Default Forscan applications

I thought a list of useful changes (with description) using Forscan would be handy.
Things like...
1. Eliminating the "double honk"
2. Disable or change to type 2 DRL setting

I am sure there are many more. Please add yours with a description of where to find and how to modify the values.

I posted the following in the defunct sticky thread as well if it helps anyone:

I finished mapping out all the FORScan PID changes for the BCM module and documented the addresses in a spreadsheet. Below is a link to that spreadsheet for anyone interested. It is only useful for those looking to find new, undocumented features in the BCM module who want to know which addresses are already spoken for and to concentrate their testing to different addresses. The build data shown is my 2016 truck (info in signature) and while the spreadsheet lists the FORScan PIDs, I'm not making any claim to whether that PID actually does what it says. I simply applied the PIDs listed and documented which address it changed and the values.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

Edit: It would be great if a Mod could make this thread a sticky since the other one is hidden from view & closed

DRL normally means Day Time Running Lights
Type 2 I have no clue about.

also I highly recommend the double honk mod for anyone who hasn't done it yet.

per the manual there are 2 types of DRL configurations."Type-1 Conventional" (Non-Configurable, this is the type we have in Canada) "Type-2 Configurable" (this type may be found in USA trucks). Type-2 will enable the DRL check box in the Information Display which is currently not there in our Canadian trucks (Type-1)
