FORScan Modifications

Just disabled fake engine noise and enabled ANC. Do we know if ANC actually works with my XLT?

It does have a mic for making calls.

What’s the ANC mic then?

Should be mics around the cabin that listen and inform the ANC system on what signal to produce.

I cannot detect the "engine sound enhancement" so I will really have to listen for it. However I did a master reset in the dash settings a few times trying to get my Sync to update to Ford and in doing so picked up a "RPM wine" through the speakers that was not there before. Also not to jsck this thread but the master reset kept my radio station selections which I thought it would clear out...

PS - I want the V8 sound they have in the F-150, my loaner sounded pretty badass (inside the cab) LOL

I did a few forscan mods today and I came away with more questions lol. It's one thing to read these threads when you haven't used forscan, quite another one you've used it a bit.

1. There are a lot of options for active noise canceling. All are showing disabled. Do any of those actually work? I have the 2019 XLT.

2. HD radio is showing as disabled. Does enabling that work?

ANC I don’t believe existed in 2019, and I’m almost sure not in the xlt.

the hd radio does not work because the hardware is not installed, and it’s almost impossible to acquire inexpensively.

Welp, it wasn't pretty fellas, but even a complete computer illiterate buffoon, (such as myself) was actually able to tweak several mods within FORScan to my Ranger. Besides the Bambi mod, BMS increase from 70% to 95% and several others, I really liked the other Splash Screen options better than the original version. Although the Aviator and Navigator screens are much better, they both got edged out by the Bronco animation selection. I only wished there was some sort of option to change the completely bland and thoroughly uninspiring Radio Screen that we now have since the latest SYNC update.. Oh? You don't like Blue? How bout MORE BLUE?.. I mean, (IMHO) even my wife's sissified CRV has a much more appealing look to its radio than the Ranger with its nature backgrounds and such. - Forgive me, but unless I've somehow missed something, (which is entirely possible), I haven't been able to identify one single thing that is an improvement to the previous SYNC version which came with my truck.... Anybody??

I liked the colors of the Lincoln screens, just didn't like that it had Lincoln logo on it. If I could have figured a way to have t h e Ford logo, I would have kept it on.

I used Forscan to change the "Brand" to Lincoln and run the Lincoln color schemes with the Raptor splash screen. That way I got rid of the blue. Also like the design of the Lincoln screen controls. I also run the screen in night mode all the time. More color choices would be nice but I can live with this.

Interesting. I've been using the Raptor splash screen and use night mode permanently for as long as I've had my truck, but haven't tried the Lincoln colors. I need to look into this.

Their colors are more brown/grey.

I am going to have to try this, I also use the raptor screen in night mode, but the blue is just to much.... blue.
