Thanks!
For those who have forscan, is there an option to uncompress the audio sound. Listening to the b&o, the sounds is compressed, but theres no option to uncompress like the old fords did. By uncompressing it, the audio would sound so much better.
The wife and I don't mind the auto stop/start. Except when we park. We come to a stop and it shuts off. Then we switch it from drive to park, engine comes back on, just so we can shut it off . Unless we are quick to switch it, that is the outcome. What are we doing wrong?

The audio system is not compressing anything. It is the music you were listening to. Sirius XM is heavily compressed music from your phone is less compressed but still is. Try a CD it will be as good as the sound system will sound. I think it sounds great.
I agree 100% but I have found one way to eliminate that after you park in the auto stop kills the engine turn the car off before switching to park

Doesn’t it go into park automatically when you turn it off?
Yes, if you pull into a spot and the motor stops just press the ignition button and you are done.

Yup, just realized the same thing. ForScan Lite won't let me change anything. Pity. Looks like Windows is my only option. If only we had a PC in the house. Gonna have to try to do a bootcamp on my wife's macbook. All this work to disable something that should've been made available for permanent deactivation in the first place.

I’m using it on Windows 10 in VirtualBox on my Mac and it works great.

Ok, spent the last three hours installing Parallels on my Mac, all just to run Windows XP. Got it going, installed Parallels Tools to enable USB integration. Trying to connect the USB OBD11 dongle to my Ford's port, can't connect. Seems like WinXP doesn't have the drivers to recognize the OBD11 dongle.
The s*it you have to go through just to disable a feature that should never have been made permanent.
I intend to write Ford a strongly worded letter about this.

Good idea because thats the only way they get feedback, if we give it to them. Personally I believe it should be an option to permanently enable or disable via the infotainment screen. Stupid they don’t let you permanently disable it.
XP??????? why the hell did you choose XP?

Anybody with experience in using Forscan live in the Philly/South Jersey Metro area?

A brilliant idea, I’m sure they’d love to hear about you modifying vehicle software you don’t own with a legally questionable software program from Russia.
A fine question indeed. Mine works flawlessly with Windows 10 and basically the same setup.

Ok, installed Win 10, and a bunch of drivers. Was able to get the ASS to turn off through Forscan. Yes!
I’m calling this feature ‘ASS’ from now on.
Looking at this spreadsheet for the 2018 navigation in motion section, it says you may lose Sirius travel link, health report, and 912 assist.... is this only while using the nav while in motion or lose it for good?? I’m assuming making this change let’s you type stuff in the nav while driving, correct?
Ok, I finally connected and made changes. When I made the change for the double horn honk and wrote to the module all the lights flashed as did the nav screen and instrument cluster... has anyone else experianced this? I’m hoping it’s normal. It’s on the ‘18 Navi... I changed the seatbelt warning and none of that happened. Haven’t driven to test the seatbelt thing but the horn beeping stopped.
