FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck

Is there any way to program the APIM or a new Instrument panel outside of the car using forscan?
There must be because people program new instrument panels and APIM's then sell them. No way one would be installing and removing that many times just to program.

I think those people set up their own bench equipment. I don’t know that there is anything available commercially.

Haven't read through all the pages here, WAAY too many pages! So, sorry if this has been asked, and answered already... I didn't see it on the "cheat sheet" as one of the settings though, I want to set the DRL's as the parking lights and fogs. I see I can set it where either are the DRL's but not both. However it shows you can do headlights and parking lights, so I was just wondering if this was possible so I didn't have to turn the switch every time, and I could just always leave it in the auto position.

Hi all, I just wanted to thank Livnitup for his amazing job… 
went to https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt to download my modules with my VIN #
I got my ELMconfig (usb) yesterday so I tried it this morning and it works fine. It’s really funny (and a little scary) to play with it…

Here you go boys... let me know. This one was fun to figure out. I was previously restricted to low beams only and any other change would give an invalid configuration error in FORScan. Well this changes that...
Thread for all DRL discussion (to not clutter up this one): https://www.f150forum.com/f118/setti...t-find-380225/
Allow All Alternate DRL Options (Restrictions Removed - No Invalid Configuration Errors):

Allow All DRL Choices:
726-45-01: xxxx 7Fxx xxxx
Enabled DRL Selection:
726-50-01: XXxx
XX:
01 = Disabled / Parking Lights Only (See change below)
02 = Low Beams
04 = Front Fog Lamps
08 = Front Turn Lamps
10 = Dedicated DRL Lights (LED Light Bars/Strips) - Enables BCM DRL Outputs - C2280F (F-150) Pins 36 (Right) and 40 (Left)
20 = High Beams
40 = Low Beams and Dedicated DRL Lights
Optional: Enable DRL Parking Lights:
Can be combined with other DRL options above
726-26-02: x1xx xxxx xxxx
Optional: Disable DRL Switchback w/Turn Signal:
726-26-02: xxx0 xxxx xxxx
On/Off for these is controlled from the Instrument Cluster DRL Control.
I know many of you change wiring and such to accomplish some of these which can be now changed in seconds... so enjoy!

Note: To test... DRLs are only active when vehicle is on, headlight switch is in automatic headlights position, and transmission is in Drive. Engine does not have to be running and E-Brake can be engaged.

While it's nice to have to ability to download module data from motorcraft, the BEST thing you can do for yourself is to save YOUR OWN module data yourself, and make multiple copies on all sorts of storage media - and do this BEFORE you make any programming changes. You only get one chance to save your factory data - after that .... you can pay Ford to clean up your mistakes for you.
