FORScan Modifications

Hooray!!!! I figured out how to do it - run parking lamps only as DRL’s. No headlights or fogs.
I tried using the option ‘Dedicated DRL’ ( which I think is for Lariats) figuring since my XLT doesn’t have them it would just cause nothing to come on and left Enable Parking as DRL and it worked.
I might down the road revert back to single white fogs and go back to including them but at least for now I don’t have to always wonder what color my fogs are as DRL’s ( just my OCD! Haha)

The front parking lights also includes the side ones too? If so, I have the raptor grill lights which I'd like to run as DRLs along with the parking lights. Out of curiosity, if you get into a daytime accident and you aren't using headlamp DRLs, could you be liable if they determine the accident could have been avoided? I can't recall if DRLs are mandatory.

Parking lights are front turn lamps, side markers, and tail lights.
No idea as to your other question. I’ve seen plenty of vehicles with no DRL’s so I’d be pretty surprised if that was ever a issue - and more so as by doing it this way you have more lighting than just 1/2 power headlights.

My Lariat from April of 2019 does not have the seat heaters icons on the screen. I guess when I finally get around to hook up and play with ForScan it will be one other thing to tweak.

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

I believe it’s the apim, and yes, they should be easy to add.

Checked apim and I don't see any code for the seat heater icons to be added to screen

I can look at mine later, but I’m pretty sure that’s where it was.

It is in APFIM -As Built
You have to edit the hex code.
Find 7D0-01-01
Change xxxx xxxx x3xx
Be sure to have a backup of as built first.

If you look in the APIM configuration and look for "Seat Button Icons" and set it to "Heated Seats". This will give the buttons on the home screen and the extra menu screen of the Climate screen.

Thanks Lee for adding that - I didn’t realize it was available there as well. Guess ‘almost’ everything can now be done through menu’s (almost!)

Yeah, there are a few that still need to be done in the As-builts, but most everything can be done in the configuration menus. Especially since Forscan added the ACM and SCCM configurations now.

Question?
When I made the mod navigation in motion to show speed limits, it took the speed limit sign off of the navigation on the right side of my dash. Can you get both to show up?

Odd, this didn't work. Still no icons

 

[Big Blue]

What items are on the extra menu screen ?

Mine has the seat buttons, max air and max defrost. There maybe others depend on model and options.

Yeah they are kind of buried there. I just use the ones on the home screen or the physical buttons.
Glad you got it to work.
