Did you install the VCI manager from the Ford site as well?

Is this a known working Mongoose? I haven’t looked but I think the Mongoose driver includes some toolbox programs you could try.
Does the Mongoose blink green when you plug it into the OBD port?

I'm not sure what to tell you, I've used my Mongoose with FORSCAN plenty of times, but I generally only use the OBDLink MX+ for that (different laptop).

I seem to remember that the Mongoose firmware can be flashed with upgraded more current RAM software... might be worth a look at the manufacturer's website. Not that I've ever done it on the Mongoose... I have done it with other dongle equipment.

Good Luck!

Sure you ordered the Ford version of the Mongoose? Where are you located? Maybe someone near you has a working one you can try. The only thing I recall installing was the Opus IVS Driver and for FORScan I just selected the mongoose on the screen below

I was just in there.

Alright, dumb question. Where did you create your account? Every link I've found either directs to motorcraft.com (which is giving an error when trying to login or create account) or I was directed to www2.helminc.com for license validation.

Which site credentials do I use to login with FDRS? Side note, neither work.

I feel like I just wasted $100 because the MotorCraft website is down.
