How-to: Play VIDEO / MOVIES on your Maverick Radio Display Screen using FORScan!

[jerrisn]

Tried to get as-built per your link but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you had a space at the beginning of the VIN.

Are you in a different country?. Sometimes it asks me for the country before I put in the vin. I will try your vin and see if I can just send you the as built codes

Physically yes... It asked me that question so i chose US but maybe I should have turned on my VPN. Thanks for the DM!!!

I think the other user was right if you have any spaces in the vin area it will reject it. and no problem!

Talk about perfect timing! I was considering buying a tablet for this exact purpose. Will try this out and see how I like it. Thanks

Speaking of tablets, has anyone tried to connecrt their tablet to the info=tanment screen >>>

I can't get ez mode. Any way of the as built info ?

No luck here getting it to play video. I used usb formatted in ExFat and only loaded one video on the drive for test purpose. Used the EZ mode as I have XLT. Forscan shows it "Enabled without restrictions" I do get audio playing and a picture of the DVD cover. The sound is excellent, just no video. Any ideas? Thanks!

Any updates here for lariat?

Sorry about that. Didn’t know this was the case. Thanks for the info!

I had Ford look at the problem and they found that my radio Was turned off. They intended to change out a module, but were able to nurse it on somehow and everything works fine now. I wish I knew if I created the problem and, if so, what I did.

The FIRST thing you will need is a usb drive. I am using a Samsung 256GB USB C flash drive formatted to EXFAT using Mac Disk Utility Master Boot Record.
The drive must be formatted to EXFAT or FAT32. This can be done on any computer.

Next, using your computer, load your movies onto the drive. I have found that videos formatted to .MP4 work best. I found .MOV files will NOT work.

Before you plug in the USB drive to your Maverick, you must make a FORSCAN change so your videos can be played while PARKED and DRIVING. I tested the USB drive in the Maverick without making the FORSCAN change and it would not read/play the videos, so the FORSCAN change is required.

For XL, and XLT Mavericks make this change below.

ACM (EZ MODE)
Change "Video Playback" to "Enabled without restrictions"

The factory setting for "Video Playback" is "disabled"

If you have a Lariat Maverick, This has not been figured out yet..


You can now plug in your USB drive to your Maverick and start watching Videos or Movies! Here are some pictures below! EDIT: If you get an ERROR that NO MEDIA is found. Do a factory reset of the radio by going to general - reset - factory reset and this will fix the issue!. If you want to change to different video file choose Browse - then select the file

First of all, it worked perfectly for me.
Mav 2024 Hybrid Lariat, Brazil, Sync 2.5...

Some considerations:
- Here in Brazil, there is the Lariat Hybrid version and also the Lariat EcoBoost version.
- In Brazil, until 2024, there is no Sync 3, all are with Sync 2.5.
- The APIM module refers to Sync 3. So those who have Sync 2.5 will not see the APIM module.
- I tested it with an MP4 file, saved in the root of the USB-A PenDrive in exFAT format. I have not tested it in another format and I have not tried to put the file in folders.

Anyone know if there exists a file size limit?

I ended up getting this to work with the Forscan changes and can play short clips of vidoes but my large files of full length movies show the dreaded "no media found"

Maybe the large ones might be corrupted....

Also , MP4... AND MOV files both play in the truck

I've run into the same confusion trying to reactivate FordPass after a factory reset. It can be a hassle since you usually have to go through those extra steps in the menu to turn on the remote features again. Sometimes I forget where the setting is and end up poking around for way too long, but once you find it, everything usually starts working again without any major issues. This whole situation reminds me of how I use outside software to record zoom meeting sessions so I never lose track of important settings or instructions given during calls. It’s been super helpful, especially when I need to reference something detailed later.

I have an Ottocast adapter that does work. It pulls up as an apple carplay adapter and you can hook up anything with HDMI to it. The screen defaults to a small version but you can tap it to expand to fill the screen. The downside compared to the built in Youtube is that it doesn't truly full screen, the climate controls at the bottom and the bar at the top remain so the video looks stretched sometimes.
