FORScan tweaks for a US Maverick in the UK

[RadioDoc]

So I have my 23 Hybrid XLT Lux, and decided to work on getting a few of the mods working on it while I'm here in the UK. Made some changes, and I've got the following mods up and running now:

• Eco Coach
• Speed Sign Recognition
• Silent Mode
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
• Driver Alert System
• Seat belt startup screen removal

Made some adjustments for region as well, and enabled some tow settings that I'll loop back around to later once I tie a UK trailer electrical connector into the trailer harness (got the basic 4-pin, but trailers over here need just a couple more wires and also for turn and brake to not be the same light). Figured I'd post the complete list here so all the Mavericks that are getting imported over here have some reference to what works, and also for the FORScan gurus here to roast my work. Just waiting on the wiring manual to show up, then I'm going to look into seeing if I can come up with a less intrusive light-conversion mod for over here that isn't the hack and slash approach the local garage takes to make US vehicles street legal for the UK.

Mandatory disclaimer - Back up your AS BUILT settings before making any of the below changes in case you need to roll your vehicle back to factory settings.

Nice detailed list there. Thanks for posting.

 

[TheShark]

Thanks for the info. I'll have to try that Frost Telltale (Below 5*C) setting.

Nice list, RadioDoc. Thanks. Do you know what any of the "Customer Preferences" options do or how to set them once enabled?

Nice list, RadioDoc. Thanks. Do you know what any of the "Customer Preferences" options do or how to set them once enabled?

From what I can tell, it's broken down like this:

• Initial - system default value
• Personal 1-4 - I'm assuming these are for individual MyKey settings
• Vehicle - this is the current option as set through vehicle menus

For me with just admin keys, vehicle appeared to be the only setting that was being changed as I'd update a menu while enabling the mods. For example, at one point I noticed that the Lane Keep Setting for vehicle was "LK Alert + LK Aid" as I had set that in the menu while the rest were just "LK Aid".

This is just my best guess though as to how that all works.

In the UK it is spelled Mavourick!

Is there a way to set the drive mode to always start in Eco?

No. It totally sucks, but I’ve made pressing the button part of my routine. 5 presses before clearing the OKs or 4 presses after.

Thanks! What you are saying makes sense. I'll give things a tweak and see what I find and post here if anything useful comes of it.

Everything I've seen on this topic has said the answer is no. Looks like a lot of research has been put into this topic as it's become a bit of a Holy Grail of FORScan settings, so I think it's safe to say that the second someone figures this out, everyone is going to know about it.

While looking through your post, I saw that you turned off the DRL function of your front low beams. Just wondering if they are indeed OFF with only your switchbacks acting as DRLs.

That was something I was going to dive into this weekend once I can get my wife to give me a hand with it since I don't have a mirror or anything to verify what is kicking on and when. Should have a better idea of whether it's actually working and/or what changes I need to make here in a couple of weeks once the wiring diagrams I ordered arrive.

Radiodoc - Don't be discouraged if you find they are not OFF. There is another thread on this subject that held promise, but failed for me as well as others.

I have the luxury of having a camera on my garage door opener so that I can see the results of my changes. Nothing ever does and it doesn't make any sense.

Thanks for that input. If I do find a solution I'll put it here.

 

[shipmack]

To save you the trouble, someone has found the solution.

I have applied his changes and I got my Switchback's working as DRL's only.
