2026 Ford Explorer not recognized.

Post by deanot26508 »

I just tried to use Forscan on my 2026 Ford Explorer, but it tries to connect and then says something about the vehicle is not recognized, and I should contact the developer.

This car is literally a week old, Explorer ST-Line. I want to disable the auto stop start BS and take away the seat belt warning. There is no tune on it, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong, if anything, or this setup is completely different from the 2025 model?

I bought a license for this, I probably should have checked on if this works with the vehicle, but I could not see why the module would be so different.

I cant answer that question but I'm sure someone else posted the same on here recently and got it all done. If you can find their thread on the forum it may contain the answer you need.
It was last few days so should be page one of whichever forum section it's in.

No worries.
Cant remember which section it was but I'm sure it was just a day or so ago so can't be far down the list. The search function isn't always that smart.

It seems you can make a request to forscan support to have it added. Just use the contact us via the forum or webpage forscan.org. You may need to send the debug files to them.

I tried looking for the post, but can't locate it. I am bouncing around, too, trying to update my laptop that keeps blue screening on me! What a day.
Thanks again for that link, I will submit a request.
