Modifying As-Built Data Guide

[fionic]

So, Line-Lock has been found and enabled - but can that only be done on vehicles with a certain hardware package? The resulting info in this thread is not real clear if Line-Lock is only a software change via As Built or can only be activated if software and certain hardware coexists. Please clarify.

Also Just wondering ...

It has been reported on this site that Ford is able to tell when an S550 has been modified via a tune by way of "key starts". Have any of you found this section in the As Built where that bit could be reset as if a tune was never implemented?

1. I believe certain hardware modules are required for line lock, but not 100%. Someone should try it that doesn't have a GT.

2. I would assume this is in the PCM, so currently forscan cannot modify it. But I really have no idea.

Is the My Color found in the As Built?

If so, I was really curious if that feature is in the As Built if one could modify the DRL's to change color based on the user selected My Color?

1. yes, check the spreadsheet. forum member confirmed it works. just add hardware for mycolor then enable.

2. I wouldn't think this is possible. Do your DRLs change color???

[MENTION=12253]papinist[/MENTION] if you still can't get it to work, enable beltminder again, reset ignition, then disable again. see if that works.

Thanks, I'll try it as soon as I finish upgrading my laptop to windows 8.1 (I don't like windows 10 )

i'm convinced anyone that actually likes win10 is being paid to.

10 to 8? Heresy! If anything you should be downgrading to 7.

Sorry, back on track...

XP forever!

OT: of course this laptop was born with 7 and I downgraded it to XP
Now Dropbox drops the support to XP and since I need it, I upgraded to 8.1. Never used 7, only XP and 8

You're missing out. 7 is my fav. I installed 10 on my work PC to get familiar with it, but I mostly ended up disabling all the dumb stuff and making it work more like 7 with stuff like Classic Shell (which also works on 8!)

I forgot to say I always have Startisback (similar to classic shell) and configured win8 to act as much as XP as possible Don't need transparency\big tiles\useless visual eyecandy stuff.

Sorry for the OT!

About the thread: do someone ever found how to enable\disable the honk\double honk when locking\unlocking the car?

Champion! The error was entirely operator related.

If it makes you feel any better, I struggled with that since I've owned the car. I have no plans to destroy expensive tires with line lock, however I would have liked to know it works. Since realizing how to make it work, I still have not used it, but at least now I know how to should I decide to.

Can you have the fog lights only come on with high beam only and not with lows? They are not much chop as fog lights in any case and may be handy to see if I can convert them to driving lights some how?

[MENTION=19128]Gnome[/MENTION], My instinct says yes, and that solution may come at some future date. My guess is firmware re-programming is required. I suspect it's more than just flipping some existing option bits in the firmware which is where we are now. Like you, I will stay glued to this thread to see what the Gurus of this thread will discover and develop. Of coarse you could hard-wire the solution if it's important to have it now.

To anyone who has done the Navigation modification. Sirrius says that my unit will not receive traffic data. Are they just going by the As Built data or is there a modification I need to make to allow my system to receive the traffic data.

Thanks, Ken

They are going by your vin that says you don't have nav. It took some convincing on my side that I had the nav done after I purchased the car. All I wanted was the weather to work; Waze is far better for traffic.

don't you have to have a subscription to get sirius traffic/weather?

 

[stoli]

Yes, but when I called they gave me a run-around saying I didn't have nav so they couldn't enable it. I suspect that is the same issue Ken is having.

weird, you'd think they wouldn't care as long as they get your money. can't you tell them you added nav after the fact, hence the reason the VIN doesn't show it?
