FORScan Modifications

[j0shm1lls]

Now you must tell us how to get to this menu.

lol... I was waiting for someone to ask. Hold the channel scan right arrow on the steering wheel and the channel scan right button on the center stack at the same time for a few seconds. You'll hear the speaker test start if successful. Test menu is where you can switch between themes.

EDIT: also for those changing their antennae to shortys, you can see how much your signal drops off after the switch using the hidden menus.

My buddy at the dealer says not to mess with anything related to the ACM. Changing the start up screen is in the ACM. If they plug into the system it will show it's modified. Not so much the other modules in the car unless they are looking directly at one you've changed. That could be a warranty issue.

I don't have the truck yet but it should either have the auto fold in the settings menu and if not it should be able to be enabled with Forscan. I installed power folding mirrors in my Fusion and enabled all of that.

I didn't come across that option in my Lariat.

You can just save your as "as built" data before you do any mods and then revert back to stock before you take it into the dealer.

I'll start messing with some of the normal stuff and see what you can and can't enable with out manually changing the as built data tonight.

I was thinking the same. Just checked the forscan forums and it looks like some of the guys from here are having trouble even connecting to the truck, something about VIN not recognized...

And you won't find it as it's not enabled in this market. I'm hoping to enable that option, and Global windows.

EDIT: I'm in the forscan forum, I ordered my ELM two or three days ago, should be here tomorrow.
This one, I'll let everyone know if it works.

Yep it was yours

Looks like it is still a no go on the Forescan. We need the smart people over at Forescan to get on the ball. I have perfectly good modules I want to screw up!

Weird, mine connects to my truck no problem. I just hooked it up to see if it would connect but I haven’t attempted to make any changes yet.

 

[FX4Offroad]

Also looking to see if auto wipers could be enabled similar to this.

Wouldn't you need the rain sensor to make this happen?

Things that really piss me off about my past Fords that they probably wont change on the Ranger. 1.) The double honk when you get out of your car with the engine running and close the door. Really annoying when you want to be quiet or people at a gas station look at you like what the hell is his problem. 2.) The extra swipe of the wipers when your windshield is clean and then it smears it all with that extra wipe. Wish I could eliminate those two items.

In my F150, number 2 can be turned off on the settings.

Yes. It's called Courtesy Wipe and it can be disabled through the "productivity" menu in the Ranger.
