FORSCAN write up

[ExpeditionAndy]

Sometimes I want to give a piece of my mind to the engineer who came up with the double horn honk when vehicle is running and you close the door and walk away with the keys in your pocket [emoji31]

There is a safety reason for it and if I'm not mistaken, you can put it into drive and drive off without the key if the vehicle is left running on its own. You can turn it off with FORScan and you can just close the door but not latch it all the way - so the running board stays down and it will not honk at you.

Bean, the very first thing I did with Forscan was disable the double horn honk.

Double honk I'm so glad my '17 XLT is low-enough tech to require the key be in the ignition to start and run the truck.

I really like my push button start. This is the 2nd vehicle that I've had with it. The first was my '09 Mercedes ML350 SUV.

My S2000 has a Start button. Trendy but somewhat annoying. It' Start, not Start/Stop. Ignition switch has to be in Run and clutch depressed.



Since the Expedition starter automatically runs until the engine starts I could add a Start button if I wanted to.

I’ll be getting the recommended ODB reader soon, maybe next month when I’m actually parked somewhere long enough to get a package in the mail. Double horn honk is the first to go...then LED fogs as daytime runners, and some other stuff. Can the backup camera be turned on manually while driving in “D” down the road using ForScan ?

I did the Fogs as DRL, I didn't do anything about the double honk because it is rarely an issue for me. I suspect that you will not be able to get the back up camera to work in drive but it will be interesting to see what everyone says.

I'm thinking about looking into that secure idle setting.

I know I can get the camera to stay on with lockpick but it’s expensive.

What is Lockpick?

It would be nice to use a camera for a rear view mirror.

Secure idle is at the top of my list, Andy. Given the other SSV type options I’m confident it’s in there somewhere. On my to do list.
