Interaction with OBD is the way to go. I can help with PIDs and understanding what's possible. I'm worried though that others that are interested in this are already using their bluetooth OBD (MX+) in most cases with another app. Can it support multiple connections to hosts simultaneously...
Awesome, I assume you are a programmer of similar things by day? Have you thought about interacting with a Bluetooth OBD reader like ABRP does? I'm sure you don't want to deal with maps and trying to one-up ABRP, but maybe your app could just focus on one thing like: energy,,,,ABEP? 🤣

I've had 2 battery modules replaced under warranty, both after I made extreme modifications to my truck, even middle manning the HV charger for experimentation with adding a generator to charge while driving, adding blue cruise, adding passive entry, etc. They didn't blink an eye. Yes, if you...
The fact the Ford won't do trim/option upgrades has NOTHING to do with how involved or expensive anything is. Once a good DIY is made for this mod I think it will be a <1hr job excluding bed removal/reinstall. None of this would void the warranty as long as you don't do something stupid and...
If anyone on here says they have $2k to try this, I'll do the legwork on all the parts needed and get started on the DIY. with a parts list. Just let me know.
This is part of what needs pioneered, removing the bed and documenting the actual physical parts with good pictures and written in a sequential DIY format. I'm willing to build that document if someone wants to tackle this and just communicate it all to me. The coolant stuff is easy peasy. I...
I have made a LOT of progress with two related projects and have another starting soon with a university involving the battery. I understand everything needed to make this happen. If you buy the parts I'm willing to fully help/support getting it working. You will need to remove the bed and be...
I am able to add custom PID's to Car Scanner including Action PIDs to control custom hardware (accessories) added to the vehicle. Is this possible with Torque Pro, adding graphical buttons, like an auxiliary circuit control panel or airbag system control?
However, I haven't seen a good way to...
Can anyone here comment on TorquePro versus CarScanner. I have used CarScanner only and I'm wondering if there is any reason to try/switch to TorquePro
I have noticed the "this trip" efficiency in the Ford Pass app too, so true, they are getting it somehow from the IPC to the Telematics module (possibly via ethernet). I have also considered it could be calculated and stored in another module like the PCM (would make more sense for accuracy)...
I believe all the stuff the OP is interested in is calculated real time in the IPC and not transmitted. A year ago I wanted to make a more accurate GOM for the community, which would be easy if we had access to "this trip" efficiency. But I couldn't find ANYTHING about this trip. That's when...
A friend and I here in Tulsa, OK were just talking about Comma a few days ago. I thought they started encrypting some things on the 24'+ on the FD bus which prevented Comma from working? Is there already a forum post for the Lightning detailing the installation of Comma,, if not can you start...
If you have a good local dealer that cares they can manually add/update, but you'll have to befriend them and offer to pay their time. They aren't going to spend hours of a mechanic's time learning how to manually update APIM maps and firmware just because Ford's software team/OTA sucks.
Your...
So, you're telling us that with the truck OFF, Doors locked, no key in pocket,, you can walk up to the bed, push the little green button next to the outlets and the ProPower will turn on?
I totally agree with a "dark mode". And I think this has been suggested before. I'd love for it to be a button above the screen, you push it and ALL lights are OFF.
I have turned off the "shut off timer" before to use ProPower and Wi-Fi in remote camp sites, didn't seem too difficult, but I...
I'll ask Martin to chime in, but I highly doubt anything with the APIM has anything to do with ProPower. I really don't get what the big deal is with everyone wanting ProPower on when the vehicle is off? This would probably be controlled by the BCM as it's responsible for essentially turning...
