I'm not enough of an expert to fully get into this, but this youtube video talks about the actual data format and how it's using the VIN with these codes. It's a Motorola data format that probably would be different from other vehicle brands. Most of what gets translated to a hex format here is...
There's usually only 1 character in the hex codes that changes to adjust the actual settings, the rest of those characters are variable based on the VIN, like an encryption key. Every model year, every trim package could have some variables with different codes, but the VIN is the biggest factor...
Nice! I have the console vault for mine, which I purchased directly from the manufacturer instead of through ford, at a discount. Haven't installed it yet, but your photos point out something I was concerned about. I had heard the room above the lid wouldn't allow for a tray, this seems like a...
Good question, I've been tinkering with this concept, looking to put something together that's closer to OP's solution, but with a printable template. I understand that several members want a kit they can buy, and those designing them have time invested. I'd like to just get a printable template...
I just witnessed that at a quick-lube place yesterday while taking in another vehicle. Mach-E just used their driveway to turn around, but for the brief moment it wasn't clear, they all lost their minds. Not even a real mustang, etc. Would have thought they'd happily take the money for tire...
That's great insight. I need to check into this too. I haven't been bothered by auto start/stop as much as I thought I would, but I have noticed that it doesn't kick in until I've been driving for little while. I recently saw something in forscan myself about battery charge level limits, and...
I have an EcoBoost, so this may not be the same, but I was poking around in forscan recently and discovered a setting related to the battery charge cutoff. It was set from the factory to 80%, which I can't quite get my head around, unless it's to make life easier on the alternator. Curious if...
It's possible. Website hasn't been updated, but several posts between the one you quoted and this one with examples of success, including my 2024 XLT. Don't need the test build link you referenced in a second reply, just the standard 2.3.58 version, which is their latest.
I have the same feelings about it, in general, just from a personal responsibility angle. Since the cable is needed anyway, I figure a screen sharing style coaching session is best, rather than making the actual changes remotely. Pointing out what sections to open, where to click to write the...
Those changes have been thoroughly discussed and debated in various threads as they've been announced. Check the 2024 model related pinned posts in the ordering/tracking section of the forum, there's a lot of details there. This one is good...
Jumping on the bandwagon (had a brief stint in the insurance industry) to agree with these last couple comments. Everyone's saying lawyers, and they're right, but your insurance company has their own lawyers that you don't need to mess around with or pay in this situation. File the claim, tell...
For what it's worth, if you already own a laptop capable of running forscan, the cable expense is the biggest hurdle. Depending on what you want to accomplish in forscan, there's lots of guides here, on reddit, and great youtube videos that will walk you right through the process. The biggest...
Wasn't pointing a finger, despite my use of "you". Apologies. Consider my comment a version of "Look twice, save a life". Just my 2 cents on awareness, and considering bikes often travel in groups, the next rocket flying by may arrive any moment after the first daredevil. Being predictable on...
I saw someone else mention their forscan mods had been cleared after the turn signal recall. They're flashing what they believe to be the factory settings back to the truck during that process. I know there's sound settings that you can adjust through forscan, so it would make sense that all of...
