Agreed, and part of their reasoning has to be liability, but that's a whole different topic. I'm not an electrical engineer, and I never wrote the software, but I am somewhat familiar with PLC programs used to control coil processing lines. One thing I do know is when end users made changes without discussing it with our (OEM) engineers, unintended consequences could make things go sideways in a hurry. I'm not trying to be an alarmist because it's apples to oranges, but unintended consequences with heavy machinery can be deadly. I'm also not hating on anybody for using Forscan, just explaining one of the reasons why I'm still on the fence about it. I guess you could say I'm too chicken to change programming without some OEM blessing.
forscan does not change pyrographing...it enables , disables , or selects features/options. turn this light off instead of on, radio plays for X seconds on key off vs Y seconds, charge battery to 90% instead of 80%, put the DPF on the display or not, etc. no programing is being changed.
