Livnitup, just wanted to say thank you! I put the new tank in and used your 36 gal values and all is good!

Will be getting a modified ELM327 soon and today thought of something I would like to change.
When you momentarily push the turn signal stalk to change lanes there are only 3 flashes of the turn signal ~ 2 seconds. I would like to increase this to about 5 seconds to allow complete lane change before the signal goes off.
Any idea where this might be located or if it can be changed using FORScan?
Thanks, CaptZap

Auto Headlight Activation Speed
Right now, the Auto Headlight Activation Speed is around 34mph (~20kph).
Since we have no street lights (mostly) in little old Prescott and we live on a kinda rural street, although only 2 miles from "Downtown", I would prefer to lower the threshold to more like 15-20MPH since I find they otherwise work pretty well for me.... and yes, I can manually do it myself before some wise ***** suggests that.....LOL. I am an early FORScan adopter and I have poked around trying to find if the value to see if it can be modified with no luck. If anyone stumbles upon this please post...
Special thanks go out to Livnitup for all the discovery and documentation work.... you have enabled our creative minds to go far beyond what Ford perhaps intended for us to have/do and you allowed us to do mods that dealers/Ford would NEVER do for us..... well.... maybe at some Stealerships that would charge ton$ to do what we can do ourselves......AZPLAT

I was about to ask a similar question, I tow an enclosed car hauler that has a camera on the back. I would like to input the trailer camera in place of the camera in the tailgate when towing to monitor what is behind me on the highway. In the past I used a standalone monitor sitting on the dash of my old F250 but it would be nice to use the existing hardware that is already in the new truck. I see by the response to this post that is it currently being investigated which is great news.

Keep in mind that the tailgate camera while looking very simple it is not. It touches bases with at least 6 modules to get it to display on the MFT. your request will be one tough nut to break...

Would it make sense to bold the actual position that makes the change? I know I have a few different lines in my lariat and wouldn't want to change all the values for fear of undesirable results.

I thought of another one to add to the dream list. Emergency braking without cruise control on. I don't know why they didn't do this from the factory, all the components are there. Im sure they are holding it back for new feature on a later model.
