ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

So far I think the only option that you have for DRL in regards to the switchback is either use turns and it'll be amber but the rear tail lights will not come on with DRL or use parking lamp and that will use your white parking bulb as DRL.but the trade off is that the rear tail light will come on as well.

That's the conclusion that I have come to unless can figure out how to rewire the sockets but then I would have flashing white lights for turn signals. I haven't tried the 1/2 bright headlights but I read that it will not work with HIDs apparently there isn't enough power to fire the lamps.

I'm confused what you're trying to do.

Tried the fog lights? White and seemingly made to be DRLs. As DRLs they turn on automatically in daylight and automatically turn off when it gets dark. Both functions are independent of the headlights or headlight switch. The fog light icon lights next to the headlight switch and the giant green icon on the dashboard (can be turned off).

When it's dark the fog lights function like -- wait for it! -- fog lights -- and dependent on the headlight switch setting. Unless you set them on they stay off in the dark. If set for Auto and the switch pulled out the headlights and the fog lights come on automatically. If the switch is pushed in the fogs remain off when it's dark regardless if the switch setting.

Bambi setting is non-related to the DRL settings either.

Anyone come across the codes to add additional gauges to our display, I.E. Boost, Actual Temps or pressures?

So far, no. Been working on it. So far none of the changes have the desired result!

Been a while since there was anything new happening in here, so I figured I'd bump this up now that I've found a little time to tweak things again. I updated ads245's spreadsheet with a couple of things I can't quite recall seeing confirmed previously. I added turning off the seatbelt minder chimes as well as 'Dark Car Mode' which I recall a few inquiries about, but never any confirmation it works on the 15+ model. I can confirm it worked for me.

What are the challenges that need investigating further? Other than the auto-folding mirrors, my tow mirrors don't exactly have power-fold unfortunately.

Do you have a link to the spreadsheet?

Thanks. I would love to find the answer to that secure idle feature.

The one where you can't take the truck out of drive if the key isn't present in the vehicle?
Afraid I can't answer that one either, as my truck is old-fashioned and still uses a regular key.

Yes I've been told, I haven't tried it, but if you walk away with your truck running and the key in your pocket, someone can hop in and drive it until they turn it off.
