Can you confirm that the bending headlights, still work with these settings on? I just got my 23 SR Pro with Tow packages. gonna add the bed lamps b/c I too have the tonneau cover and want the lights in there. But also very interested in the Glare Free matrix update.

23 Pro ER Max Tow here
Installed and changes made in forscan, no joy
Hoping we are just missing one additional setting. Would be a bummer to be missing a hardware part.

From what I understand its less to do with misis g hardware and more that it's missing the zone lighting on base pros (without the tow tech package that includes it). Could be that they didn't put some sections of wire in with the tow tech package. Possibly similar to how some base pros don't have the wires for the front acc systems full throughout the line. I have tow tech package, including zone lighting and it was quick and easy.

Interestingly, mine was delivered with zone lighting in the app and on the Sync display, and it works from both. It activates front and rear (I don't have side lights yet, I do plan to try)

That stinks. I also have a 23 Pro without tow tech but with Zone Lighting. (I have max tow and Pro Power). I'm waiting for parts to arrive for the bed lights. I was hoping Zone Lighting would be the ticket. I'll let you know how it goes but now I'm not keeping my hopes up.

I would double check all of your forscan changes and be exact. Most everyone has made an error or two and gone back and it works. But it may be something similar to those doing the acc installation where a middle part of the wiring harness from one junction to the next is simple left out. Could try and run the wires that are at the plugs in the back up to the control units up front and check for continuity. I'm guessing there's a wiring diagram that has the colors and locations for those plugs as they were just 3 or 4 wire plugs if I'm not mistaken.

Most likely failure point is me 😂
I found another thread with some forscan values, tonight I'll mess with it again and double check my work. My rain sensor activated in Sync but this morning it didn't seem to be functional. Not my day lol.

Confirming this did not work on my 23 Pro ER with Max Tow
I reset the modules to factory and tried again, no joy.
Also tried with a 4th value mentioned in the ICE forums: whitelightckt
None of this worked. If someone with a 23 Pro was able to get this working please PM me with your package data and VIN so I can compare the ASBUILT info. Thanks

Same boat here. Just installed bed lights and switch and could not get it to work on my Pro. I do have Zone Lighting, but no tow tech. I did the 3 FORscan changes in BdyCM. I would like to take a look at the wiring diagram with and without Tow Tech to see what we're missing.

Well i just found this thread because I saw a video on YouTube that said Pro’s only need zone lightning to enable this and well, unfortunately this is not true. I have zone lighting and made the 3 needed changes with Forscan and nothing works. Crazy they put the wiring in but it doesn’t work unless you have tow tech. Hopefully someone figures out how to make this happen on non tow tech trucks.

Long time follower of this issue as well. Tried the install, no tow tech, did not work. Hoping someone smarter comes along!!
