You can't change the # of presets for AM or FM.

Default Auto Mirror Fold

I have a 2013 FX4 with telescopic power-fold mirrors. I’ve seen the spreadsheet for 2015+ BCM settings to enable the auto fold feature, but not for 2013/2014 trucks. Anyone know?

I think you're right, the BCM somehow got stuck and restoring the original values made it all work again... Huge sigh of relief when it worked because I was starting to believe it was a physical wiring fault. It's times like these when I sometimes miss the old days when you don't need an IT degree to work on your vehicle

While you may not be able to change the number of preset pages, you CAN set them all to the same stations. Has the same effect. No matter which page you are on, you get the same station for that preset button.

True but the purpose would be to eliminate the number of “pages” you flip through to get to the next source and programming all 3 pages the same doesn’t help for that.

This is something that drives me nuts with my truck too. The "M" button on the steering wheel is essentially useless because it takes so many button presses to get to the source I want to get to.

Well that’s a Ford annoyance we’ll have to live with. My Caddy had setup options for the number of presets....and that was back on ‘11. Figured Ford would have it somewhere! Fer now, I’ll set ‘em all to the same channels - there’s just not that many commercials I want to listen to on broadcast! Thanks everyone.....

Commercials- Thats why I upgraded my ACM to HD radio. Couple of HD secondary stations I like have almost no commercials.

I remember looking into this for someone a while back and I don't think it's possible (or I couldn't find where) because if memory serves me correctly you don't have DDM/PDM modules in your year.

I don’t believe i got those modules. I might have to splice the mirror switch wires to either the power lock or the ignition harness to make it work, hopefully gaining auto fold function while retaining the manual power fold...
