I turned on the off road screen for showing incline an hillside degrees of the angle. I don't have the fx4 package. I think I just threw away the cheat sheet I used. I displayed the screen once after activating it but I didn't drive it so I don't know if it actually displays any real data.
I've used it pretty regularly on my non-FX4 truck, it does work by showing the appropriate information, which is really helpful offroad.

Setup it up this morning and I have the NA signs. Yes it does flash when you go over your tolerance setting. I have a 2020 XLT Sport with the 301A package.

Can you confirm your software version? You can do this in Engineer Mode... I wonder if this is what is causing 2019 models to display the Euro type Sign and the 2020 up to display US signs.


#1 Hold the left steering wheel center ok button down.
#2 Turn accessory power on (do not start).
#3 You'll see ET appear on gauge cluster.
#4 Press ok.
#5 Engineering screen will appear.
#6 Arrow through and you will see Software Version.

My 2019 XLT FX4 shows exactly the same software and has the European style signs.

I don't have a 2020, but on my 2021 (Feb. 2021 build I think) I have the following:
Software Version 02.16.e11
2020/07/02
UP375 M1 NA MY 2019

I haven't tried the signage setting in Forscan yet (it appeared it might mess up the adaptive cruise so I was holding off).

Just curious how long it takes before they email you back to unlock your forescan for the trial?

At least the engine noise removal has already been found. It's been posted on the wiki :)

Look for "Software Engine Sound Enhancement" - just use the recent FORScan build and enjoy a quieter cabin.
So the engine sound enhance is for sound on the inside In the truck? Please explain....

Low frequency sound is injected through the sound system. It’s most noticeable during WOT. Once it’s turned off the difference is noticeable. It’s way more than you think

I turned off fake sound, but I still hear the engine, just not as loud. I like it gone.

WOT = wide open throttle. I know, I had to look it up, too.

Software Engine Sound EnhancementDisables the "piped in" sound through the speakersACM

This seems to confirm there is a firmware level difference between MYs.

Where did you hear it messes with the adaptive cruise? I've seen nothing to that effect.

Hey gents, I have used the forscan and did the all terrain mod ...and I updated splash screen to raptor....now I have a question. When I key up the car initially raptor comes up...but when I'm parked and getting out the Ford comes back on.....so raptor is there only during startup.....is this correct?

Also I have an Xlt with almost all the Bells and whistles.... While I was looking through the forescan the precollision assist if you look in the picture says it's disabled but yet I have it on my car I don't understand should it say disabled? I have seen it warn me already but I have never felt the brakes......see pic
