Id like to have the front camera active while driving would this be the right Forscan changes to make?

Enable OffRoad (Rock Crawl, Mud/Ruts, and DeepSnow/Sand) Front Camera at Speed)

IPMA 706-02-02 xxxx xx03 xx--

TIA.
No, I don't think so. Did you get that from the the spreadsheet on the 14th Gen forum? That's specific to ICE.

I haven't seen anyone confirm it with the codes they used. But @Gerstein1989 and @Riverant said they got it working.

Maybe start with this post and the next three:

You likely need the APIM change where you flip the bit on the OVS parameter.

Also note the caveats here:

I enabled Glare-free headlights, Silent Mode, Trailer Side View and 50/50 view in camera menu. Now my mirrors don't auto fold when I lock. Any ideas what I screwed up? I did take a backup all the modules before making any changes so I can easily restore.

First, I would check the setting in the menu to make sure it did not change!

Thanks for the help! Got glare free head lights and all the other changes working, however had one issue:

I already had WAL on my 23 XLT, dealer must have done the update as I bought it used, however didn't have the toggle so was attempting to add the walk away lock toggle and now it won't allow me to re-enable it. Getting "This setting isn't avalible right now" when attempting to toggle it back on. Does anyone have any suggestions?

To clarify,

1. I had WAL functionality (however it was always on and quite sensitive so was frustrating when I would walk to the bed and it would lock)
2. I used APIM Easy Mode to enable Walk Away Lock and Walk Away Lock Feedback
3. I toggled WAL off in SYNC
4. I cannot toggle WAL back on in SYNC without getting "this setting isn't avaliable right now"

Read through this thread - same issue. It sounds like your BCM may still be out of date or it doesn't work properly on XLT/Pro because of a missing RFA module:
https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...setting-isnt-available-right-now-error.23702/
You might also follow up with the guys on that thread to see if they resolved it.

I would try re-doing the mod (not in easy mode). Turn off (0) and on (C) and reboot APIM each time.
APIM 7D0-09-05 xxxx Cxxx xx--

I love seeing all that is possible with these vehicles and a little bit of software, but the more I read over the list the less exciting it seems to be. It's still super cool that you can enable many of these features and make small config changes, but most of what's listed at the top of this thread I seem to already have in my 25 flash. So I'm just lucky to already have things like AM radio, side by side cameras, open windows with keyfob, and so on. Now, the question is whether there will be more cool features discovered that apply to the 25s...

the one feature you don’t have that’s a must is the Matrix headlights or Camping mode

I definitely want to be able to put it in silent/dark mode. Matrix headlights... Is that the anti-glare option? It sounds cool, but I thought I had read posts that it didn't work on newer models. I may be getting confused with something else though.

Likely not many more for the '25's or any models. What you got from the factory and has been added over the years is what you have documented at the top of this thread. It was nice to be able to add these items to our older trucks via a few simple tweaks.

You noted two big ones you don't have - no one does from the factory and both are well worth the Forscan investment.

So are these features things that were developed and included in software updates but just not enabled on older models? Or were they there all along and not turned on for some reason until the later model years?
