You also need the correct physical buttons. I enable this on my wife's explorer but the global up didn't work because the switch only had the down function.

I have the correct switch (for the front windows anyways) that will do auto up/down and the setting for global window in BCM still hasn't enabled it so I'm left thinking it's not going to be possible on our trucks.

Is there a post or can someone make one with a user guide / step by step process from connecting, scanning, adjusting codes? I'd like to do this but would like to have a guide. Also is there a list of the codes that work and what functions can be changed?

Does anyone have an idea if there is some sort of calibration for the onboard MPG processor? Mine reads a consistent 9 -11% better than actual and it drives me nuts. There must be a way to calibrate this - probably in the IPC “as-built” memory locations. A few GM tuners I know told me this is not typically in the PCM.

is this possible?

I'd love to do it to the Anzo's, without having to turn on the parking/signal lights on

(Your vehicle may not support all these options - FORScan will give an error if it doesn't when you try to write)

Disabled - 017F
Low Beams - 0280
Front Fog Lamps - 0482
Front Turn Lamps - 0886
Dedicated DRL - 108E
High Beams - 209E
Low Beams and Dedicated DRL - 40BE
-

You can try those and if FORScan gives an error when you write them, then no.
