Did you get an extended license for forscan? You'll need that before you can make any changes.

Ape (or anyone else), please start a new thread on this tailgate ajar mod somewhere else and feel free to leave a link here to it. Just because some mod you're interested in involves 1 FORScan change doesn't mean that makes it ok to have pages of this thread taken up with wiring info on it. I've asked you do this many times over the course of this thread to do this but you just ignore that and choose to use this thread for any mod you're interested in. Please keep this thread limited to FORScan programming/questions/discussion only.

I've had the Lincoln style autofold mirrors programmed for a few months now and I find it to be a bit too much folding for me. Is there a way to only have it autofold out?
I would like to be able to press the folding button when I need to have it to fold in, but once i unlock my truck and shut the driver door they fold out automatically.
I realize my request is a little ridiculous so don't bash me too much for it. I can just press the button and not be lazy if I need too lol.

There's nothing for that; it's all or nothing.

That is what I figured, thanks for the quick response!

...question about using FORScan to recalibrate the speedometer for optional tire sizes in lieu of using a Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator.

My wife's 2015 F150 4x4 XLT came with factory installed 275/65R18 tires. Along with the lift kit, the axle ratio was changed from 3.31 to 3.73 and tire size was changed to LT325/60R20. I have always used a handheld Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator to adjust the speedometer and currently the speedometer is very accurate. However, it's a PITA having to flash back to stock before taking the truck in for any warranty work that may involve reflashing any of the modules. Note: the dealer always requires me to flash back to stock when troubleshooting any vehicles systems. Additionally, when I use the Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator to recalibrate the speedometer, the device almost always has to have the firmware updated if the truck has had a PCM calibration update.

With the speedometer calibrated for the 3.73 axle ratio and LT325/60R20 tires using the Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator, the BCM value at 726-12-01 is xxxx 0A5D xxxx. When I flash back to stock I'm sure that value will revert back to the factory As Built value of xxxx 09AB xxxx.

Next time I flash back to stock, can I simply use FORScan to enter the same BCM value at 726-12-01 as when the speedometer was adjusted using the Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator ( xxxx 0A5D xxxx) without any other changes to any of the modules or addresses and I assume the speedometer will be properly calibrated for the 3.73 axle ratio and LT325/60R20 tires? From my research, since this is a 2015 and not a 2017 or newer, I shouldn't need to perform the PCM/TCM relearn procedure. All should be good with no further need to flash back to stock when going to the dealer for warranty work involving flashing of any of the modules?

So, I tried looking, but if there is anything on this, it's been drowned out by the more obvious topics. I have a '15 XLT with the small screen radio. Is there a way to make it where I can check an incoming text message on screen instead of only being able to be read aloud? My first thought was maybe try the NAV in motion 5753 code, but wasn't sure if it'd be the same line as the touchscreen units, and didn't want to just go changing things given my lack of familiarity. Will the 5753 code still work for me, is it something else, or do I just continue with the small irritation? Thanks for what you guys do!

If you use FORScan to revert to stock settings then it should be changing the axle ratio as well as the tire size to stock (providing your FORScan BCM backup occurred before changing her axle ratio). Since you originally used the Hypertech for the speedometer calibration you can now just use FORScan to go to stock or current values without the need for the Hypertech anymore. The reason I say this is because guys with 2015-2016s who only used FORScan to change tire size will often have a certain DTC (can't remember it off the top of my head) that isn't the P160A DTC. The PCM relearn procedure will only clear the P160A DTC so some guys are stuck with that other DTC.

I originally used a Hypertech on my truck after I did my lift and 35" tires and hadn't touched tire size with FORScan until after that and now I can change tire size to any value in BCM with FORScan and I never get any of those DTCs. So I believe that something about having used the Hypertech originally allows this and I've never seen the DTC for tire size that is very typical for 2016s. I hope all this is making sense but long story short...I don't think you need to use the Hypertech at all anymore and you can use FORScan exclusively for tire size changes and the axle ratio if you need to do it.

The As Built values for the axle ratio have never been changed from when it was shipped from the factory. The values are still set for the 3.31 axle ratio - not the 3.73 axle ratio.

It's been a while since I used my Hypertech so I didn't remember if it also did axle ratio as well as tire size but the Hypertech does change the values at 726-12-01 xxxx **** xxxx
