The one thing I'll always say is to double-check your speedo calibration. I used an external GPS module to get mine figured out, I got within 1/4-1/2mph, but the UI updates didn't match what I expected so I had to do HEX editing for that one. Everything else has been great. I'm glad to have supported them to keep improving.

Yes for sure! They've updated the interface so you only need to input your tire circumference in mm now, but when I looked up my tire specs on Nitto's site and used it to calculate what the circumference should be, my speedo is over by more than it was under after the tire upgrade. I'll just play with the % error and adjust accordingly until I get it matched up to my liking. ?

Yup, that was pretty much my issue too. I used the calculator from FORScan's site and edited the HEX codes and had no issues. I think the internal calculation in FORScan might not be correct.

Not sure if it's common knowledge but the front turn signal hyperblink (in the instrument cluster) when swapping to LED bulbs can be eliminated by setting the "Front Bulb Turn Outage" in the BdyCM to "disabled". I was about to edit the hex code as per @j0shm1lls line in the table on the first page but noticed the GUI parameter in the BdyCM before doing so. The front bulb turn outage is listed in the table as well (@RCMUSTANG) but includes no description.

I enabled to Traffic sign recognition as per the instructions on my 2021 XLT. It Didn't seem to read any signs, but I know some others were wondering what the 2 different traffic sign boxes were for and I figured it out...

The box on the right is supposed to show you the signs read by the camera (Which doesn't seem to work for me) The box on the left shows you the speed limit from Google maps (If connected). If I have android auto running it passes that speed limit info right into the cluster. Not sure if this will do the same for Apple Carplay or not....

So you are getting speed limits from Google Maps? My 2019 does not do this. I run Google Maps when I'm on a trip and have never had this happen. My speed limit sign recognition work just fine, other than showing in European style round signs. That is a 2019 thing that appears to have been corrected in 2020. I was lead to believe the left spot was for the European version of our no passing signs. Seems kind of useless to have two speed signs up in front of you.

Strange, mine is a 2021 and I have just the opposite. Google Maps when running populates the left box. the right box never seems to read any sign... (or at least it hasn't yet....)

Suspect the European vs US signs is a module firmware thing between MY2019 and MY2020. You made the same changes I did in Forscan.

Yeah I started trying to sort thru the differences in Forscan between the 2 years to see if there is a setting that can be chnaged. But it fell off my list.

So looks like I was wrong. I did some more testing without my phone connected and I indeed have the limit icon on the left box in the dash. Seems the cameras are doing their thing...

Cool....

So FP tune and forscan is a no go huh. Guess I won’t be adding TM on..

At most you'll need to flash the tune back to stock, make your forscan adjustments and then reflash your tune.

With the Ford tune it blocks forscan?

I have the FP tune on my truck (installed prior to delivery) and it had no impact on FORScan. It seems to be an issue for some and not others. I wonder if it's been happening to people that have initiated FORScan and saved a vehicle profile, and then got the tune afterwards? ?‍

Yup, same. I had tune and used FORScan with no issues except one. All changes stuck except for auto-relock. I had to manually set those values through the AS-Built.

Trying to do the changes to the IPC module & evey time I get procedure interrupted.

I’m using the OBDLink EX cable on 21 Lariat. Any tips or pointers?

Edit: I’m able to write to thr BCM no problem
Edit 2: Forgot to mention, when I write to the IPC & get the procedure interrupted the APIM throws a DTC Code: U1A00 - Private Communication Network. I'm only able to clear the DTC by rewriting the APIM module with my as-built backup.
