Looks like they have bluetooth adapters modded with the MS-CAN switch as well on Ebay like I did per the instructions in post #1 in this thread before I bought my MX BT. Put in "forscan" in the search bar and scroll down to see.

Can anyone help with their values for the add-on Kicker Sub & Amp...

I finally uploaded the extended license into FORScan with help from Livnitup.

I know I'm writing values correctly as I have successfully activated "Bambi" mode.

I used the values on Livnitup's spreadsheet for both versions (6 & 7 speaker) of the supercrew, with no success. I've searched the FORScan thread and have read that another member used values that are different from the spreadsheet with positive results. I've tried the simple method and the advanced method, and checked the connections of the amp's harness. Everything seems ok?

Also, I understand Livnitup doesn't have the same model, so his values will be different..

I have a 2016 XLT with the 302a package, 8" screen with Nav.

Thanks all.

So I read a thread you posted in about the kicker sub purchase and someone in there says they got it working with one of the plain English settings in FORScan for ACM so I'm confused why yours isn't working. In APIM module you do have a "2" in the following position right? 7D0-01-01 2xxx xxxx xxxx

Edit: also you can run a speaker test in APIM module by selecting AM/FM radio source and doing the following:
• For vehicles with a CD player, press and hold the EJECT button, and within 1 second, press and hold
the SEEK UP button. If supported, the Speaker Walk-Around Test (All Speaker Test) will begin, and the
display will indicate each speaker as it is tested.
• For vehicles without a CD player, simultaneously press and hold the steering wheel SEEK UP switch and
FCIM TUNE UP button. If supported, the Speaker Walk-Around Test (All Speaker Test) will begin, and the
display will indicate each speaker as it is tested.

Is there any way to disable the lock on the DVD/GPS for when the car is moving, using Forscan?

Asked a page or two back, apparently not with Sync3.

Success!

I now have my Kicker sub & amp enabled.

My trepidation of changing more than necessary caused me to overlook a simple fix.

On the Plain English Page in the ACM, the top line needs to be changed also. The top line should be written as "Auxilliary sub woofer" in addition to enableing the correct model of truck (supercab or supercrew & 6 or 7 speaker system) + Kicker Sub.

Write both of those changes, and you'll have the Sub & Amp activated.

Then you can check their operability using the method Livnitup recommended, based on the type of radio you have. It will cycle through all the speakers with a Hearing Test sound played through each individual speaker.

Thanks again Livnitup!

Thanks, I changed the wording on spreadsheet for ACM 727-01-01 to read "Auxiliary External Subwoofer ** use this for aftermarket kicker sub & amp along with one of the 727-01-02 choices below **

just for future new people reference, for those adding the factory sub you just need to use the plain english setting in the acm you will see these screens





note you are adding a speaker, so if you have a scab and u installed a sub you need to choose scab 6 speaker option.



pick choice 2 aux woofer

Many, many here including myself, have reported that setting these options screws up an aftermarket sound system. It seems that there is processing done to match the lower db rating of the kicker system.

I for one decided to forgo these options and leave everything "undefined/errored" out. The difference is remarkable.

Search the forum for your keywords, result output in posts, not threads.

Its been said many times you can on sync2 and you lose the siriusxm navtraffic and other stuff.
