My F150 uses about 4 clicks on the radio to cover the same range of volume levels than my Taurus does with 10 clicks.

If the newer f150's do not have that option, I am doubtful that these ones will. I would be surprised if we have an option that the newers do not.

I have all the APIM info and will be making 3 separate spreadsheets for those too (Sync1, Sync 1.1, Sync2) as time permits so check back periodically. It takes some time to map out the info to the address structure that FORScan uses. I believe I also have the correct info for SCCM as well so I'll check into that also as time permits.

Looking for feedback on anyone that has use forscan to change the tire ratio, how good does it work? I'm switching from a 55 to a 60 profile tire this weekend and will be updating my BCM with the new hex for that tire profile.

I recently tried to do this (upgraded from 275/55r20 to 275/60r20) and was unsuccessful. Based on my forum research, it's hit or miss up to 2014, with the majority being unsuccessful up to '13; limited success has been reported on the '14s. I purchased an SCT x4 recently on a black Friday deal and adjusted successfully, as well as tuned my truck; two birds one tuner...

I was reviewing the line to change for tire size (726-45-01). So theoretically you changing what the BCM thinks is the gear ratio?

No. Gear ratio and tire size are 2 separate parameters, but are both line 726-45-01.

Your right, I was reading the line wrong. Gear change involves manipulating the 1st set of hex values while tire change is the 2nd set.

I have used Forscan with Windows and a USB cable for a while without any issues. I just bought the ScanTool ODBLink MX+ that I saw recommended on here to monitor with my iPhone. It connects to my iPhone just fine via Bluetooth, however Forscan Lite just shows No ELM Found. I tried the ODBLink App and it connects and shows data just fine, but I want to use Forscan.
Does anyone have and thoughts on getting this to work?
