My truck is a 2015 XLT, 302A, 2.7L, 2WD, 20" wheels, Trailer Brake Controller, OEM Kicker, 36 gallon tank and I installed Sync3 with NAV.
If your truck is similar, and if it helps, I still have six (6) VINs that I used along with the as-built info in a spreadsheet. PM me with your e-mail and I will send it to you.
Can also send you my final APIM as-built if you want.

It's actually really interesting seeing all these options and simple coding. Thanks again.

What's up guys I tried forscan for the first time last weekend and so far have some seat belt chimes, Bambi mod, idle secure, double honk, temp read out, double honk. On my 2015 f150
I'm wanting to disable the gps lockout over a certain speed, and want to increase the heat on my heated steering wheel a bit, can y'all help me out with that and any other cool ideas?

A bit off topic for second.. After watching the 2019 video that Airborne Ape was kind enough to post. I noticed a couple things .
First, no bedside decal. Curious if that's just an early build thing or how they'll be from now on or maybe just higher trims.
If they are going with no decal I'm going out tonight and making mine a 2019.
Second thing is, that rear bumper sure is sweet. I hope to hell I don't see that on a 5.0.. because I'll be installing a new bumper if so.

And yes both are things that can be enabled and are already posted in Livnitup's doc.
Nav in Motion is in the APIM. Steering wheel temp is in the HSWM and can be configured between 68° and 100°.

3. Enable numbers above the gauges all the time.
4. Enable reverse tilt
5. Disable double honk.

No F150 has active noise cancelation. There is no array of microphones wired in (It's possible someone could add it though). They are often confused with the F150 glass intrusion sensors; they are not the same thing.
It's labeled ANC for the same reason Livnitup has trunk lid options listed in his spreadsheet. Only the Ford Vignale and Endeavour offer true Active Noise Cancelation. The terminology and data used to fill in the F150 spread sheet came from Livnitup looking into those other vehicle profiles.
So the memory line which is noise cancelation in the Ford Mondeo Vignale and Endeavour is fake engine noise in the F150.
