FORScan forum

Hello!

I am new to these forums, and to Forscan, so I hope it's OK to post this.

I live in Canada, and just recently purchased a 2018 C-Max Titanium, to replace my 2013 C-Max SEL which I'll be selling soon.
Both cars use wireless PATS keys, and when I discovered Forscan I got very excited at the idea that I might be able to program my own.
So I ordered a couple of spare keys, and the recommended OBDLink EX, and installed a trial license of Forscan.

Unfortunately, although I see the PATS module in my 2013 C-Max, I don't in my 2018 - so I guess the modules are different, and the new one is not implemented yet.

I read that one can request the implementation of a new module, so I would like to request that one - but more than that, if there's a way I could assist with the creation of it - by providing logs, info, etc - I am happy to offer any help I can.
Also - rather than asking people to do things for me for free, I prefer to offer something in return, so - is there a way I can offer a bounty or something for adding the PATS module for my car? Is this something that can be done?

Thanks in advance!

please do a quick search , it will say anything after about 2015 can NOT be done and has to be taken to a aurthorised partner or a ford dealer as from 2015 the coding was changed and then again from around 2017 it was changed again to online access only for pats.

Hi Andy,

That's rather disappointing news.

I have already done many searches, both quick and slow, about programming PATS keys, and haven't yet come across anything that says that; could you give me a pointer?

Thanks
