How to use Forscan to mod your vehicle

[@TimHPop776]

I just got my 2019 F150 Lariat today. I changed these mods: Turn signals to 5 blinks, shut off the Auto stop/start mode with no pop up screen reminding you it is off. Bambi mode is on, Turned on a Sony Amp/Syn in the Sync 3, put the number above my dummy gauges, Heated - Vented seat controller on the Snyc 3 screen. As I learn more I will do those as well. If useful. Enjoy your weekend! Thank you.

[@jameybarisoff]

Now we need some Foreskin mods.

[@TimHPop776]

Thanks for actually showing us the actual scan tool! I have a 2019 F150 I just purchased and want to do some of the simple changes you did, as well as turn off the auto star/stop. Thank you.

Zecro67 they never will as some things are for legal reasons and also you can force people to buy higher trims for specific features.

[@Zecro67]

@@FishFind3000 I am not suggesting allowing the owner to turn off the seatbelt minder or disable safety features but the number of turn signal blinks is a personal preference like the splash screen or allowing bambi mode is a no brainer.

Great video, thanks!

[@Condor1970]

On the 2018 Mustang GT base model, it has an oil pressure switch for low oil pressure. The center display only shows oil pressure "normal", and not an actual PSI value. The Performance Pack Mustang has a variable voltage pressure sender with an electric gauge. That signal also goes to the PCM for the oil light if it gets too low. I wonder, is there is a way to remove the switch and install a pressure sender, then add a digital gauge graphic with the oil pressure value to the tree menu on the center display?

[@garythompson1042]

I really, REALLY appreciate your content. I am going to getting into the modification arena with my own F-150 in the near future and I'll be using a lot of your mods as a reference for when I start. Just a few questions for my 2016 F-150 XLT (2.7 Ecoboost, 302A Package): 1. Does the 2016 Lariat have different headlights than the XLT? Because I would like to be able to turn the halos on for daytime running, if that's something available to me. 2. For the newest Sync 3 updates, did you have to upgrade your USB ports in order to use Android/Apple Auto? I can't get a for sure answer through research, so I thought I'd ask. Really, I do appreciate your content. I look forward to using your videos to upgrade my truck very soon!

[@AutoDad]

My lights are only an option for Lariat trims on up. You can order aftermarket lights with halos. I have sync 3 stock so android and apple work on mine

[@joestrobaugh9615]

@@AutoDad Morning! (Heard you were a 3rd-Shifter, God bless - that's definitely not the most fun ever. I work for a tire manufacturer down in TN.) - I have been looking at upgrading the headlights, so it's good to know that's the direction I need to take instead of wasting money. - I also have Sync 3 stock with my F-150, but it's running software v1.0 and there's a lot of back and forth on the internet about methods for getting the in-vehicle software updated to the newest version (v3.2 or v3.3, I believe). - Along with all that comes the debate about some Ford models needing an upgraded USB port in order to use Android/Apple Auto. Not really sure if that applies to me, but I do know that the dealer down here wants to charge me $120/hr for an update that's 100% free through Ford. Either way, I appreciate your feedback!

[@AutoDad]

I know you can update it over the internet Wi-Fi that is and that's what I do. I tried to update versus a flash drive in the download would not work as a lot of people have an issue with. Other than that I would take it to the Ford dealership

I have a 2010 ford CVPI and the interior lights don't come on when the doors are opened. I've head this is called "Dark Mode" will this solve this issue? Because I don't want to spend $100 at the dealership to have it done. Thanks
