Just checking- you are pressing the button of the mirror you want to tilt in reverse?

I liked someone else's idea of just setting seat position 3 to the same setting as your seat, but with the mirrors tilted down. You can then reach over and hit seat one and put the mirros back.

Question. I have access to IDS Fords computer system. Would I be about to make the changes like FOREScan does?

Yes, but it will be very painful. You have to enter every single value for that module, just to make the change you want. There's a few other tricks, but it's honestly easier to just use forscan.

Thanks for the reply looking for someone in mass that would like to make some changes for me in exchange for cash or tint work.
I don't wanna do the FOREScane myself one cause I'm not good with computer stuff and two with the availability of ISS at my disposal if diag needs to be done I just use it.

Default Tire Size and Auto-Unlock?

Hey Folks,
Thanks so much for all your knowledge on the Forscan modules. I have some computer programming background (I know hexidecimal) so much of this makes sense, but I have two things that I'm struggling with:

First, I've changed tire sizes from the original on my 2016 XLT SuperCrew to the size on the 4x4 (looks much better, IMO). I need to change the tire dimensions from

original - 265/60-18 30.5" diameter, 95.8" circumference
to : 275/65-18 32" diameter, 100.7" circumference
to correct fuel calcs, DTE, and odo/speedo.

I saw where tire circumference was listed in APIM 7D0-07-03, but also in BCM 726-12-01. So which do I change?, and what value do I input? Is the value in mm or inches? (..you can see my quandry...). I saw the notes about the tire sizes the folks figured out with their GPS, but what are those numbers based on? I couldn't find any consistency in the different Hex numbers listed that woudl clue me in (sorry, I may be just missing it...)

Second, what I'd LOVE to change is I want all the doors to unlock when I put the vehicle in park. Nothing more annoying than jumping out of the parked, running truck and going to a locked tailgate. No other vehicle I own prevents unlocking all doors automatically in park. There's gotta be some way to over-ride this (I was told by the dealer it's a safety feature so I don't get car-jacked??) I just can find out where. Any help or suggections would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for all your help. You're a great bunch of knowledgeable folks.

You only need to change the BCM 726-12-01 values for the tire size change. So for that size tire start with 726-12-01 xxxx 09AB xxxx.The values you see on this spreadsheet are guys that fine tuned their BCM values after using a GPS speedometer app on a mobile device to get it perfect.

There has been nothing found that would unlock all doors when you put the truck in Park.
