I don't want to make this thread any longer without contributing information but I don't know where else to turn.
After reading this thread for weeks, I finally made the decision to do the foglight drl mod. I used the settings in the very first post and it doesn't take. Instead I get steady interior light flashing until I revert the settings. Any help would be appreciated.
Daytime Running Lamp - Enabled
Daytime Running Lamp Type - Fog lights (also tried corner lamps with same result)

8/24/17 UPDATE: I followed jdunk54nl's suggestions in post #2825 and edited the values using the Advanced Method from the original tutorial and it worked flawlessly. Thanks a million jdunk54nl!

So using the Forscan Tutorial google doc sheet found in this thread, I followed the instructions on the "Programming - Easy method"
As mentioned above I changed the DRL Mode to ENABLE and the Type to FOG LIGHTS.

There have been a lot of known issues with the easy method, use the "harder" method. If that doesn't work come back.

On a side note: I have replaced the factory fog lamps with the morimoto LED fog light assembly. Does anyone see a problem with the LED fogs going on and off as I use high beams? I'd rather not do the bambi fog mod to keep it legal for inspection.

Hey All,
I was going back through the thread for PATS programming stuff and I couldn't' find confirmation of what i was looking for. All I found was people adding a 3rd or more keys to their collection.
I only have 1 key right now for my truck. I was going to add another OEM purchased key. Can anyone confirm that forscan can program both keys with only having one original?
The only reason I ask is that it was brought up in the 2015+ section by someone asking the same question and livinitup said it was not possible for forscan to program the keys for this situation. Is that just a 2015+ issue?

But I thought forscan could program them similarly as IDS does (or whatever program the dealership uses), which can program an additional key without needing 2 admin to begin with.
All I found in the thread though was people using it to program remote start keys on top of their two original.
