According to this post: https://www.f150forum.com/f30/forsca...2018-a-405112/

It doesn't work, B&O is a very different setup from the Sony. I haven't seen a follow up to this or if there are new Forscan codes for the 2018 B&O though.

Just finished my system last night. The Forscan low level out/ de eq mod worked perfectly in my 2015 XLT Non Sony 8" w/Nav. Sending low level out via 9 wire to RCA.
Used the Parrot Harness FOR11CK to avoid cutting into factory wiring harness.

Zapco ST-4X SQ : Mids / SB Acoustics 6.5" SB17NRXC35-4. Tweeters / Tang Bang 25-2176S 1" Compact Soft Dome Neodymium 4 ohm.
Zapco 850 XM : Helix E12W. Sealed under rear seat enclosure. Volume .80 cft
Audison Bitone DSP.

Full sound deadening on front doors with CNC milled aluminum panels to fill door openings. Sound is much improved over stock system. Currently have 3 tunes setup for different crossover settings and listening requirements.

The install I just finished didn't require flattening the signal or using the forscan for low-level inputs. There were zero hissing sounds in the speakers and the LOC handled the signal perfectly.

For those of you that have used Forscan to create low level outputs, does the center channel speaker remain powered by the deck (not line level)? I want the center to remain powered by the stock Ford HU while my amplifiers power the door speakers and sub....

I am going to stick one of these in the dash:

It is only $15. If I can't get it to blend, I will just disconnect it.

I can save you the $15. You won't

Also I don't think you can flatten the signal & disable the stock EQ and still do what you describe. Even if you could it would sound terrible.

Yeah you can't disable all speakers but the center channel. You wouldn't want to do that either because it will sound like crap. It'll be at a different volume level than your other speakers, probably louder too. Just disconnect it, you'll be happier. If you're going to all the trouble of adding an amp and aftermarket speakers, do it right all the way.

Yes, I have my front and rear door speakers outputting line/low level, and the centre channel is still speaker/high level out of the ACM.
