A millions thanks doesn't even begin to convey my level of appreciation for this information.
I completed 9 changes to my truck so far and its been a piece of cake with all the information / tutorial information that you have available / maintain.
I really appreciate the time you've sunk into this, you are awesome!

Now, I wont get into how long it took me to figure out that BdyCM = BCM hahaha

This is a case of me taking something for granted and not explaining it so I've renamed the BCM spreadsheet to BCM (BdyCm) and made a note at the top of the Common spreadsheet on row 2.

Awesome!
It was pretty funny, I got this to take care of auto start/stop, and for the life of me BCM wasn't in the list and I was cursing. I did all the other changes and scratched my head for an hour in the truck, googled around and eventually found threads of similar confusion, then the light bulb wen't off and I slapped myself.

So this may be a dumb question. When I fire up ForScan there is no ACM module for me to work with. Does this just mean I don't have the ACM anymore after installing my 3rd party head unit? And in that case, I would imagine I cannot go in an turn on the external sub in anyway in that case? Or even change the speaker setting?

Ah, yeah, the ACM would be gone being its the radio.

Is there a way to get the changes for Global Windows to show on the same page since it comes up so many times as not working?

So with no ACM, is there any way to activate an external sub using the factory cable behind the drivers side rear?

No, the ACM is gone, anything that has to do with the radio is gone when its removed. I'm sure the plugs with the wires for the former ACM are there yet.

EDIT: You'll have to figure out how to enable the external sub on your 3rd party head unit, you can use the existing wires that go back there for anything you want.

Afternoon everyone.....I couldn't find a definitive answer so forgive me if its already discussed. I did a few forscan changes and happy so far. My truck is a 2018 XL Screw with 3 button remote and I noticed there's an option to enable remote start aftermarket enable with forscan. Can anyone explain what this is for and if it will work with my truck?
Thanks
