I emailed the developers about the PIDs in APIM that should be stated that they are for Sync 2 and not Sync 3. They were ready to implement a change that would distinguish what is shown to Sync 2 vs Sync 3 people based on year of the truck, but apparently some 2016 models can still have Sync 2 so they're working on another way; either auto-detection or simply naming the PIDs listed as for Sync 2/3. I submitted them log & dump files from my FORScan at their request so they can try to implement some kind of auto-detection.

I appreciate that. Hopefully that will help others avoid some future issues.

Do you know of a way to print out or export the "as built" file to a human readable so that I can compare what I should have vs what I have now?

Or even someway of retrieving my profile I created prior to making any changes?

I would like to return things as they were if possible even it means losing the heated/cooled seats.

I had no problem with the double honk as that was entered via hex.

If you didn't save the individual modules prior to changing values, I would recommend you go here: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt and rather than saving the file, just keep your values up on your screen. Then go into the various as-built modules in FORScan where you made changes and look for the differences. Then make all the changes and click "write all" in each specific module. If you have only made a few changes such as double-honk for example you can use my spreadsheet to identify what that address is (726-41-02) rather than trying to compare line by line. Hope that makes sense. I don't know of a way to take your original as-built file from the Motorcraft site and turn it into individual .abt files for each module that you can easily restore.

After you return all your modules to the default values, save each as-built module when you're in there with the "save all" button at the bottom of the module and call each one something like BCM-original, APIM-original so you can easily revert in the future.

TexasFording,

I already did that a few days ago. Comes out with an extension of .ab

I need a program that will read that format.

Just from surfing the thread I assumed it was just something for Sync. seems to be a high-speed OBDII scanner. interesting...
