Can the annoying remote entry/exit light-show (parking lights/brake lights/cargo light) be disabled via Forscan? "dark mode" option?

Tried the corner lighting. It was OK, but kinda gimmicky with my stock Lariat fogs. When I upgraded to amber Squadron Pros there it was too much and turned it off. Would be good with an SAE pocket fog.

Fake engine noise delete
ASS delete
Double honk delete
Tire size change

Those are my big 4

I could’t bring myself to remove the OEM fog (driving?) lights. So I just added the DD to the middle opening in the bumper. ??

I like ASS so I kept it but including yours I also did the ABS brake bleed and the chimes.
The double honk was the only one really bugging me but the others are nice.
I didn’t have any luck loading the Bronco Splash screen so I settled on the GT Slash screen. It’s different than the F250 program in the video above.

dark mode or (police mode) will turn those off but i think it turns off basically all the lights until your moving etc. id be happy just cutting the brightness down by half of the lowest setting.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks! I think I am done with forscan. I did what i needed and have put it away. i get a lil too button pushy when lots of options are within reach. so i boxed up the cable and put it high on the shelf so its out of sight out of mind. otherwise id mess with stuff until the truck was bricked lol.

What’s this fake engine noise all about???
several years back auto experts - found people enjoy hearing an engine at certain times, like hard acceleration. instead of making mean engines that are semi loud to satisfy that they decided to get fake engine sounds and have them play over the audio systems in the automobiles in coordination with the computer to be "timed" correctly to throttle etc. what blew my mind was realizing several manufactures used the same approach on models that actually had a nice healthy sounding engine and instead of letting it breath a lil they went with the piped in or digital audio route. oddly enough number one modification to s550 mustangs is exhaust lol...

i bet it is possible. i think i recall seeing something about tpms in the list but, it was more like calibrate or reset i think. not off or on like the other options. i like tpms. if i air down to play it reminds me to air back up before i hit the pavement. i do forgets stuffs now an den...

I tried the fog lights when turning and it really didn't do anything noticable. Instead I have the fog lights come on instead of the headlights for day time lights, and fogs also on at night. Eventually I want to get the raptor grill and wire the lights on that to the fog lights so that's on always as well.... but that's for a future purchase...

Disabled as many chimes I could figure and that stupid auto stop. I thought I remember seeing you can disable the panic alarm, that's the last one I think I'll need to add for now.

i tried the fog cornering thing also, it was worth trying but most of the time it would be dark enough to be useful i already have the headlights and fog lights on so i went back to stock. however I am loving the fogs and high beams on at the same time! I am off pavement a lot after dark and bambi mode was well worth the cost of the forscan setup and learning how to use it. in some cases the fogs and high beams are enough i do not need auxiliary lighting like i did before.

I had fog lights turn on when cornering in my last jeep. Loved it, however witht he Ranger I bothered upgrading the fog lights to dual color LED (white/Amber) and I can't stand the thought of them changing color every time I turned 90's

Where you able to do the seatbelt unbuckled and "door open with key in ignition" chime?

Yeah, but I'd have to look at my laptop for exactly what I changed. I took a bunch of screenshots just in case I wanted to change things back.

There's still a chime when first getting in the truck, but the door open chime and seatbelt chime bugged me the most.
