4th Gen Expy FORScan Modifications

[TheDoug]

Just got around to messing with the software and I got most things to work however...

The data entry while in motion tells me I need to check for a typo. (I used the numbers at the beginning of this thread)

Also auto start stop disable says IPC needs to be modified as well butmi did not see that in FORscan

Anyone have these issues? I am using the latest beta ending in .24

ROOKIE QUESTION:
I am assuming "BCM" is a different module than "BdyCM as built" Correct? Seems like any module I access that doesn't state "as built" gives language yes/no options, rather than addresses and values. So, if a mod indicates BCM module, with values and addresses, should I use BdyCM as built? Sorry if this is lame...

I am new at this too... but the ones that have yes/no are ones FORscan has made easier for you instead of changing the hex values manually.

In my post just before yours, all mine were done with the yes/no toggle.

None of the IPC writes I did were successful.

I also got the typo error when trying to program the data entry whilst moving option. There is a audio/audio video option for data entry in that module that can be accessed via the menu vs hex code perhaps that is it

So no codes as of yet for the 2019 Expys, correct? I really want to change out my front turn signals to LED switchbacks, but don't want to wire in the resistors.

I understand Ver. 2.3.25 Beta is being tested and is finally allowing writes to IPC on the 2019's. Good news if true. Hopefully will be available soon!

That would be awesome! There are a few things I want to turn off. I also have another obstacle, it's my wife's Expy that I'm doing stuff to. LOL She wants me to leave it alone, but I'm like no, we can make it so much better!

I also did the DRL modification. I did the FOG light for DRL plus the parking lights. I did all this work last night so couldn't verify the change. It would just automatically turn on the headlight low beam since it was dark outside. I thought I can trick the vehicle by shinning a flashlight at the light senor on the dash. Man, how silly I was. LOL. Anyways, started the truck up this morning and the mod works.
How does the vehicle know when to turn on headlights?

Can you share your codes for the DRL modification?
I tried set mine to 2 or 3 made the car throw bunch of errors.
Lights - DRL options BCM 726-11-01 x?xx xxxx xx Change ? To: 0-DRL Disable, 1-DRL 50% Low Beam, 2-DRL Fog Lights, 3-DRL Turn Signal
