Dark Car enabled on 2018 and nothing changed?

The silent car 5 option is in the Forscan spreadsheet. But it kills *everything*, including lock/unlock confirmations, so be prepared for that.

I just found this thread about Silent Mode instead of Dark (Police) mode, which of course didn't work on my 2018 XLT. Haven't had a chance to test yet, did anything work better by re-enabling the "dark car"? I too would like to keep the lock and unlock light confirmation.

"Dark Car = Silent Mode 5" & "BCM = BCYDM"
Used Silent Car 5 yesterday successfully. We were in the same boat traveling full time with a hawk pop-up mounted on our truck. We were so annoyed with the Christmas tree lights affect at night. This thread and a few others were very helpful. Thank you very much persistent people and astronomers who first put it out there!!!
I discovered yesterday that BCM is actually BCYDM in configuration mode while using our forscan for the F-150 2018 EcoBoost.
Ahhh peaceful bliss at last when it is supposed to stay dark at night in the frequented wilderness areas and those occasionally used more crowded campgrounds.
Much appreciate the assistance received
QUOTE=dailyd;5788287]Hey all, I have found the way to change the setting. Ford for some reason calls it "Silent Mode 5" it is found in the same BCM as Dark Car mode.
I discovered this in a sight about astronomy of all places.
As for the reasons to do this, other than nefarious, I am a full time RVer so I spent most of my time out in some pretty remote spots were the dark is important. Anybody who camps out in the wilderness doesn't want to be a nuisance by blinding everyone in shouting range if they forgot their reading glasses in the truck. It seems our astronomy geek friends also covet the dark. This also should reduce the melting of the Cargo Light on the back of the cab.... which still functions with the button on the dash, so this is a real win win for me.
This Forscan thing is pretty awesome.
Thanks Daily.[/QUOTE]
