The only truly important post is post #1. Read that one. Slowly and completely. Click on any links in it and you will be in business. It has all of the information you NEED to get going fully with ForScan. All other posts merely build on what is in post #1.

Livnitup, thank you for your spreadsheet/time/patience/responses. And thank you to everyone else who also contributes.

back to business here guys. In all that FUN ... folks may have missed my question about the tutorial on backing up modules - and the fact that the youtube version has no audio.

Is there an alternate source that DOES have audio? To me, it's critical to make a good backup before starting.

Hey, folks.

Last winter I used Forscan to enable a future subwoofer upgrade.

Instead of going that route, I went with the PAC dash kit, double DIN head unit, two amps, and an unpowered sub.

Fast forward to post install...

The PAC dash kit requires removal of the Sync components, 4.2" screen, and factory head unit.

I have some static that I'm trying to eliminate.

Is it possible that my noise is due to the changes I made previously?

I tried to go back into Forscan and undo the setting, but my audio control module is no longer detected (obviously, since it was removed).

My hunch is that there shouldn't be any ill effects as the settings were stored in the now removed stereo, but I'm grasping at straws at this point.

I have the same question, probably for different reasons. A user on here (livoniabob I think) recommended that if I want my mirrors to tilt down upon reverse the easiest way is to just program it into #3 in the memory buttons. The problem is that I toss it in reverse and hit the button right after and it doesnt work if I do that.

I can change my habits to suit the truck if necessary, but I'd prefer that the truck changes to suit me :-)
