I'm interested in using the Sync 3 mobile hotspot feature away from the vehicle (up to 50' according to the manual). Will it be necessary to make a Forscan modification in order to make the Sync 3/hotspot stay on after exiting the vehicle? I know that the radio can be set to stay on up to 60 minutes, but will it still cut off if the vehicle is exited? Any suggestions for how to make this happen and for the hotspot to stay on more than 60 minutes? Or, alternatively, can the radio be set to work without turning the ignition on?

Got my cable from Amazon and my extended license from FORScan and as a complete novice was able to:

Disable Auto Start/Stop
Disable double horn honk when I step out vehicle with FOB
Disabled fake engine noise,
(I want to hear the real engine noises and get used to it so
when something isn’t right I can hear it right
away)
Panic Alarm now requires two pushes of the panic button, (Kept going off in my pocket)

All of these functions should be programmable from the driver’s menu IMHO but FORScan did the job for me.

So are there any differences in programming in the Navigator? I wanna make some changes but not sure what to expect.

I suspect your modules are the same or very similar to our Expys...can you share any screenshots of your Modules?

I don’t have the gear yet, have been on the fence on getting it until I figure out if the stuff I read in here will apply or not. I think I’ll pull the trigger though and I’ll upload screen shots once I can.

I believe as a minimum you would be able to make changes to several settings as they are common throughout Fords/Lincoln’s.

I just took delivery of my 2018 Expedition Limited MAX this morning and by noon, I was already playing around with FORScan. Here is what I have found works so far.

Everything listed below has been confirmed working. If you find something you think is of interest that you have confirmed working, please feel free to add it here so we can build a google doc of all the available modifications.

Here is what I've come up with so far:

Code:
BdyCM    726-41-02    xxx0 xxxx xxxx    Disable No Key Present Double Honk

BdyCM    726-27-01    xxxx xxx0 xxxx    Enable Fogs On w/ LED headlamps

BdyCM    726-48-02    x0xx xxxx xxxx    Disable Auto Start Stop

APIM     7D0-01-01    xxxx xxxx xExx    Enable On-Screen H/C Seat Buttons

APIM     7D0-01-01    9xxx xxxx xxxx    Disable Sirius As Audio Source

APIM     7D0-02-01    5753 xxxx xxxx    Data Entry While Vehicle Moving


At this time, whenever I try to write anything to the IPC or DDM/PDM, I receive a "Service procedure has been interrupted." error so I will be sending log files to the FORScan people to see if they can resolve the issue.
I’ve seen on the code spreadsheet that changing the navigation for use while moving that you could lose the vehicle health report, traffic, and 911 assist. Is that only while typing on the nav or all together?

Anyone make more progress on this? I’d like to be able to make my fog leds be the drls. Seems to be an available edit on the 3rd gen.
I’ve really got to turn off the double honk too, what a horrible noise. Startles anyone around when I jump out for something and leave it running.

Vehicle health reports are being discontinued by Ford starting 1 August 2018, so you are only missing traffic info...which you can get via other means/apps.
