Cool. Was that enabled via forscan or stock? I’ve got Tow Tech and Max Tow but can’t find any ZL options in the app or in the truck’s main screen. I figured it wasn’t available without the stock side steps.

If you have tow tech the zone lighting screen should be there under "vehicle".

Interesting. I can enable the zone lighting on the screen with Forscan but when trying to turn it on it doesn’t actually work. I don’t have the tow tech pkg though. This was on the list to try to figure out in the future.

I have tow tech but don’t have zone lighting. I am still at 3.5.2. Any other Pro owners w/ ZL care to confirm what software version they have?

I have a MY23, I've had no updates since I took delivery a month ago.

I have a MY23 Pro with tow tech and ZL works for me. Not sure on the version because I just took delivery on 12/31 and no updates yet.

What exactly is the zone lighting? Just the ability to turn on the outside lights (mirror, puddle on the running board, etc)?

Yes, via truck or app you can turn on each independently.

My tow tech mirrors came with Puddle lights.

Was ZL on the pro enabled by default or did you have to enable with Forscan?

Default, I haven't touched my new truck with Forscan yet (emphasis on yet).

My parts have shipped, when they arrive I will install on my Pro and see if it works with Zone Lighting. If it doesn't, still worth it to me. I have a tonneau cover installed and being able to illuminate the bed without removing the tonneau is valuable to me.

There are a few recommended OBD adapters on the Forscan site. I have the OBDlink EX.
Did you have any difficulty with Forscan not finding the vehicle configuration? I bought the recommended Bluetooth OBD2 adapter. Forscan finds the adapter no problem but fails right after that when it can’t find the vehicle configuration. It says to enter number from PCM or contact support. I’ve tried both the windows and iOS version

I had no issues. It connected right away with Forscan. Make sure you have the latest Forscan version. If it still doesn’t work reach out to their support.

Their support page says they don’t support any 23 models yet
