Forscan getting set up.

The OBDLink came in the mail today. Next is laptop or can I use my Android phone? What I want to do is change to Bambi mode to keep the fog lights on when high beams are on. May add to use off road on farm at night. also change other features. Can this be done on phone or must you have Windows laptop? Thanks

^^^ This. There's a step by step guide in the ForScan spreadsheet as well. As said above, you'll need a Windows laptop (or dual boot / Bootcamp Mac) to run the software.

You really need to go here

and start with the first post and read. It will explain what you need to do including how to get the extended license.
