[@joeg9810]

Cool stuff thanks

[@JROC734]

Here's why I'm interested in FORScan. I have an 18 XLT FX4 Screw with the Coyote, and the tow package. Ford didn't offer the Max tow package with the Coyote until 2021. What this apparently means is that while my truck came with came with the 3.73's (and as a result a 9.75" rearend) a 36 gallon gas tank, the beefier front anti-sway bar, I pretty sure the transmission cooler, trailer backup knob and hill decent Ford for some reason left off the OEM trailer brake controller. The good news is that where it goes in the dash is used as a cubby hole with the connector on the back of it in the harness so you can buy the brake controller for about $150, install it in the dash, and use FORScan to activate it.... Or you can take it to a Ford dealer and pay them to turn it on for you.

[@user-nh3gu1ge3d]

Same. I got the '17, 5.0, 3.73, Trailer Tow, but no trailer brake controller. I wonder why they'd put a "trailer tow package" without a brake 😆. Seems like the one thing that WOULD come with that package but what do I know...

[@eclypse3d]

Having a v6 i do not think dictates if you have auto start stop also there are other modules that should be edited to disable the button etc.

[@pursueallthings581]

How do you do the temperature mod you never really explained that one?

[@explorationsrenovations5982]

Hi Ricardo. Once again great video. Hey I know you did a video in DRL’s. Can you send me the screenshots you made of the FORscan codes for master disable of DRL’s. What I want is, with the truck in gear and the light selector switch turned all the way to the left (off) I want ZERO lights on. I can’t seem to quite get all the way there. Currently I’ve got them set for parking lights only. BTW, I have an f350 but I think programming is the same. Thanks brother.

[@fordfanaticcoach9424]

For the nav in motion, the asterisks is where we would type the numbers?

[@johnslusarski2663]

You listed 5 different setting to change for global windows open amd close, do you have to do all 5 changes? Or just pick one?

[@brianh8889]

Great video! Any idea what would control the massage seats? I did the Lincoln mirrors, Nav in motion, Bambi mode, and disabled the double honk and now my multi contour seats are disabled.

[@ricardosworkshop]

Not sure if it's related. Check fuses. Revert to original settings if its still not working. Checkout forscan.org too

[@Painfulwhale360]

Did you fix this? Now you have me worried about doing this to my 2018 platinum 😬

[@brads.3674]

[@TheChaseBoysDad]

I have one ? What about the engine oil pressure readout. Always hated the miles to empty being the only one displayed up top so I’m getting forscan to change mostly what you did in this video but CAN you add oil pressure readout as well so all 4 gauges show a value above or is that not something you can do? Thx for the video man. Luv it

[@ricardosworkshop]

Thanks for watching Cody. I have not see this capability. You might have to add hardware and wiring to accomplish this.

[@troywiltshire5272]

Is there a way to disable the auto lock feature? I hate going through the Walmart parking to pick up someone at the door and the stupid door locked itself. I would rather be the one who decides if I want to lock or unlock the door. I know some vehicles have the option to disable that feature with the onboard menus, but I have looked through every menu I can find on my 2019 F-150 XL and I haven’t seen an auto lock disable feature.

[@andrewtriumph955]

What leveling kit did you use?

[@Mr13countryboy]

Hey man! Hope you see this. I was wondering if you know if it's possible or not to change the splash screen with the sync 2. I did it on forscan on the non as-built format, even after a soft radio reset it never showed the raptor start up screen. Can't find much help across the ford forums. Help!!😂

[@DJMEDIC671]

On the navigation I notice that it doesn’t track your actual speed as like my family’s Kia does it turns the speed limit sign red if your going over the posted limit do you know if this is capable with this for scan mod?

[@ricardosworkshop]

Hi DJ. I have never seen this on a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda. So I would say no. It sounds like a cool feature though. Thanks for watching!

[@kennethstrickland307]

Hey Ricardo, I did a few mods and now have an issue with the Ambient Light in the truck. 1) The Dome lights stay on when ignition is on. They brighten and dim too, its really weird. (only way to cut them off is to cut the ambient light switch off on the overhead panel. 2) The Ambient colorful lights won't come on at all now either... Are there any fixes on FORSCAN that you know of? List of Mods I made: 2016 F-150 Lariat V-8 5.0L w/ updated Sync 3: 1. Side Mirror Close Auto when locking 2. Bambi Mode on Headlights 3. Enabled the Trailer Brake Control Mod 4. Global Windows 5. Disabled Honk when you get out of vehicle and close door while its running

[@ricardosworkshop]

I would revert all to original. Then change one at a time. You should be able to narrow down the issue.

[@dominictobin7158]

Does this work for the 2021 F150 as well?

[@HatchetRyda360]

Has anyone tried the Lincoln Style mirror mod on a 2013 f150? Or does the year of the vehical matter on what you you change in the boxes?

[@ricardosworkshop]

If it has the same module. It should work. But 2013 probably is different.

[@wolo4]

Thank you for the ForScan videos. Very helpful to unlock my trucks full potential. Will you please share the mods to your truck? Lift? Tires? I like the stance. I have a fully loaded 2018 Lariat and will be doing some of the mods like Lincoln mirrors and global windows. Is there a way to unlock adaptive cruise? My truck has everything but adaptive.

[@ricardosworkshop]

You cant just add the software if you don't have the hardware. But if you have all the hardware, it just a metter of turning it on.

Avoid changing anything to do with the APIM/SYNC and navigation. Whenever that APIM connects to the servers via WiFi, it adds that corrupt data to the servers and causes all sorts of issues when SYNC updates are done.

Thats interesting John. I thought OUC was a separate setting.
