FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck

If you live in the Cold north you may not want Auto fold mirrors. When the snow and ice build up on them they don't fold so well, and I return them back to manual fold.. I just leave them that way now. Same as the running boards on the Plat. I turn them off in the winter because of the ice and slush. Just an FYI
not a big deal to revert back to AB and then reconfigure if needed.
maybe I will revert to AB, then create a file for "winter" settings and another for "summer" settings. Is this what you do?

is there an easy way to do this without returning the DDM and PDM modules completely back to As Built? I have the AB files saved, but not written down so I don't know what to change just to update this feature without changing everything else which uses the 'new" settings for those modules.

One thing i did when i forgot to take a snipit (screen print of the changes).. I knew what field references I changed. (the ones from the excel file) I just loaded up forscan, went into that module loaded all from the original saved file, went to those specifice ranges that were changed and took a screen shot of them.. or you can write them down.. then all you need to do is exit out of forscan without writing and you have your data and you didnt write them back over to the truck..
Also yes if you are going to be changing regularly, its much faster and easier to make/keep two sets for quick flashing back and forth. The only cumbersome process is if you make addtional changes, you will need to make sure you make them to both sets and resave the file.

You might have an older version that does not have the 2018 signature in it.
I recommend that you update Forscan to the latest version from the website and try again.

You can change tire size in BCM but you'll have a persistent DTC in PCM because PCM has tire size recorded there also but we can't change PCM. If you don't care about the DTC follow the link below and directions at that address:
BCM 726-12-01 : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...730/edit#gid=0
BCM 726-12-01 : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...730/edit#gid=0
I saw that the 2018’s could do the relearn which updates the PCM and removes the DTC.
Thank you.

Thanks for all of your hard work on the tutorial and spreadsheets @Livnitup
I used the latest beta version of FORScan and the OBDLink MX+ to make the following changes to my 2019 F 150 KR:
I used the latest beta version of FORScan and the OBDLink MX+ to make the following changes to my 2019 F 150 KR:
- Autofold mirrors (not Lincoln style) - I like that my mirrors now fold when I press the lock button on the handle and unfold when I touch the back of the handle to unlock. I had been hitting the switch for the last 6 years on my old 2013 F 150 KR every time I got in or out.
- Enabled auto relock after 45 secs
- Added heated and cooled seat icons to go with my existing heated steering wheel icon on the home screen
- Disabled double honk

Would this be the line to update if I wanted the fog lights to come on with the auto headlights? (essentially auto fog lights?)
