F150 Lightning FORscan thread

[21st Century Truck]

I'm not even sure what options we have with the lighting because of how unorganized this thread is.

First try with forscan and glare free lighting is successfully "installed."

Haven't had a chance to test it out at night yet.

The majority of the changes that worked - Glare Free Lighting are all updated and listed in post 1.

Through out the thread there has been some information about getting Walk Away Lock to work for those that had the PAAK option and another part about getting side cameras to come on with the blinkers.

Both of those last two are connected to newer software that you must have and Ford has not formally updated our trucks with it. You may need FDRS to install that software to be able to play with either of those options.

My Lariat has walk away lock already and the global windows with the key feature. These are all toggled options including some others on my screen.

Thank you for this!

Oh sorry, I assumed you were using the Google Sheet already. Yes, go there, lots of things to do if you want.

Does your global window feature work on all windows (maybe even sunroof) or just the front 2 windows?

Anyone here feel like being a guinea pig to see if the Beosonic menu works on these trucks? It seems work on 21-23 Mach E's and 2024 F150's, but over on the ICE forums, we have not been able to get it to work on 21-23 trucks:

783-01-01 xx1x xx

7D0-01-01 xxx8 xxxx xx (The 2024 F150 had to use a 9 here instead of an 8, so try a 9 if the 8 does not work)

I see what you're saying, no just fronts.

Do you have a link to a post or thread discussing this? Would like to try it out - Ioniq 5 has this and it's such a great feature.

I did this yesterday. First you need the dealer to update your BCM module. This alone will turn on WAL. Then to enable on/off buttons in Sync, you either need the latest APIM update or you can go in FORScan and make this change in the APIM:
7D0-09-05 xxxx Cxxx xx-- (see note)
(or you can use Easy Mode on the APIM, and enable Walk Away Lock and Walk Away Lock Feedback)

You can make the APIM changes now and the sliders will show up under Locks in Settings - but they won't do anything until the BCM is updated.

Note: Changing the 5th byte of 7D0-09-05 to "8" enables the WAL on/off slider and changing to "C" enables both the WAL on/off slider and the Feedback on/off slider (horn honk). You will want both sliders.

Tried it and it works! I used instructions from Mach-E forum:

783-01-01 xxXx xx - Add 1 to X  (this is DSP As Built)
7D0-01-01 xxxX xxxx xx - Add 8 to X  (this is APIM As Built)

On my truck for 783-01-01, it was a 0 so I made it 1.
For 7D0-01-01, it was an 1, so I made it a 9.
So just like you said for the 2024 ICE. I'm not an audiophile so didn't test it. For just radio, I couldn't tell a difference.

@vandy1981 : can you add this to your first post?

Ah dang, I should have been more clear - I was talking about the camera activation on blinker.

But thanks for this also, I will likely do it too when/if I get the BCM updated. Is the BCM update part of any CSP or anything? I don't suppose I can go in and just ask for it lol. I had the High Voltage Battery (23B57) update done at the dealer a while back.

Sweet! Now if we can get someone with the 12" screen to try this and confirm it works there, too? Trying to figure out why this doesn't work on the ICE trucks; at least not this easily. Seems like only the EV's are taking this well.

Unfortunately, I don't think this applies to the 12" screens. The B&O sound system (i.e., DSP) is only on the 22-23 Lariat and up and the '24 Flash and up. All have 15" screens. I would think the Beosonic screen requires the B&O sound system.
