FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck
Senior Member
Well this is only going to be necessary if you want to update the firmware yourself. Unless you have a specific need to do the firmware, it's best left for the dealership when you bring your truck in for service because the risk of bricking a module is always present when doing firmware updating.
Damn. Those puppies ain't cheap. What sort of interface do the PCM tuner devices (e.g. SCT) use, where they are are so much cheaper than true J2534-2? Or or they not really flashing the firmware, and just updating tables?

It's on the BCM spreadsheet. If you're using the newest version of FORScan you don't have to ever worry about accidentally writing this because the newest version won't let you change this anymore. This is (was) the only non-reversible FORScan change ever found by a few people like myself who were testing values.

I did a search and looked on the spreadsheet, so I apologize if it missed it.
Is there any way to have the truck default to perimeter alarm all the time, or disable the motion sensors permanently?
I know you can in the display but it always defaults back to "all sensors" when you cycle the ignition and while it pops up when I jump out but sometimes the dog is in there and I forget and the next thing i know the damn alarm keeps going off. Thanks

Putting some stickers over the sensors is the easiest way.

2017 Lariat backup camera not displaying after forscan mods
Hello all, just made some mods using the spreadsheet to my 2017 Lariat. Now my backup camera is not working/displaying when in I shift in reverse. Before I go back and restore the settings I wanted to see if anyone has had the same experience and a fix for this. I used the spreadsheet and made the following mods. I did a search, but didn’t find anything related to this issue.
•DRL-Turns only (Halogen lights)
•Global Window Open/Close
•Double Horn Honk disable
•Engine temp & Transmission temp display 8” cluster
•Heated & Cooled Seat Icons on home & climate screen
•Stereo Extended play
Thanks in advance for putting this spreadsheet together.

- When I bring my vehicle into the dealer should I mention that I do not want them to update the firmware on the sync?
In your fourth question you stated that you have 3.8 - this is the most current version released to the F150 that I'm aware of..
. - Is there a way we can downgrade if they do update the firmware?
Again , you have the most current so their is no need to downgrade.
. - Does it matter which navigation sd card I purchase A7 or A8, should they all work the same? Doesn't look like this is something you can just download.
The A8 is the newest map version, you can buy an older card you just wont have the most up to date data on it.
. - When I login to ford online it shows that I am currently on 3.8 and that there is not a newer version avaliabile. I was thinking there was a 3.10 out now? I have a 2015 f150.
