I also have Ford IDS, but I haven't played with it much because I drive Ford's and they don't need to be worked on...... or something like that, LOL.
Whitey...do you have the IDS controller module or are you using a DTC port to computer hardware and IDS software program? If it's a software, we need to talk. LOL I need to swap 2 codes for my ABS on my 07 Mustang to turn off the light on my cluster. I've done the cluster swap to 6 gauges, and the only thing I couldn't stop was this light. I have the codes from an 08 and vin info to program the changes but not the module. A buddy on Mustang Source has one and has given me info etc. I got the correct codes from a tech at Ford, but haven't done it yet.

I let my IDS expire. There are so many aftermarket programs and devices available now I'm on the fence about if it's really worth it anymore. I was looking at this:

Hmmm... I tried. LOL.

I can probably do it.... at least the Bambi part. I researched that a while back when someone wanted to know how to do "Bambi" to gen 10's.

I didn't think the Bambi thing was real! lol My thoughts were F150 humor about something like deer whistles and road kill avoidance devices. Wore this hat a couple of times today. I'm improving!

Yeah, I know. I know, no politics. But, I know of someone with a long history of never finishing what he starts and if they had any clue they would be the one that pisses their pants and cry's. What an emotional and intellectual moron. If wishes were real mine would be that the moron had to be there. Maybe feeling real anger, fear and rage would wake the MF up.

Dont like the guy. He is brash and definitely not presidential but I'm not willing to blame this on him.

While I agree, I believe something should have been done. They killed Americans.

I am also scared... he's a loose cannon. I believe that if we go to war, he's a shoe in for a second term. I want someone more middle-of-the-road in the white house. I was really hoping Jon Huntsman would give it another go, but it looks like he's running for Governor here again.
