I always wondered why it wasn’t on all four, at least on the driver’s controls. It’s all in the computer software these days so it’s not like the motor controller is more expensive, and maintaining 2 separate part numbers for the control switches can’t be very much cheaper than the price difference between the two.

Mercedes has had auto up/down on every window switch for a long time.

I also have a new 2018 Expedition, and my ODB2 adapter is in the mail. FORScan playing coming up real soon. Double honk, bambi mode, turn off the auto start stop, and disable the fake engine noise first up on the mods.

which adapter did you get? I want to modify a couple things on ours when we get it. I would like to get a wifi model to be able to use different devices and not just locked to USB and the laptop. I did a quick search and was immediately overwhelmed with the selection of products and information regarding them!!!!!

I’d recommend getting the OBDLink MX BT. It does both CAN networks right out of the box without any modifications and it’s proven to be the most stable 3rd party VCI I’ve used. They make a WiFi version but I’ve heard mixed reviews on it.

So an Update here..
I've successfully made some changes to the SCCM and BCM, but ran into issues with the IPC (instrument panel). Looks like right now Forscan can't talk to the 2018 IPC, and based on response from forscan dev's, looks like ford hasn't even released IDS capable of talking to it, so it may be a little while before we can change IPC settings. (things like temp guages and menus)

Number of flashes on the turn signal.. went from 3 to 4.

also my value was 7, which seems odd, as most values referenced in the F150 forum were default 6 (number of flashes.), so i went to 9 to get the 4 flashes, keeping the last bit as a 1. no issues .

6 or a 7 in the ? bit allows 3 flashes...see below for the entire code:

Turn Signals - Lane Change Flashes SCCM 724-01-01 xxxx x?xx xx

Change ? to: 0-3 1 Flash, 4-5 2 Flashes, 6-7 3 Flashes, 8-9 4 Flashes, A-B 5 Flashes, C-D 6 Flashes, E-F 7 Flashes
