Suspect the European vs US signs is a module firmware thing between MY2019 and MY2020. You made the same changes I did in Forscan.
I enabled Traffic Recognition this w/e and have NA signs. Mines a 2020... (Canada) Sign Flashes when you go over the "overage set point"

I haven't tried with Google Maps attached running Android Auto yet tho...

Just ordered my ELM 327 adapter and getting ready to dive into FORScan.

I believe I read somewhere in this forum that adaptive cruise was possible through FORScan, a quick search only found one post in this thread.

Is this possible??

Also, there's plenty of YouTube vids out there to help noobs like me.

You'll still need the actual sensor for it to work.

On the Lariat I’ve got the lane sensing camera but not a sensor in the middle below the grill like your picture.
I suppose that could be added and the wiring is around there somewhere.
Correct
THIS - if you have you already have it!

I have same, no adaptive cruise. Its been discussed on here, not sure if its possible to add. Seems I recall the answer was no, but maybe someone has taken another look.

Read up on forscan.org. The ELM 327 is no longer recommended. Still works for some though so who knows.

Well it would be my luck to get a faulty adapter and I wouldn’t know whether it’s me, the truck, the program or the adapter.

Is this one here, mentioned in the first post, still a trustworthy buy??

I initially tried the ELM 327 but it only partially worked on my 2021 Ranger. Returned it to Amazon and got the OBDLink EX which worked.

That's the one. Works great for me!
x2 I have that one
X3 works great for me.

On another note, I saw a setting somewhere in ForScan about the fuel system prime on drivers door opening. has anyone ever tried modifying it?

EDIT: I seem to be seeing more fuel in the oil and was wondering if disabling that feature has been tried by anyone?

I have seen some people complain about it. It's just the pump in the tank pressurizing the line from the tank to the High Pressure Fuel Pump on the engine, which is driven by the cam shaft. Would not think it would contribute to fuel in oil.

I did try modifying this setting previously. It did not change the door-based behavior.

Have we covered if its possible to adjust the speed that the auto high beams come on? I think its around 32 mph and turns back off at 26. I would prefer it to be more like turn on at 25 and turn off under 20. My fiancee's CX5 activates the auto high beams at lower speeds and I like it way more.
