So i will try to change the settings in Forscan and see what happens. I'm just curious if the issue lies in the programming of the NAV itself in the APIM.
To get the Nav, was the APIM replaced or was the daughter board added to the APIM?

I wonder if it is an issue with the APIM not being compatible, it may accept the daughter board and work, but the travel link doesn't. Only an idea.

I’m guessing you bought that daughter board from someone (I saw a for sale ad in the FS area). Have you contacted the person you bought it from for assistance? Guessing it’s sold as-is, but it may be good to at least make the seller aware of it in case it is an actual hardware/firmware incompatibilty that they are not aware of.

You have a a pretty specific case since you swapped a board in the APIM and not the whole assembly. Not many have done that yet to know if there’s any additional tweaking that needs to be done - it may not be something that changing as-built data can fix.

Default Cargo Lights with Reverse Lights?

Is it possible to use ForScan to get the Cargo Lights to come on with the reverse lights or vice versa?

I put LEDs in so the Cargo Lights would help illuminate behind me in reverse.

Thanks-

Do you have the following values set?
ACM 727-01-01 1xxx xxxx xxxx
ACM 727-04-01 x0x1 x155 53xx

yep just checked and both of those are the same as you posted. Further the guy who sold me the board has been a huge help but thought i would also ask you on this thread since i do not really understand how the APIM and ACM are linked. This is fun for me and travel link is not a deal breaker but if i can figure it out that would be great!
The other idea was to find the AS-Built data from a lariat and upload and try that. Picture is of my ACM settings

My wife had an old hp netbook running windows 7 starter that I wanted to use for forscan. I got forscan itself set up and purchased the usb obd2 connection recommended in the first post of the thread. I went to the website that was on the directions sheet for the connector and downloaded the driver, but the netbook is not accepting the driver. Is it the starter version of windows that is causing problems or am I doing something wrong?

I am using 8 years old Dell Laptop with Windows 8 Enterprise. I bought ELMconfig by OHP on Amazon (the $29 USB OBD2 ) When I plugged my adapter into my laptop it automatically installed all needed drivers. I did not had to search the WEB and download drivers from any websites. I am thinking that the problem is NetBook, the Windows are not full blown version like on Laptops.
