Really appreciate the time and effort. Crazy how customizable the truck is through IDS.

It would be a nice tool to own for sure.

Download the "as built" from Ford's PTS website, save it, store it in the specified file so you can open it with the IDS, then there you have it.

You can also hex edit the as built if you have a byte map, kinda fun....

OK, call me a newb, but what is IDS and how does one access it? I REALLY WANT the "Dark Car, aka "Police Mode" activated!

Is the power point time out on the first page a way to stop the 12V outlets from turning off after a few minutes?

I believe this is it. Watch the video and then you will know why he does not want to do this for everyone. It is quite a process
