Unless if you are Eric, in which case I'm talking about you.
I was going to try it on my truck when the snow melts which at this years rate will be in July. I now have a 2017 with tow mirrors and a few guys up here at a Ford dealer have mentioned that door modules in 2017 are different than 2015 & 2016 but I haven't confirmed.

Has anyone successfully used ForScan.exe running on VMware (or any virtual machine) within OS X?
I agree bootcamp in theory should be the better way to go, but I haven't tried either. My mac mini isn't exactly mobile enough to experiment with. I just wanted to sort it out for others.

I was using Parallels and XP3 on my MacBook until I bought a cheap W7 laptop a couple months ago.
Had to use the bluetooth within Parallels to connect to the obdII device.

maybe I'm using it wrong then. If I select a mirror and put it in reverse, it does tilt down to the saved position. Is that how it is supposed to work? Last vehicle that I had tilt mirrors in did it without selecting a mirror(though only the passenger mirror tilted). If that's the case,

Yup, that's how it works. Just need to tap one or both mirror buttons just before OR after shifting into reverse. I like it this way, since when parallel parking I like the mirror down so I can see the curb & get within inches of it, but don't want it to tilt down if backing into say a spot in a parking garage.

This is only for trucks that shipped with remote tailgate release from the factory. Since I added the value to disable it, I also added the value to enable it.
