FORScan Modifications

[Bproctor]

No worries, these forums have given me the next best thing. With my sync 3.4 upgrade, I can at least get my nave on the right digital display behind the steering wheel.

Does your NAV on the right side of the center dash screen work properly with MAPs? Mine shows 0.0KM and 0:00 Time at the top, but the turns are correct. It works as it should while using the stock navigation.

No, mine is similar to yours. I think it shows difference in KM, but the time is still 0:00. The turns are accurate though and given in miles.

Do you get navigation on the right IPC screen with CarPlay or Android auto?

Thanks, I will run the setup today and let you know if I get US signs.

Nope, I have the European circle on my display.

It is on the right for Android Auto. I have only tried Carplay in my wife's '19 Edge (sync 3.4) and it does not work.

I think I may have found the switch in Forscan to disable "Fake Engine Noise". It is in the ACM module as-built:
727-01-01 xxxx - x*xx - xxxx, Reduce the number in * by 2, If it was an A like mine was enter 8. If 3 make it 1.

Seemed to make a difference but it is hard for me to tell with my bad hearing and hearing aids. Need someone who notices the fake noise to try and verify. Personally I don't really mind if it's there or not. Just thought I'd pass it on to try. Didn't seem to mess anything else up.

I added that a while back and it works fine. Seems to come on when the temp is under 39 or 40. I've had no issues with my clock after making the change.

I just enabled frost alrt function thru Forscan. Where does the indication of warning appear on the dash ? Sure seems odd that Ford would not have enabled this feature.

I *think* it appears in the lower portion of the center screen on the Lariat, but I may be wrong about that. I enabled mine shortly after I bought the truck (in March) and it was cold enough here to see it show up like twice. It was not hard to find, and I noticed it immediately.

This is the first vehicle I've ever owned with a frost telltale - it's purpose is just to let you know that there is a possibility of frosty/icy conditions, right? (it seems it turns on when the outdoor temp gets below something near freezing ... like 36ºF or something.

It has been quite a while since I saw it, and I don't see it too often here - we don't get below 40 in the winter too much. But from what I remember, that sounds right and I believe it shows up anytime it is under 40 (I distinctly remember seeing it when it turned 39). It isn't hard to see for sure.

The traffic sign reading seems to be an active feature for the Australian market. It looks like the Ranger also has Active Parking Aissist.

The Traffic Sign feature is nice which someone has already found out how to activate. What about the Semi Auto Park Assist? Not that I would want it personally but is it Forscan possible?

It'd be nice if they had included it on the NA ranger, but even if we found the correct code to turn it on, it wouldn't work. Ford's semi-assist parking has to be activated via a push button that is typically located near the shifter.

Since ours lacks this button, and likely the harness is different as well so even if the button were added in, there would be nothing to connect it to.

Has Anyone verified this? I would have thought more people would have been inclined to know. I personally would like to eliminate the fake engine sound. Will have to check next time I fire up Forscan.

I have never heard any fake engine sound track that I know of. Which speaker(s) does it come out of?
I can hear my exhaust note in the cab since I installed a Flowmaster 40 Series muffler though. Maybe even a little too much.

I have not seen anyone come back and verify this yet. I personally don't mind it if it is even there. Some people swear it is there and some question if it is or not. I know there has been a lot of discussion about it and how to turn it off. Found this switch in the F150 spreadsheet and passed it for someone who says the here and hate it to try

Again I don't really notice it or at least am not annoyed by it. some have said front door speakers, some say if they have added a sub they hear it from there.

I tapped into the door speakers for my sub and there's nothing there.

The mystery continues, AKA "Do We Have Ghosts" ?
