiter. That's complete and utter BS. I would love to turn off the speed limiter, but I don't think its going to be in Forscan's abilities. Too bad we cant get the global windows to work on the 09-thru14's also.

Bambi mode makes a big difference. Your brights will light up far and the fogs light up close. At least I thought it was really nice to have the ground in front of me on trails lit. I also have the led liteway(Amazon) fog lights.

I used the spreadsheet. Bambi mode is turned on. I think it was 5753 or something like that for the bluetooth and pairing while moving. What jdunk54nl said.Bambi mode is making a difference at the moment. After I change the fogs to LED spots and aim them properly they will act as low beams on with high beams on.

I just use the Advanced Search feature and do a search that involves multiple terms and it seems to work although it is not a perfect way to get an answer.
Im not speaking of starting a new thread, I mean an entire section dedicated to ForScan where we can have multiple threads about ForScan specific questions pertaining to the F150.
Its not something I can do the forum administrators would have to create a new section for it
