Is there another market where Ford sells this car (or other cars that may use the same subsystems) where the number of blinks for a half-press of the stalk is different from the three we get in the U.S.?Ok but I find that strange. I have been able to change the blinking amount on all my other cars (BMW, VW) using vagcom and mycarly. Seems like this would be the same as all the other parameters being changed by forscan but I really don't know. Thanks for the feedback. I guess touch to lock honk is a no go to. Damn.
If so, then it may be possible that it's something you can change with a simple As-Built mod. That is what the As-Built is for - they're configuration parameters for all the various uses of the same modules and software across different markets and trim levels.
If not, then it likely will require modifications to the firmware of one or more of your modules, which is beyond the scope of this thread. FORScan is not capable of making software changes and even if it could, you're likely to find that many niche features like the one you're requesting will go unfilled simply because the time to develop them would vastly outweigh the reward.
The software itself is an order of magnitude more complex to program than the settings the software relies on (a.k.a. As-Built) which Ford makes easy to change so replacement modules can be quickly setup for your car during warranty service. It's also likely encrypted. This is why you pay money to have your car tuned (firmware change) instead of doing it yourself for free.
