Thanks. Maybe I should have been more clear. I purchased the app based remote start and am curious as to how to turn it on in Forscan, or do I need to take to the dealer to get it turned on?

Ok I'll ask again. Is it possible to add the "miles to e" underneath the gauge on a 16 XLT?

I believe all XLTs have analogue fuel gauges. At which point there is no screen by the gauge to add the distance to empty. On a lariat like mine, it has digital gauges that show the distance to empty from the factory. No modification needed.

Install it yourself using the attached instructions. Then contact the dealer where you bought it and they activate it for cell phone access.

For those who have added navigation to their MFT Sync 2 are you using the A6 or A7 nav SD card? I'm going to turn this feature on with Forscan but wanted to make sure I get the right card.
I have read the entire forum a few times now , and have done a few of the forscan mods. I can't seem to find the info I am looking for to find out if it's a fairly easy and not too expensive mod to add navigation to a 2015 xlt.
Could anyone chime in and direct me to where I could find the info pls? Or just give me the yay or nay to whether I should bother doing it ? Cost wise? I have a tom tom already but if it's an easy mod and not ridiculously expensive I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
Thanks.

Do you have the 8" SYNC 2 screen?

Follow the directions here if you have the 8" screen and then the only cost is about $50-65 for an A7 map card: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=235197340

** This is only for Sync 2

I'm hoping someone can help me out with global windows. I've followed the procedures for programming global windows, but it is not working. I have only modified a couple of things in Forscan (activating subwoofer and changing the kicker speaker settings), and it has worked, so I feel like I know what I am doing, but this is not working.

Is there a trick to programming this one? A sequence I might be missing? Is removing the key and then turning the truck back on sufficient for the off/on cycle?

(I've also used various delays and made multiple attempts to attempt the keyfob to recognize my input). Also, I have a 2017 STX if that might make a difference.
