You won't be able to accomplish it with Forscan alone.

Need to help narrowing down a setting. Is there a way to turn the panic alarm completely off? My alarms is so sensitive it goes off daily with only a loud vehicle driving by it. I have seen a few selections referring to horn, but dont really want just the lights going off. Would like to have it totally disabled if possible.

You would need something like this hardwired in to locks or something like you are thinking: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Auto-Fold-Unfold-Side-Rear-View-Mirror-Folding-Closer-System-Module/

ok I have a few questions...
just did all the backing up of the modules tonight and saved them all under Module.original.abt etc....
First, MY FORScan only found 19 modules on my 2018 XLT Sync 3. Does that sound right?
Second, while saving all of the addresses in the respective .abt file, there were some yellow exclamation points saying the code was too long can it couldn't write it so it left it out. Is that normal?
Last, why do we not want to save the very first PCM (AS Built) module...? I probably would answer my own question if I knew what the acronym was but if someone could shed some light on these it would be great!
So what now? Now that I have all of the "stock" modules saved, I can go and change the appropriate codes and addresses? And if I ever have doubts I can just"flash" (for lack of a better word) and load all stock codes back?
Just trying to make sure... I know my dumbass is going to **** something up.

I seem to remember that ForScan won't read a file back in if the name has more than one period (".") in it. You need to rename all of those files to change that first period to something else, like "Module_original.abt" or "Module-original.abt".

I'm currently trying to figure out how I want to do this because I will be loading my 5* tunes I just got as well...I'm thinking it might be easier just to do that on the BDX rather than messing with it in FORscan...
