How cool would it be if Sync would cycle thru all the stored wallpapers automatically, say every hour ?

I tried to help program a 2017 XLT the other day and no matter which IPC module I clicked on it wouldn't pull up any values. Was I doing something incorrect or are the '17's different with their programming? I've got the OBD MX Bluetooth tool, have no issues getting into everything on my '16 Lariat, or UNBROKEN's '16 Platinum.

It's a FORScan issue with some 2017s and will hopefully be resolved in the next release. Guys with 2017 Super Duties are unable to write to IPC at all until a new version of FORScan addresses this.

Mileage is stored in the IPC EEPROM and the IPC Firmware ship SPC****. EEPROM usually populates the SPC chip when changed.
I see. So if my truck has 15000 miles and the cluster has 10500 and I don't correct it and take the truck in for service , the stealer can't , shouldn't be able to see that 15000 anywhere ,correct?
I am planning on sending it to anthony soon but till then.....

Default Forscan mod for remote tailgate release?

Now that I installed the damper, any way to use a 500a base Lariat remote to open the tailgate? I know the truck can do it with another remote type. I can also open it remotely with the keypad by pressing 5-6 immediately after unlocking the truck with the keypad.

Purchased an ACM out of an 2015 expedition to enable the HD Radio in my 2015 501 SCREW. I found the 1 or 2 lines in the APIM to modify and got those modified, but some of the values in the spreadsheet didnt match up to values that I had. I made the changes that I knew needed to be made and moved on to program the ACM. I loaded my AS built values into the ACM and then edited the values to enable HD-Radio. Everything works ok, but the seatbelt/warning chimes and object detection beeps no longer are played through the audio system. They are only played through the small speaker somewhere in the dash. Anybody know how to address this? I have searched regarding HD Radio enablement and havent found what I need

SYNC 2 MFT 8" screen

Here are the APIM values that i changed:
7D0-01-01 xxxx xxx2 xxxx to xxxx xxx3 xxxx

ACM Values that I changed:
727-01-01 AsBuillt - 1801 1A08 006B
727-01-01 HD Radio - 1001 1A08 006B
727-01-02 AsBuilt - 0645-7C - Not Altered
727-04-01 AsBuilt - 0001 0255 53DE
727-04-01 HD Radio - 0001 0155 53DE

Anybody have any ideas what I need to change to get the chimes/warnings back?

Correct, however if you have been to the dealership since you were at 10500 or if your truck has synced the mileage through sync (check syncmyride.com) over wifi or cellular then they will know it was changed.

Just unplug the battery for 30 minutes and they should sync back up.
It isn't anything wrong with your asbuilt.
