Can I get a little help...and yes I've read this thread but I'm still stuck! I just installed the Diode Dynamic Switchback in the from turns. I have a Lariat and I am stuck in Forescan trying to get the DRL and the Switchbacks on (in white) at the same time. Thanks!!

I installed switchbacks in mine about a month ago and ran into this same issue. Never could get it to light up the white channel, only the yellow lights would power on with the DRL's. I figured that it must be because the Lariat has a dedicated LED DRL's and is probably wired differently than the other models. Or there is a different module code that needs to be changed to allow for this. Ultimately I said screw it and gave up and put the yellow LED's back in which I like better anyway. The switchbacks were significantly dimmer than the all yellow ones. Cause I want that idiot wanting to go straight from a turn only lane to know I am wanting to turn (especially at nigh) by flooding his car with a blinking amber light from my turn signal indicator...

For anybody who made the change to show the speed limit signs you can also activate a chime if you go over the limit you have set. It's under chimes in the IPC module. Just enable it. I forget the exact wording but it is obvious which one it is. Also adds a "chime" check box to the setup screen so you can turn it off or on. Tested today and it chimes once every time you go over your set limit. If I have time later I will try to post pics.

Anyone a guru here that can walk a noob through some simple changes for example, Bambi mode? I tried and failed but think with someone talking me through it I would be ok after completing a change. I attempted the change for Bambi mode, hit write, and it did not take effect.
I had problem too when I first tried and learned that I need to have engine running for it to write

Not true. You do not run the engine for any forscan changes. Only ignition on when it tells you to.

Does anyone have a guide on how to get started? I am not computer savvy and don’t know what to do after I connect my computer and open the app with successful connection.

There's nothing really available for 2020 Rangers yet. All of the codes are for 2019 Rangers, or F150s

Aren’t’19’s and ‘20’s the same?

Other than a few deletes that I know of - rear folding headrests, hot pepper paint, and in-stream changes of coolant and tie-downs, pretty sure these are one and the same?

So far as I've heard the 2019 codes all work for 2020 models. A Lot of the F150 codes don't work so be careful if you experiment. Backup - Backup - Backup!!
