Just starting to play with Forscan on my 2021 Lariat PB. My question is whether the 2015-2020 settings also work with 2021+. Specifically, I installed some aftermarket Raptor-style grille lights and would like them to be on all the time. I think the "parking lights on with DRL" setting would do the trick, but not sure if it's supported for the 2021+.
Thanks!
No, you'll need to use the values in the 2021 F150 FORScan spreadsheets for the most part but definitely for the parking lights (BCM).
Try this for parking lights on with DRL: BCM 726-38-01 xxxx xxxx 01--
I found my identical ( as in the exact same options and even color) build at a local dealer. Blend date of 8/11/21. Mine had a blend date of 2/24/21. I know a salesperson and had him check it out. He said he was going 15mph and pushed the 360 camera button and it came on. I pulled the as-built data from the Motorcraft site and mine and this new one. I don't have any ForScan deciphering knowledge, but I be willing to help test this if it helps.
I have attached the As-built for the newer one.
I've looked at some of the differences in the asbuilt, and it's as I suspected. The newer trucks have different module part numbers and newer module firmware.
As I see it there are a couple of options:
1: We wait and see if we get the feature when ford pushes out the big BlueCruise OTA Upgrade.
2: We obtain the VBF files and can try to update the modules manually (I haven't been able to find any of the files yet)
If someone knows how to get them then please PM and I will be the guinea pig.

I wondering if is us non-"Prep" package people will get this. I know there was a OTA planned to get Alexa enabled so we'll see.

I did all 7 and the global window feature works fine now. Thanks.
I reattempted to disable the power tailgate chime (which failed) and realized during some testing that we can add a functional Silent Mode toggle to the Vehicle Settings menu. This allows anyone to toggle between Dark Mode & Christmas Tree Mode at any time.
If you have a 12" Sync 4 setup, edit your BCM and APIM as noted below.
Have you got this working? I tried it and dash is still lit up like a christmas tree.

It worked first try. Maybe you have a typo in one of the the APIM or BCM edits or haven’t rebooted Sync 4 yet. You might also need the first IPC config change in the list in addition to the APIM and BCM edits.

I will try the IPC config and yes i have rebooted a few times since the edit. i will check for typos while in there. Thank you for the quick reply.

Are we able to re-calibrate the thermostat on the truck using FORscan?
my trucks thermometer is about 15 degrees off (hotter) then what the temp actually is.
I get that vehicle thermostats are off by a few degrees but I think 15 is way to much.
TIA.
