ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

[Carl H]

I was trying to activate the voice searching ability to my Sync 3. It already has voice turn by turn.

I had started a post in the main 3rd gen forum and someone said they still had steering wheel control with the USB plugged into their phone which why I think I screwed something up.

when connected to android auto, my steering wheel buttons work fine. in fact pressing the voice button (normally activates sync) activates google assistant.

When CarPlay is running it goes through USB not Bluetooth so the steering wheel controls will not work.

Incorrect. Steering wheel controls work with CarPlay and Android Auto.

You need the As Built from somebody with similar options.

What is your Expy? Limited? 4x4? That is what is needed.

You can download the As Built params for your VIN directly from Ford. Can't remember the URL or what the site is called but I'm sure you could google and find it

EDIT: or I could. Here you go: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt

Thanks, Dewey.

I had to print it out as a .PDF. Anyway to convert the .AB file and read it into Forscan?

Carl, Mine is a 2017 Limited EL 4X4 with Sync 3. I'd be happy to share the As built files that I backed up from mine if that will help you.

I'd have to look at an .AB file from FORScan but I'm 90% sure it's a flat file that could be built pretty easily by hand from the PDF…
