Your after pic does not show a street name like the before pic. I would not expect a speed limit to display unless the system is also displaying the street/location and nav knows the speed limit. So, I can’t see how the two compare......

in this right upper corner no speed sign.

if there was a way to keep the recirc air going, that would be super..

That it would..

Has anyone noticed the Trailer Brake Control Module under the IPC? I was poking around the other modules after turning off the engine noise in the ACM. The trailer brake control module is disabled in my IPC, I do have a Ford OEM Redarc w/ the emergency braking addon that I installed, but it had no instructions on a forscan modification, and I have yet to hear anyone on here making a forscan change w/ the brake controller. I haven't towed anything yet, but my Redarc does glow blue if I hit the button.

Any ideas if it needs to be enabled or not? I don't have a trailer handy right now to test it enabled/disabled.

It does not. That is a left over from the F150 which can have an integrated break controller. Has nothing to do with our current Rangers. Your brake controller will work just fine.

Good stuff, I figured as much. Thanks!

Anyone know which module this is in? Is it apim and can the seat heaters be added to lariat screen?

I beleive this was fixed with the latest SYNC update? I'm not 100% sure, but I did get climate controls back...

Lets try this again!! When I made the mod for traffic sign recognition to show speed limits, it took the speed limit sign off of the navigation on the right side (See pic below) of my dash. Can you get both to show up?

Before

After

I missed it, how did you do this in the first place? Top One.

A question,
I have a 2015 XLT, I have enabled the traffic sign recognition in the ipc.
But I don't have the ipma option on my forscan. Does this need to be enabled or am I doing something wrong

That's not my pic, but that's what use to show up if you put a address in to navigation. Now everything the same except for the speed limit "circled in red" .

Anyone know if you can have your DRLs stay bright with your headlights on? Our units overseas dim when you turn your light on.

looking for tire size setting is it on the spread sheet ?

You can modify the tire size directly in the GUI now. I have had mixed results with using that over using the forscan tire size calculator and editing the HEX manually.

Since I couldn't find the circumference for my actual tire size I plugged in generic circumference and drove by one of those signs that tell you your speed. It was a bit high. So I divided the numbers and got a percentage to multiply the original number. Used that and it's dead on on the second try.

I like your process, but choice of tools (the radar speed sign) may be questionable as to its accuracy.
I was going to suggest GPS, but same question would apply. But would be interesting for you to compare.
