Raptor splash screen hack for any F-150

I show how to make any F-150 show the Raptor splash screen on the SYNC3 system! Mine is a 2017 XLT so it should also work on 2015-2020 model years as well.
ALWAYS back-up your configuration data in FORscan before writing any of the new changes! Not doing so and making a mistake could lead to problems you can't fix w/o going to the dealer. You assume all risk for doing this modification to your truck!

Going to use this to change the Mustang GT's to the Ford GT. Of course, it's not *THE* GT, but it still carries a similar name :P

[@NotoriousDRIVE305]

Sweet, my FRaptor build is loving this!

[@ricardosworkshop]

Great vids man! Keep it up!

[@agamnoorgill5166]

great video man. also can u make it on how to use navigation while driving ?

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

I wish there was a way to override those settings while in motion, but I have not found a solution for that so far.

[@andyspeight7277]

John do you have the codes for other Ford Lincoln products? Would be nice to have a list for each type of vehicle

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

I only have F-150 codes, you can check the forscan forums for Lincoln. forscan.org/forum/

[@brianwallace6700]

This is awesome. I still get the Ford screen at shut off. Know how to get the Raptor screen at shut off as well?

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

That’s odd. What year is your truck? Mine is 2017 and I only had to change the one setting.

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

You might check F150forum dot com and see if someone has a fix

[@enkrypted09]

This doesn't work on 2015 f150 lariat. Tried it a couple times!

[@miamiccw7359]

Awesome hacks for those hacks that don’t have a raptor but want to make believe in their simple minds they do 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤡

[@eimersongenerao9872]

Can you update the sync with the same tool?

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

No, to update Sync software you need to use a USB flash drive

[@dct150]

What is the reason for changing the screen? Does it change performance? Or anything other than the display?

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

It’s just for novelty. You could choose a Ford GT splash screen as another alternative

[@AUBravo15]

Will this work with MacBooks?

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

Maybe if you can run a Windows VM on it

[@martyrios100ify]

What other splash screens have you figured out?

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

The online spreadsheet details which ones are available

[@1968tomha]

How do you keep in that way on re-starts? When I restart the truck it defaults back to the original.

[@victorsg6313]

Will this work on a 2013 ?

[@d.samora9035]

Why??? You don’t even have a Raptor. Buy a Raptor and it comes with the splash screen already.

[@LevascaMoi]

Can this be done on Sync1

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

Not that I’m aware of

[@LevascaMoi]

If I can’t find a way I’ll just get a Sync2 system no biggie. Just no money mo money lol

[@Theelax42]

OBDLink MX Bluetooth - amzn.to/2MUt4We is no longer available, is there a recommended option or will any Bluetooth /obd2 adapter work?

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

OBDLink MX works well with the Ford systems. I'm not completely sure any old OBD2 will work. Here's a link to one of the OBDLink MX's in stock amzn.to/34XtpUC

[@DEADLYBRAIN]

Dose it work for mustang 2015?

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

It might, most OEMs share assemblies and software like this. I just can’t say for certain. Try to find others who have done it, you don’t want to end up bricking your navi module

[@SNBI2A]

Except you're not driving a raptor. Like the folks who put M badges on their non m BMW.

[@JohnsDIYPlayground]

True. But I have driven a Raptor before. A prototype, actually :-)
