Has anyone tried FORScan with a MDI?
Looks like that will work.
Also does anyone know how to download the latest IPC and GPSM files?

Forscan as you can see it can works with a simple tool ELM327 or with a Passthru J2534 tool
Gm Mdi it is a J2534 tool that's why is working
Ids is diffren't
Good luck

I tried it with my Bluetooth ELM327, I added the MSCAN switch and it works great.
It's good for reading but I don't trust writing the firmware.
I got all my Strategy & Calibration version #s. Now I want to update.
How do I find out the latest Strategy & Calibration version for the hardware I have?
I know where to download the files from: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdirs/wds/PCMReprogram/DSFM_PCMReprogram.asp?swproduct=IDS

Well I suppose that you need an account/subscription
But if you know what exacly calibration you need you can download it from motorcraft.com
Good luck
