Do I REALLY need FORScan?

So I've got a 2020 F250 scsb xl with the 7.3 and am new to this forum. I haven't done a lot of research but from what I've gathered I need a windows computer to use forscan. Ive got a Mac and am not interested in doing bootcamp and all that, as the less I have to mess with technology the better. All I want to do it turn off the chime when the door is open and key is in ignition before my head explodes, not to be dramatic. And adjust for a new tire size, 33.9". If forscan is the only way to do this do I really need to do it myself, or can I find someone who knows what they're doing and have them do it with their forscan? or not use forscan altogether if there is another way? thank you all in advance.

Welcome to the forum...You dont need to use Forscan unless you want to make some changes. If you post your location, members have been known to help other members with making changes to their truck using their equipment

The dealer can do it. The problem i’ve found is most won’t so we resort to ForScan so we can do it ourselves.
