Enabling charge speed on dash.

[majorgearhead]

I did this mod sometime back. Have a stable 100a power supply (overkill). One important thing after you load the firmware is to apply the asbuilt from the model year that had this IPC version else you may have some weird operational bugs.

I have put many thousands of miles on the truck since doing this and it has worked flawlessly. I love the better Blue Cruze animations and of course the charging speed is super helpful to see speed at a glance when at a charge station. I am very happy I did this mod.

I have a 23 Lariat. If I do this mod and then use a new as built for the ipc will I lose other nods ina
Have made like matrix headlights, and have to then again?

Yep, I'm planning on adding a nice 175a anderson connector to a good ground and right to the DCDC converter output so I can just plug in to a really solid connection and avoid the clamps all together.

I like you are using a server power supply. I do the same thing. As for clamps, I don’t use them. I made a short 3-foot cable set off the power supply with a ring termination. Then use a 6mm nut to attach to the positive terminal and the BMS sensor (not the negative terminal). There’s enough exposed thread on each of those studs to just stack the terminal and extra nut. Worked well And gives a solid connection. Could put your Anderson connector there.

They're perfect for the task! This was the first time using this one that I just built so it was a great test. I used a smaller one in the past for a Chevy Volt but wanted to have some head room and build a beefier one for the truck.

I had to go back and reapply the bits I had changed for the mods I did like matrix headlights. I kept all the changes done in a notepad so it was relatively painless. All of them are in the first couple of pages in the Forscan thread.

You should be able to restore your ipc backup after loading the 2024 config also. Just be sure to make note of what 720-13s and 720-14s were in the 24 config and update after restoring. Otherwise you get a config error.

I'm all for updating vehicles, but this data is right there in CarScanner, so if it isn't an easy FORScan update, I see no reason to bother.
