FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck

It's my first day
Nice! Let us know the test result ! In the meantime,
I re-activated auto start stop with Forscan. I also tried to disconnect the connector on the negative pole of battery to achieve a “electrical” way to deactivate start stop: DTC has stored and same message. So the electrical way has the same effect as Forscan deactivation.
Until I learn more about the collateral effects of Forscan deactivation, I’ll continue to shut it off with the dash button.

All I can add is that I found that auto/stop start disable trigger by loading the as built data from a barrel-ignition-start 2016 Platinum 5.0L F150 onto my truck (VIN for reference: 1FTFW1EFXGFB18463) and working my way backwards. If setting 726-48-02 X0XX XXXX XXXX is as devastating as some users claim, I wonder why these forums aren't full of 2015 and 2016 owners complaining of battery and BMS problems when it's the default as-built value Ford chose for several thousand F150's.

It's good to know both methods produce the same DTC.

What are you asking? What's the situation and details? All I see is pictures.

Originally when swapping the APIM I couldn’t even get into the APIM cells and my truck was loading as a Lincoln because that’s what it was from. After a few tried it finally let me put my as builts in

How long does it take to get authentication for the free version of FORScan? I've been waiting roughly a week and would like to make a few changes on the 2019 which was delivered on Friday.
Thanks

When AA stops playing media, the radio starts, is there anyway to stop this?
As the title states... Whenever media stops playing through AA, whether it's Spotify or Pocket casts, the last radio channel comes blaring through the speakers within seconds. This is a huge issue for me as I live in one city and work in another and it's just far enough away that static is common. This is my only problem with this wonderful truck... I've reached out to many service departments about this issue with no resolve. I'm sure it's a "feature", but one I'd love to live without. I've searched the forum and couldn't find anything, but maybe my wording was tricky. I was wondering if anybody knew of a FORScan solution that would keep this "feature" at bay and stay on current media or at least just peace and quiet, not blaring static or radio station. I've tried to leave it on an empty Sirius channel but it always reverts back to AM/FM radio. Thanks guys!

I do believe it's automated. Mine has always come back within seconds. Check your junk mail and see if it's there, or verify you entered your email address correctly?
