so this has to be done on windows, iPad won't get in?

 

It would appear so. The Forscan Lite app on my iphone didn't have the option.

 

Correct, has to be the Windows app

 

I just unlocked my copy of Froscan. However, the ghost screen is not an option on my 2012. I'm guessing it's a 2015 and forward option? I did update my tire size while I was in there. It's a great system and I can't wait to use it on my 2017.

 

How big will it let you go on tire size? I have 37's and the dealer could only raise me to 34.4" or something like that. Every tuner company I have called can't go any bigger either I am told.

 

It only allowed me to select from stock sizes in a drop down menu. I went from the stock 18" size to the stock 20" a while back so it worked for me.

 

As far as I know and have read, the ghost screen is on all the 2011 and up trucks. The original thread that started this search for how to turn it on was from an owner of a 2011 truck. His truck was a Lariat and he stated he could actually perform a manual regen with his truck from the ghost screen.

 

Thanks Larry. Perhaps the wifi ELM327 I'm using is my limitation. I'll read through and find the best one and order it. Unless someone can point me to the right one first? I also have an OBD2 to Ethernet cable. I wonder if that would work?

 

I have the OBDLINK MX BT and works great. I added mine on my '13 yesterday.

I also read on the 150 forum not to use a Wifi adapter due to drops.

Also you are running Forscan 2.3.3. Beta?

 

Yes, I'm running the latest version. Thanks for the tip on the adapter. Will check it out. As to WiFi, I had to go that route initially as there was no BT option for iPhone and I wasn't using the full version of Forscan for Windows, only the iPhone app.

 

So, I just tried this with the fancy $80 BT adapter that was recommended. Same deal as my cheapie $15 wifi adapter with no exhaust filter option. Not sure what that's all about or if I should return the $80 one? Here's my screen...

 

Appears this screen if from the BCM?...you need the IPC configuration to turn o the exhaust filter...

yup..i would say return the new BT adapter if you you can. You haven't gained anything with it that the cheapy gave you.

 

Yes, in BCM module programming. What I can't figure out is, why can the OP make changes that I can't? It's not the adapter apparently....

 

Never mind! The OP's instructions were a little off or I misread them. Either way... The Exhaust filter is not in the BCM it's in the IPC. I enabled it without issue. I also tried my WIFI adapter again now that I knew where to look at while it found the option, it would not complete the change so the $80 adapter is indeed needed. Anyways, it's doable and easy with the right adapter when you look in the right place!!!

 

Is there a status on light or symbol on the screen as it's in regen? Or do you just see % numbers go down? Really like having 'regen on' light on the cts2.
