Confirmed FDRS does not provide a drop down selection for ODBLink EX, but it does for the Mongoose-Plus.
I bought the Mongoose-Plus and a 2 day FDRS license to program the stick on RF keypad. Took less thank 5 minutes to program with FDRS. I noticed FDRS leaves an evidence trail in the...
Short term remedy is a drain line, and software update to detect leaking
injectors and either put vehicle in limp mode or disable to fuel pump.
Who knows when or even if they come up with a more permanent solution.
Perhaps they will offer a gasoline vapor detector...
I'll try FORScan. I'm not paying $1600 for a Ford VCM3.
The VNCI VCM3 says it is compatible with FDRS.

Anyone have any suggestions?
Glad he is OK and she was appended. It's sad we live in a society where things like this happen.
I will not drive on public roads without a Wolfbox installed in my vehicles.
I thought I read the short term "solution" was a software update to detect leaking injectors until parts are available. I assume it is some sort of fuel rail pressure leak down test. Then it will be a get in line to replace the parts under warranty, similar to the Takata airbag situation.

I have read some people put it on the inside of the fuel filler door.
Just make sure it does not interfere with the cap-less fuel fill seal on the door, causing EVAP codes.
I think that was for a wired keypad, which apparently can be done with FORScan.
I have not read anywhere of anyone successfully programming the wireless stick on keypad using FORScan.
Wirelessly. Basically like a fob

The receiver module is usually under the dash on the passenger side.
I have noticed a number of differences in the '25 wiring from '21-'24. I suspect the pigtail in the LHS door was deleted for '25, thus eliminating ability to install a '21-'24 b-pillar illuminated keypad.

Ford was already #1 in '25 recalls. Now Ford aims to extend that margin to make sure no one else can take the lead.
Meanwhile Ford stock hasn't done [redacted] in over 2 decades.

Henry Ford insisted on controlling everything from raw materials to finished products.
Now US automakers are forced to outsource everything (in some cases design) and place extreme pressure on suppliers to cut costs.
"Good, fast, cheap" You can only pick two.
Ford is apparently #1 at something.

I bought an OEM full size spare, jack, and hold down from a breakers yard.
My '25 came with the inflater, fuel fill, and tow eye bolt in a foam insert in the wheel well. Now I have no place to store them. :sadface:
You have the latest FORScan version 2.3.66?
I had the same probem initially on my '25. I think there was a button to send a report to the developers. Three days later, they released a new version including more '25 vehicles. I have a paid subscription.
