Confirmed - I had to write all the values in order for it to take, but the only change was 5553 from 5753. I now have the "US" radio format and US format speed signs again. I did find out this is definitely the "navigation in motion" change - when it was swapped I was able to search for a navigation destination while moving.
Little update: I copied your configuration and while the climate button was on the screen, none of the buttons on it worked. Also my TCS Off button stopped working, diff wouldn't lock, vents only blew defrost, etc, so I changed it back and looked at the F-150 spreadsheet to narrow down exactly what needed to be changed.

The only 2 values I changed from my config were

7D0-01-02
xxxx x8xx xxxx (the last two are a checksum in hex, I just added 8 to the current value as my previous value in the sixth position was 0)

7D0-04-01
xxxx xx0x xxxx (last two are a checksum again, mine changed from 9C to 1C)

Your authorized dealer will install. Got mine at Sno Valley in El Monte. Cheapest I could find in my area. Ask for Stephanie.
Thanks for the info.... I am looking at them now on their website.

I had to write the entire APIM module in order for it to take. I have a 2 in the position where you have an 8 in 7D0-01-02. Do you have the 501a package on your Lariat? The Climate screen is functional on mine with that setting with Sync 3.4. If/when the official 3.4 comes out, I will most likely use that in order to fix any oddities that @UofMEngineer said might occur with the unofficial release.

I do have a 501a Lariat, which is why I was surprised your configuration didn't work. According to the F-150 sheet, these are the differences in the values.

I used 8 because it changed my original value of 0 from MMI Disabled to Enabled without changing anything else.

That is bizarre.... Thus far everything seems to work fine on mine - knock on wood....

Based on 5,000 miles of testing I've picked up virtually nothing but condensation on the boost/breather side. Switched back to PVC only for the catch can.

Tailgate lock. Good luck stealing the tailgate. Prevents the tailgate from lifting off the hinge. Pretty thick gauge steel. McGard under contract to Ford. Just like the DeeZee tailgate dampener. You won't see them outside of Ford till the contract is over. VKB3Z-18168-A

Just painting the rotors and what not? or new beefier breaks? Always following what you up too...

Just replaced the rotors and painted the calipers to match.

Is been a while since I've done anything new. I'm either waiting on the intercooler or doing research for a project done may want to do too. In the meantime, I have this little decision to make. Trying to decide whether I use this Ecobeast emblem or not. I didn't realize it was that big because it's meant for the F-150's. If I do I'll probably black out the chrome part.
