Thanks for this. Took a bit to find the required Extended License to edit my Trailer Brake Controller Gain setting on my 2015 but eventually got it done. That's the only setting on the 2015 that came up and I hope it's ready to roll because I'm picking up a travel trailer next week and they won't let it leave the lot without a brake controller (working). :-o

[@tomacwoody]

Is good that you can defiantly dig deeper. I myself definitely enjoy a good defiant dig.

[@airborne63]

Thanks for the video, I'm just starting out with Forscan as well. Keep in mind that in CANADA, DRLs are REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW, on ALL vehicles sold in Canada after 1990. It's not a 'lifestyle option', and could cost you big if they are disabled and are pulled over with inoperative DRLs.

[@billgoatgarage]

I live in canada as well and aware of the daytime running light laws. and modifying what I did turning off the headlamp as the drls and using the side markers is legal as well. the entire generation of Ford trucks from 2010 to 2014 all use the marker lights as the drls from factory. as well doing the lights like this also illuminated the full parking light system of the truck allowing you to be seen from the front and the rear and In my opinion is a better alternative lighting option then just the front headlamps. unfortunately our drl systems in newer vehicles are bright enough and the dashboards are always backlit that some people don't realize at night time they are only using the daytime lights and do not have any other lighting active on the car until they hit the brake lights. these people are more of a hazard then amber drls

[@airborne63]

@@billgoatgarage Agreed. Usually black or grey cars....driving at night without their full lighting system on, (required one hour before sunset) and basically invisible from behind. I know that some trucks use the parking lights as DRLs, but lately I've seen a LOT of cars without DRLs, meaning that they were either disabled, burned out relays, or......smuggled into the country. :) Thanks again for the video.

Still looking for a Forescan mod to allow using the 360 cameras while moving. I'd like this completely for looking to the rear to see the trailer, or any other reason. I've rented other brands' trucks/SUVs and they allow use of cameras at any speed. My '13 Accord also allowed use of right side camera at any time while moving, but not the rear.

Good afternoon, can you provide any information on an 18 Escape SE non-navi to me on a swap for one with?

A Titanium version? Would love to be able to do the climate, seats, lights, etc if I can.

[@billgoatgarage]

you are swimming in waters I have not yet charted. I imagine swapping the apim might work however you might be in over your head. I think you would be able to just change the configuration for the apim in the vehicle to respond. but if your vehicle was not built with the mods you are looking to install the vehicle wiring harness might be different and even if you get your configuration correct in the software of the module the wiring harness installed in the vehicle just might not have the wires you need

[@Sagittarius-88]

Do the front turn signals still flash even though they're being used as DRL's? If not, that's not only a major safety concern, but would fail safety inspection in numerous States. I'd like to do that mod on my F150, but if the front turn signals no longer flash after being assigned as DRL's, that's a deal breaker.

[@billgoatgarage]

absolutely they do. the front turn signal/marker bulbs are dual filament and the markers are the drls allowing the signal to flash

[@lswoodcraft]

I tried changing my DRL to the turn signals/parking lights and the tail lights are also illuminated. With DRL in the stock format of low beams, the tail lights are not illuminated. Any idea how to remedy this? Thanks for the video BTW!

[@billgoatgarage]

no that is the way it is when you put the parking lights on with it. personally this is how I ran my truck was with parking lights on all the time. if you change the code for only the turn signal to be on then you will not have the parking lights. but if you use the code I used you will run the lil marker lights as well. but when you run those you run all the parking lights. make sense? hope so good luck

You Added Climate Control To The Display QUESTION: Are you able to access these features from the steering wheel ? Or do you have to still touch the screen on radio display

[@drive8892]

Can you please tell me where can I get the spreadsheet of the original and the new one that you have in here? I m a second owner of a truck f-150 xlt 2018 originally from Canada. I believe that the first owner must changed a few things on the drl of the truck before. Now that I have no daytime running light option to turn on/off in the display setting. First With the factory halogen headlight my truck the headlight was working fine as normal until I replace it to led bulbs. Since then every time when I drive or reverse the truck my headlight low beam just automatic turn on even the light switch is on off. And when I put it on park my headlight low beam would goes off. Now that I replace the old factory halogen headlight to a new one called Morimoto xb 2nd generation and I still have the same problem as when I replace it to led bulbs. I don’t want my headlight low beam and the C shape led light to be on every time I drive as it on off mode. Please share your thought, thanks.

[@FoDaddy]

Some of the settings are universal, the theme selection is common to all models for example. The Sync 3 system itself as far as hardware goes is common to all ford products that have Sync 3 (new ones have the option for a 4G modem that older ones don't though, and the nav-enabled ones have more storage than non-nav units (32GB for nav, and I want to say 8GB or 16GB for non-nav). They Sync 3 system in the $400k Ford GT is the same as the one in the EcoSport, just with different settings enabled for the features that the GT has and the EcoSport doesn't have, you can enable the same features on the EcoSport, but the if the vehicle doesn't have those features and you enable them, then you can run into problems, an example would be trying to enable the 360 camera view from the Raptor on a Fiesta that physically doesn't have the necessarily hardware (cameras) to support the feature.
