FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck

I was under the impression that only raised the thresholds and still didn't fully disable. I've held my button for 5 seconds and recall it saying something like advanced trac sport, and still wouldn't let me do donuts in the snow. I get about 1/2 way into a spin and the truck just stopped. But that was last year, and I haven't played with holding it for 5 seconds vs double tapping the button since then.

Hey Livnitup I wanted to start off with THANK YOU! all the work you have put into this is amazing I love all the new features I can add to my truck.
Second, I tried to search about PowerPlant Timeout but couldn't find exactly what it does and powers. Is there a post somewhere that explains it better>

The powerpoint timeout is for the 12V cigarette lighter receptacles. Some people have their dash cameras powered off the 12V receptacle and want the power to shut off immediately after powering off the truck instead of having to unplug it. Other people want it on for a longer specific time period for powering other accessories while the truck isn't running.

Ok thanks. So I was right in that the system isn't fully off with the button pushes, only once 4 low is engaged. The roll stability control can still kick in when everything else is off or higher threshold.
Even with TCS and ESC disabled the RSC apparently can do the same thing if it detects wheel spin and sliding or yawing. So I would assume that limits "fun time" even when the system says "disabled".

So true, I think I knocked all my changes out in a total of 1-2 hours. But I did a lot of searching trying to get a Lincoln Black Label theme, but couldn't find any combo to get it. My list was a Lincoln Presidential theme, numbers above gauges, fog lights with high beams, auto fold mirrors, mirrors turn to ground when button pressed in reverse (not quite what I expected, likely going to revisit), double honk disabled, and global windows (just the front two?). It really doesn't take very long.
