Modifying As-Built Data Guide

[Falk03]

Anyone find a way to change US models radio to work with European frequencies?

The US radio only has odd decimal points (107.7 then 107.9) whereas European radio uses the evens too (107.7 then 107.8 etc...)

I think it is this setting:
727-04-01 _x__ ____ __ Switch Radio to Europe 0=North America 3=Europe

Hello guys. Anybody knows is it possible to add sequencing for the hazards and change fuel level alert miles to empty by forscan?

 

[randy_tho]

Is the hazard sequence something on another Ford?

No. Hazards and turn indicators use different circuits. Hazards use the logic for the brake lights (both on) while the sequential indicators only happen when left OR right is on.

Has anyone ordered this and used it successfully with Forscan recently on a 2018?

That's the one I bought for my 2018, but I haven't even plugged it in yet.

I’m a FORScan/as-built newbie, thinking about jumping in. Couple questions:

- how many of you actually use a battery charger? Is it really necessary?
- have any of you screwed up your car doing this?
- how difficult is it to learn how to do this on a 1-10 scale?

I use a battery charger while doing this so that I don't have to worry about the system voltage getting low.
I've not yet screwed up my two Mustangs or F150.
I've found this to have a moderate learning curve, maybe 5 out of 10? But it can be leaned if you take your time.

- I use a battery charger/trickle charger because the 1st time I did it on my F150 it gave a low voltage alarm...have made 4-5 changes on the F150 and about the same on my mustang... no more low voltage alarms...
- Have not screwed either one up yet....gimme time though
- Difficulty about a 4...hardest part was dealing with the drivers for the connection cord. If you can swap an intake manifold or change over to long tube headers you will not have problem with this

Yes, this is possible. I did this on mine.

Basically you need to do the following steps:
1)
Get a new bumper cover with the mounting points for the sensors (or drill the wholes yourself and glue the brackets to hold the sensors on the bumper).
2)
Get the sensors and paint them.
3)
Get the correct wiring harness for the bumper. The wiring in the car between the BCM and C405 was already there.
4)
Change the programming in the IPC and the BCM.

I can provide you with part numbers for the sensors and the info for the programming. I fiddled around with the harness myself and upgraded my harness with a used one from some other Ford model. And I bought a new bumper cover.

Hope this helps a bit.

Could you actually get me the programming for rear parking sensors thought i had everything but im missing something please and thank you

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive battery charger/tender? Also which is better - float or trickle tender?

This is the one that I use...bought a couple of them when on sale. I really like 3A chargers....

Is there a way to get the alarm system to auto-alarm, instead of having to activate it by locking the car by the door handle OR the fob?

Is there a way to add the security feature that locks the gas door and center console? It was a feature available only with one of the optional packages, I think it was the Safe & Smart Package (I found have bungled that package naming...lol).
