I happen to have a perpetual FScan license. Yeah, it's a thing... those were available for a time back in 2014 or so. Mine is still tickin', through four Ford cars our family has owned.

I mention this here in case anyone in the Northern Virginia area needs access & help... just DM me.

My trial expired on december 12th and my plan was to purchase then but life got busy. Tried last night and learned it was not an option at the moment. I tried to get another trial and need to check to see if that was approved again. I will do that when I get home.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, FORScan can be used to enable the parking sensors if you have all the right hardware in place.
Thanks for the reply. Would you check around the local truck performance shops if you were looking for a person skilled in FORScan?

Nah. I would search the forums for someone that's already done it and do it myself. The FORScan part is probably the easiest part of the process. I'm sure I can figure out how to enable it. If not, I have a few people in mind I can ask.

For anyone who was on the fence like me, requesting the two month trial key worked for me even though I had one before. Now to get any changes I need entered while I am able until the payment issue is resolved.

So I enabled glare free is there a good way to test it? I went out for a short drive, but it was hard to tell if it was truly working.
Yes, I have the green automatic lit up instead of white and yes, I double checked all my settings!
You should be good if the auto is green. If you can get on a freeway that has a jersey barrier/K rail in the center and it’s dark you should see the matrix LEDs turning on and off as cars approach you. Also you should see the right shoulder lit up nice and bright then like when you pass a truck once you pass it will light up again on right. Once you see it then you can’t unsee it. It really is amazing driving at night with glare free.

Anyone with a solution for purchasing an extended Forscan license in the US since December 18th? Any resellers that can sell this?
Until they get this payment thing figured out you should be able to just keep renewing the 2 month license. I did that for a couple years and then decided to get it for the entire year. I just renewed mine in November so at least I’ve got a year for them to figure it out. I’m happy to pay as it’s so useful. We are lucky as ford seems to be the only one that has this type of open source ability.
