Has anyone been able to connect Forscan on MY23? Unable to identify vehicle message.

Tried connecting to a MY23 today and got the above message. Did a search on this forum and couldn't find any posts regarding. Thanks for any positive replies.

Just a thought, are you on the current version. 2.3.50. I'm not sure if this will help,

Send your logs back to the Forscan guys and they just need to update their database most likely.

Send me your VIN in a PM and I will decode your build data and provide the strategy number it's asking. Please make sure all OTA updates are installed first.

Edit: Update OBDLink drivers as well. v2.3.50 and the beta v.51 software given to me would NOT work.

i’m just saying it sucks that your Forscan won’t accept the 2023 unit yet.

GateWay is new in 23.. It wont identify until Forscan adds it. Hope they can.

Im fairly sure they will. The Forscan devs are amazing. Truly. I know Ford has been wanting to lock it down though since the Gateway has some much control They dont want people poking around in there. So there is a chance at some point they will start to encrypt comms.

I do not know that will be in the 23 but I know the gateway is new. So they will have to get the logs.

Just have to wait and see.

Was Forscan originally developed/used for Ford dealers/techs? Was it the predecessor of FDRS? Or was it always intended for aftermarket use?

Well, I hope it gets figured out soon as I already have a plethora of parts gathered to add a heated steering wheel to my 23 when it gets delivered, and I will need Forscan to program the SCCM and HVAC modules.

I sent OP what he needed to get into Forscan. 2023 doesn't have as many module configurations or "easy mode" it's mostly as built data configuration.

Once Ford fully switches to FNV architecture, Forscan and any other program to modify functions would be useless

I have seen reports that the beta version works on ‘23s. Can’t personally confirm since I have a 21.

DO NOT attempt the module firmware updates or other “extended“ features in beta as a novice user. You have been warned!
