I tried a BS badlands gsm. It plugs right in and works but when you hit M it puts it in L. So I think but not sure the BS badlands gsm is not needed just someone to figure out the programming to change L to work as M.
We didn’t do this in as built, just changed IPC to gear shift indicator enabled. It works but only when using the paddle shifters then it goes away when the computer takes over shifts. It will say D6 or D7 for example, this is on an XL cluster, but it works with others too.
One problem with M is the fact that it is used in addition to a + and - button to change the gear and a dedicated gear display on the dash. It is used as a TOW feature and I believe the bronco and f150 have these or at least options for them. I would think you would have to get a M dial or S dial from a vehicle that already has paddle shifters and manual shifting for a SPORT function. Another problem is there are several codings in the IPC that are Manual Transmission related rather than Manual shift for Auto transmission and it can be confusing.
we have already have +/- in the form of paddle shifters from the euro ST steering wheels and gear display when they are being used.
not entirely sure. I need to do some more research about it! lol
I just watched several videos of the escape ST‘s and none of them had paddle shifters on the steering wheel? The ford literature says they are select shift and paddle shift though. Anyway I think the BS badlands would be more congruous to getting the manual mode on a maverick.
What’s this do exactly?
I changed the default value of the battery of 80% of the battery charge level (Ford wants to have your battery only charged to 80% capacity so you can save a little gas) to 95%. Your battery will last longer by keeping it near 100% charged and you may also avoid battery issues that so many Mav owners are experiencing (many, many threads about this issue).
Is this the 12v or hybrid?
I have the EcoBoost, so it is a 12 volt battery under the hood.
