When I did that my DRL is the turn signal but it is lighting up amber not white like it does when the park or low beams are on. Is this something I can fix in FORscan or is it just a function of when the DRL is on it is a lower voltage than usual?
For the white lights of your switchbacks to be DRL, use 726-50-01 10xx, and 726-26-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx

Your turn signal bulbs are dual element. One for parking. one for turn. Separate wires not a voltage thing.
You can change drl to parking lights but that also lights the taillights.

I had an extra digit. I meant 2.4. I didn't want to broadcast that link on this forum, because the dev betas introduce a firmware overwrite feature where users can potentially brick modules. It sounds like they sent you a tailored beta anyway. Glad it worked.

I believe this will turn on the parking lights has DRL as well?

Yes. The white lights of your switchbacks are your parking lights. The rear parks will also be on with this.

Anyone?

Using the high levels from the B&O amp to feed my amp is ridiculous. On a 50hz 0db test tone the output voltage varies by 50% !! In an almost sweep like fashion... Need to fix this.

I haven't had time to map out the 2018 DSP to a spreadsheet yet but I don't see anything in the descriptions to indicate anything that changes the levels.

Default Disable Doo-Doo-Doo failed

Originally posted a note in the FORScan Applications thread and got a reply that this was a better location.

I attempted to disable the Doo-Doo-Doo startup chime. I followed the info on the common changes tab of the spreadsheet. After saving the change I got a message on the main display saying that Drive Mode was unavailable. Started the truck and tapped the drive mode selector button and screen came up blank. Stopped and started the truck again and got the same result. Went back into FORSCAN and reset back to prior values. This resulted in a DTC code. FORSCAN prompted to do a module relearn. After following those instructions, the drive mode capability is back. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Prior to making this change I had implemented the Door Ajar, double horn honk, and engine and trans temp mods.

From spreadsheet common tabisables three "doo-doo-doo" start-up chimes from cluster
IPC720-01-02 xxxx x2xx
Values prior to change 720-01-02 220F 90EB
Updated value 720-01-02 220F 92EB I let FORScan correct the check digit when I did the save.

Trying to decide if I want to attempt the change again.
Truck is a 2018 Platinum 4x4 3.5 EB max tow. Any thoughts on how I may have messed this up?

It seems to me that I remember this happening to someone else when making this change even though this address has nothing to do with drive modes. I'd try again and if it gives you that same message then reset the IPC in FORScan under the wrench icon or power off the truck, open and shut the door so the accessory timeout expires, and then wait until the cluster display fully turns off and then turn the truck on and see if that solves the problem. I remember the other guy this happened to got it working on the 2nd attempt.
