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 am CERTAIN it was all the NAV stuff that pushed things over the line. I understand Ford's wanting to defend their and dealers' revenue from NAV, so I was just waiting 'till the sticky went bye bye.....smile.... AZPLAT


PS.... especially to newbies.....rather than (or in addition to) posting a thanks message, just remember to hit the "Thanks" icon on the lower right to give authors of helpful posts recognition for their contributions..... just saying....

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

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)
