Got the OBD II plugin to sync with the Bluetooth dongle on my windows 10 laptop. YEA! everything set to AUTO mode.

Backed up all the As Built files, Then backed those up, and finally backed those up.

Changed BCM 726-39-01 to 001E x1xx xxxx to turn off the 12 volt outlets (cigarette lighter plugs) when the door opened and the ignition is off. This was done as I have a dash cam and did not like the 45 minute timeout.

Changed BCM 726-41-02 to xxx0 xxxx xxxx to get ride of the double honk when getting out of the truck. This scared the **** out of the little neighbor girl the first time it happened.

Changed BCM 726-27-01 to xxxx xxx0 01xx for Bambi mode remembered after ignition on/off. I am still not sure what this means vs the not remembered with ignition on/off. If someone can explain the difference it would be greatly appreciated.

Changed APIM 7D0-01-01 to xxxx xxxx x6xx so the heated/cooled seats and steering wheel controls would show up on the sync3 home and climate screens.

Changed IPC 720-01-01 to xxxx xx0x xxxx to turn off the drive and passenger seat belt warning. FLAME SUIT on. Yes I spend a LOT of the time up at the cabin driving on dirt roads below 5MPH and getting in and out of the truck. I am also responsible for my own actions unlike may these days.

I changed one thing at a time with an ignition cycle afterwords. I backed up the modded files when I was done with them

Everything worked very simply and exactly like it is stated in this thread. MANY thanks to all of you here and all of you that made this possible. The truck is now more to my liking.

Mongoose pro is certified by Motocraft for use with FMP so I'm leaning towards that one.

Been wanting to install my dashcam, but havent because I didnt want it staying on after I got out of the truck. (also didnt want to get into hardwiring to fuse panel etc).
