FORScan Modifications

[FirstRanger]

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?

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......

so here is a copy and paste of Forscan text, also a screen shot. My question is- if i only want to toggle off or on certain OEM features (kill all horn honks, enable Bambi mode, adjust my speedometer, kill the fake engine noise etc) do these items require the extended license ? in other words are they considered module configuration,AS BUILT, central config or module reset /config? I do not mind buying license if i have to but i don't want to waste the money if i do not need it. I ordered the module off Amazon, should arrive soon, i have yet to download the windows software.

Service -> PATS Programming
Configuration and Programming -> Module Configuration
Configuration and Programming -> Module Configuration(AS BUILT format)
Configuration and Programming -> Central Configuration
Configuration and Programming -> Module Reset/Configuration (required to learn central configuration changes related to these modules)

All the rest functions do not require an Extended License!

Basically, if you want to make any changes such as those you mentioned you need an extended license. Without the extended license about all your can do is check and reset error codes that turn on the check engine light.

You can sign up for a free 2 month extended license or you can buy longer ones. Your choice, but we'll worth it. Cheap and support continued development.

And the license is NOT tied to your truck so you can use it on any Ford vehicle.

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...

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

 

[FirstRanger]

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" .

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