I was playing around with the button at lunch, I think this might be a case of needing to physically press the button to actuate a relay, no software involved. The reason I say that is that there is a clear delineation between folded and unfolded, there's a depressed and raised setting on the actual button. If I remember correctly in my Raptor, it was a momentary press of a button that triggered the fold or unfold. I hope I'm wrong though...
I was thinking the same.. if it’s not modulated by a bmc it could be just simply run off a relay. No complicated communication involved. Which would suck but it’s not a huge loss. Kinda betting the global danger conversion didn’t get a whole module/wiring makeover.

It could lend to running a wire from the armed alarm out wire to the fold switch as a physical soultion... :sunglasses:

From a quick google search I came up with this.

"All civilian models from Base to Sport have a feature called Illuminated Entry/Exit, where the cabin, parking, and puddle lights turn on whenever you enter/exit the vehicle. As a standard, Interceptors have this feature disabled by using a feature called "Dark Car," which disables the Illuminated Entry/Exit feature--police officers do not want to draw attention to themselves whenever the lights turn on as they enter/exit the vehicle."

I should know - google is your friend - google knows all. Thanks for looking it up - it makes perfect sense.

That is correct. I prefer not to have all those lights go on. Good thing is it's selectable.

Lariat 501a. Don't recall seeing a DSP module. But I wasn't looking for it.

Hmm, you're right - I just checked my AsBuilt backups, and there's no ACM nor DSP modules. This has to be a case of Forscan just not seeing the modules yet.
