I have the reader. There are a few settings I would like changed from factory. Anyone here worked with this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue98ls1 Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Anthony might know a little about it. We have it for the Mustang. I swapped a touch screen radio into it and I know he had to use it for a bunch of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I have done a fair amount on my Taurus. What are you trying to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Anthony might know a little about it. We have it for the Mustang. I swapped a touch screen radio into it and I know he had to use it for a bunch of things. Good to know. I know he is busy and may reach out. I have done a fair amount on my Taurus. What are you trying to do? There are so many options out there for the F150. I don't know the names of all of them. I know there is Bambi mode, screen settings within Sync and a few other things. Would like to change up and add a few settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 There is a Facebook group where you can ask for the excel file for your year and model. Forescan & ford sync users Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is Bambi mode, screen settings within Sync and a few other things. Would like to change up and add a few settings. You can look on the forum or facebook group or you can google for the spreadsheet for your vehicle. The Taurus sheet was fairly nice and had some descriptions of what the most common options were. There are so many, I still don't know what some of them are. If you haven't already, make sure you get a copy of your As-Built data and save it. Then, I highly recommend saving a copy after every set of revisions/changes (I just use the vehicle and date for the file name). I would only make a couple changes and then use the truck for a couple days. You will come across some weird anomalies sometimes. For example, I changed my lane change flashes from 3 to 7. Worked except my left turn signal would not turn off automatically when turning (not lane change), I had to manually trigger the right and then they both would go off. I also have an aftermarket module for the DRL from DriveBrite Lights that does not play well with some settings. Try sticking with the built in changes until you get used to it, then move on to making the hexadecimal changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Quick Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I did a few tweaks to the wifes 2017 Expedition. Main one was adding remotes start with just a few clicks of the mouse, and purchasing some key fobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Might as well take advantage of the invaders while they are here. I have a 2020 Ford Explorer that pipes fake engine noise through the speakers when it's put in sport mode. Any way to get rid of that annoying shit?

CR invaded OMG? lol To answer your question what you want to do is go ahead and disconnect your speakers. Boom. Problem solved. You're welcome. Now, to actually try to be of assistance, it can be turned off. Maybe this might be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Boomer and don't want to code, I just want to flip switches on or off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to have remote start for my pos work transit, but don’t want to drop $400 on a vehicle I don’t own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
