Anyone use the FORScan software before?

I played with this setting today and got it to turn on the screen looking for the camera. So success on part one. Now I just need to install a camera. I'll keep you posted. I'm pretty sure I have the setting correct as I now get a "no camera" type of message when I put it into reverse.

This is probably the easiest if you have a AP. Just use the cord from that and get a $5 female micro usb to male usb adapter off of amazon.
**I am not sure what I was thinking. I was looking at the AP cable last night, for some reason I thought it was a micro usb, but sadly it isn't. I guess that will teach me to double check before posting.**

nice! I've seen a couple pictures of the OEM camera on EU Fiestas, if someone has already verified part numbers to do this post them up. So far I found D2BZ19G490C camera module, some trim bracket that I'm not even sure is for the hatchbacks D2BZ19H421A, and then a way cheaper camera module for the sedans D2BZ19G490D. I found some discussion on a focus forum and there is apparently some control module needed for those cars.
knowing precious little about how much these fords can be reprogrammed, here are some things to add to the wish list:
- removal of a lot of the notification dings since they are maddening and often come with no actual information. Stuff like if you start the engine before latching your seatbelt.
- sport mode on the stability control by default. If you have the stratified/cobb spark-based traction control gotta turn off the aggressive ford tcs.
- programming for plug and play support of the euro projector and LED DRL headlamps (heard somewhere this might be possible). I think most have wired the DRLs as parking lights but it would be cool for them to work 100% as they do from the factory in Europe. I'm guessing they do things like shut off the DRL when the turn signal is on (I know Focuses and most other cars these days do it).
- shift light on/off/adjustment? I know cobb pro tuners can do this, but unsure if aftermarket tunes would then overwrite this setting
- audio things? Have seen complaints about the stock stereo cutting bass at higher volume levels, which sounds like it would mess with any speaker level inputs on aftermarket subwoofers.
I'm definitely gonna poke around in forscan a bit when I'm back to the car later this week.

I'm wondering if there is a tool that can just back up the ECU to a file and then flash a file back to the ECU. It's what I'm used to with my Evo. Is this something Forscan can do? From what I can tell, the AP just flashes it's own and doesn't have the capacity to save to a file and then flash from any saved file.

well I ordered my ODB2 cable and a A5 Nav card. My rear view camera still hasn't come in yet, so maybe next weekend. I guess it is a good thing cause I had my hands full installing motor mounts, changing tranny fluid and installing a rear view mirror with homelink. If anything I will have the Nav up soon.
