    How to turn off alarm system on 2024 Expedition?

    I pulled the config from a random 2024 Expo, and it shows a 1 here. If you have FORScan, it seems like this can easily be disabled in the BCM. You can set it to a 3 to disable the inclination aspect of it, or set it to a 0 to turn it off completely. You can always just flip it back on if needed...

    How to stop data collection on the new Expeditions?

    The Comma AI device kicks Bluecruise's butt up and down the street. However, Ford added TRON encryption to the newer models, so it no longer works on most newer vehicles. In the case of the Expo, it can only be added to the 2022-2024 model years.

    How to stop data collection on the new Expeditions?

    Not sure what you mean about notifications, but from my understanding, this stops sending the driver data to the cloud but keeps the modem working for the Ford app to work, OTA updates, and other connected features to continue to function. If you want the vehicle to be completely excommunicado...

    How to stop data collection on the new Expeditions?

    In your touchscreen, go to settings, connectivity, connected vehicle features, and turn off all the data sharing options. I can't find any pics of an Expo screen on Google, but looks something like this.

    30 min idle FORScan

    According to the 2024 Expo spreadsheet, the 30 minute idle is set here in the PCM:

    Blue Cruise Eyes on Road Annoyance

    Yes, it can be completely disabled with FORScan if you want to get rid of the "keep eyes on the road" message and still be able to use lane centering. Many people have done it after BC expires if they don't plan on renewing the subscription.

    2024 Timberline Sync 4A Max Def Soft Button

    In that case, that button may be hard coded into the climate bar itself and cannot be removed. There are ways to add/remove the heated/cooled seats and heated steering wheel from the climate bar, but I don't see anything else related to the front defrost function in the APIM.

    2024 Timberline Sync 4A Max Def Soft Button

    Check what you have in this location and change it so that MD is disabled and everything else stays as it is. If you do not get the desired result, just change it back.

    Trying to make progress with Forscan. Comparing to a 25 F150.

    From what I have seen, if the vehicle is on Sync 4, the APIM config is pretty much the same across all Fords. Once you start getting into the BCM, IPMA and other modules, things can start to get very different across different vehicle platforms. Removing the black box works for every vehicle on...

    IPC Module is under APIM Module

    Correct.I am not sure what year this started on the Expos, but on the F150, the IPC started to get managed by the APIM in 2024 and newer models.

    Towing module software update

    Yea....sorry I didn't elaborate more on that. I've have everything for FDRS for years, so I tend to forget not everyone is familiar with it. Coincidentally, a Ford mobile tech was at my dealer today since we took a Navigator in on trade and it had a recall that needed to be done before we can...

    Towing module software update

    Unfortunately, there is no way to force an OTA trigger from the server. The only way to (safely) install module updates on demand is with FDRS.

    4th Gen brakes

    I did not. I was holding off due to the possibility of trading my truck in for a newer one, but now that I know the F150 will not be redesigned until 2028, I plan on going forward with it. I did call Baer and sourced out the rest of the parts I needed. I will come back here and lyk if I came...
