FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck

Global windows
First many thanks to Livin' and his hacking brothers, this thread is awesome
I bought an almost full-option MY2016 F150 Lobo abt 2 months back and love the little truck.
But there's always something to wish for
I was surprised that there was no autofolding function for the mirrors on shutting off.
Found the solution here, got me all the hardware and software and did the Lincolnstyle mod today. Works perfect
Since I was at it, I also made the global windows mod available. It works but a few questions remain
I tried the search function for this (very long) thread, but couldn't find the answers. Might be my looking.................
- At the second push at the close button on the fob I get a horn signal. I take it this can be filtered also, but which is it? The Double Horn Honk disable? Or another?
- This only works for the front windows. Is there also something for the rear windows and roof?
Thanks again for the great work guys

I am either old and going slowly insane or it's not a possibility, but I'd love to operate the radio/blutooth without the having to hit the start button. I'd also like it to stay on when I open or close the doors.
How unrealistic am I being?

Many thanks to those who have put time and effort for the benefit of us in this thread!
I was able today to turn off seat belt minders, change tire size, tire placard p.s.i., enable bambi mode, and turn off Auto S/S. Will tackle global windows tomorrow.
FYI, big rookie mistake on my end. I kept getting "vehicle conditions incorrect" and was pulling my hair out. Turned the key from "acc" to "on" and all was well!

just hit the radio power button, use forscan to set how long it will stay on.

Not only that, but I have to have the dash on to get the thing to turn on.
I'll keep looking, but any advice is appreciated!

I was reviewing what else I'm missing with FORScan and found these in Livnitup's tutorial:
726-28-02 xxxx x*xx xxxx Front Fog Circuit With Turn Cfg: 0=allow, 1=inhibit
** Fog Light as switchback: 1=enable, 0=disable **
Does it mean that fogs will blink with turns?
What is the second option for, if anybody knows?
Thanks in advance for advise.

Just enabled the auto reverse tilt side mirror, and had heck of a time doing it because it seemed like it didn't program correctly on my F150. Frustrated, I went back into the house, then tried it again 10 minutes later and learned that I had to exit the truck, lock it, unlock it in order for the programming to stick. Had to do the same get out of truck, lock it, unlock it, and get back in for the reverse mirror tilt calibration to stick as well.
So below is my steps of how I had to program the auto reverse tilt mirrors, and it might help future members.
Enabling Reverse Mirror Auto Tilt
1) Program the DDM & PDM module according to Livinitup's spreadsheet. Cycle the ignition on/off as Forscan tells you to, then disconnect Forscan from the truck.
2) Exit and lock the truck.
3) Unlock the truck and get back in the truck.
4) Start up the truck, put it in reverse, and select the left/right mirror button, and be amazed that now your F150 has auto reverse tilt!
Now when it comes to calibrating the reverse auto tilt mirror, I also had to exit, lock and unlock the truck for the mirror adjustment to stick. I just appended my exit lock/unlock steps from above to the calibration steps found in this massive thread.
Calibrating Reverse Mirror Auto Tilt
1) Switch the ignition on
2) Press the memory button (1, 2, or 3)
3) Select the mirror you want to adjust
4) Put your foot on the brake, shift your vehicle into reverse (R) and let the mirror automatically tilt until it stops. Do not start up the truck!
5) When the mirror is in its tilted position and is no longer moving, adjust it with the controls to however you want the mirror to be when it is tilted down.
6) Hold the memory button for 5 seconds to save the setting
7) Press the mirror button and return to park (P)
8) Hold memory button again
9) Exit and lock the truck.
10) Unlock the truck and get back in the truck.
11) Start up the truck, put it in reverse, and select the left/right mirror button, and be amazed that now your F150 has auto reverse tilt!
