Default FORScan in Edmonton area

Hello all, I'm looking for someone in the Edmonton area that can adjust some settings with FORScan for me. I am willing to pay for your time. 2016 Lariat. Looking for the basics: double honk removal, Lincoln mirrors, heated seat icon added to screen.
please let me know if you can help

If you don't find anybody, it's really not that tough, just takes a little time. $35 on amazon for the device + a little bit of reading and you're golden.

I'm in Toronto, otherwise I'd help out!

Thank you. I may have to go that route. Any idea on what I should buy from amazon? Is there a particular one that is currently recommended?

I like the OBDLink SX USB with this mod: https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8510

You never have to worry about the wireless connection flakeing out mid-operation.

No need to wireless to be honest. You hook up, change your settings, and that’s it.

yupp, it’s got a USB port so that’s all you’ll need. There’s a great tutorial in the FORScan thread.

It it is a little bit of work, but it’s totally worth it.
