Engineered for Professional Workshop Demands
The Ford FORScan Bluetooth (HS/MS-CAN Switchli PIC18F25K80) is built to deliver speed, accuracy, and stability in busy service bays.
Why an HS-CAN / MS-CAN Switch Is Essential for Ford Coding
Standard OBD2 adapters only read the HS-CAN (engine/ABS) bus. On Ford vehicles, most hidden features—such as door locks, lighting, instrument cluster menus, and climate controls—reside on the medium-speed MS-CAN bus. The built-in toggle switch bridges both networks effortlessly.
Authentic Microchip PIC18F25K80 Microcontroller
FORScan blocks low-quality clone chips due to timing errors. Our interface uses a genuine PIC18F25K80 processor that reliably reads and writes As-Built and Central Configuration blocks.
Wireless Bluetooth Convenience (Pairing PIN: 1234)
Plug the compact adapter into your OBD2 socket and pair wirelessly with your Windows laptop using code '1234'—no tangled cables inside the cabin.
Safe Customization & Configuration Backup
When used properly, enables factory features without harming vehicle electronics. FORScan allows you to save a full backup of your original module parameters before applying changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Key technical questions from technicians and workshops about the Ford FORScan Bluetooth (HS/MS-CAN Switchli PIC18F25K80).
What does the HS-CAN / MS-CAN switch do?
Ford vehicles use two separate CAN buses: HS-CAN for engine/ABS and MS-CAN for body, cluster, and comfort modules. The toggle switch allows the adapter to access both networks so you can configure hidden features.
Which hidden features can I activate?
Depending on your vehicle model and hardware trim, you can enable Hill Start Assist, Cruise Control, speed auto-lock, TPMS/DDS tire pressure display, fog lights, global windows, EcoMode, cluster radio display, and AUX input.
How do I get the FORScan Extended License?
While basic diagnostics work on the standard version, module configuration requires an Extended License. You can obtain a free 2-month trial (or paid license) directly from forscan.org using your Hardware ID.
Can I code hidden features from a smartphone?
While the hardware works with Windows and Android (no iOS support), hidden feature coding requires a Windows PC running FORScan for Windows. Our company provides software links and support exclusively for Windows.
What is the Bluetooth pairing code?
Plug the adapter into the OBD2 port, turn on the ignition, search in Windows Bluetooth settings, and pair using PIN '1234'.
Is feature activation safe for my vehicle?
Yes, when properly enabling factory-supported parameters. Always save a backup of your original module configuration inside FORScan before making edits.
