The PCM is one thing that we cannot change with FORScan. Any tech that can pull data from a like car can make it work.Did you get them to tell you what it is??
Ahh, I misread it, I thought you said BCM lol. But thanks for finding this out! It'll be helpful to the 2019+ guys!The PCM is one thing that we cannot change with FORScan. Any tech that can pull data from a like car can make it work.
To answer your Q, no I did not. But as I said, any dealer should be able to do this for a small fee.
Tascaparts.comIs there someone I can order the parts through on this thread or forum? I was at the dealer asking their parts guys about what I needed to order given my car has the plug already. First guy said “well that'll be Ford Performance parts and will void your warranty”. I explained that this is a stock Ford option and no way it would coid warranty. Fortunately the other guy behind the counter was listening in and stepped in. I think they figiured out the part numbers and wiring needed, but they didn't leave me feeling super confident. Also, the total price before tax was around $1,400 (two VE mufflers and the wiring harnesses that come from the plug in back to the actuators on thr mufflers). That seems pretty steep based on what I've read in this thread. Have prices really gone up or were they ordering the wrong mufflers? Doubled up maybe?
Given all that, I would feel much better if I could just order what I need from a dealer that knows exactly what the parts are and the correct cost.
Thanks! On their website when I put in 5230-FA and 5230-FB, neither the diagram or the description indicate active exhaust, or even right vs left for that matter. Guess I'll just give them a call on Monday...Tascaparts.com
But going off what some people in this thread have been posting recently, I wouldn't be surprised if that price were accurate after shipping
You could try a dismantler like The Parts Farm. He always has late model Mustangs and I am sure they come in with active exhaust. As long as they were not hit in the rear, the mufflers and wiring should still be good.So this has gone from a $500 to $600 DIY "upgrade" to a $1,200 to $1,400 investment. For that kind of $'s I can get a nice cat-back system... So now I'm torn. I dig the novelty and functionality of the AE set up, but for the $'s it is becoming harder to justify.
Yep, just got mine from there. Paid $400 + shipping.You could try a dismantler like The Parts Farm. He always has late model Mustangs and I am sure they come in with active exhaust. As long as they were not hit in the rear, the mufflers and wiring should still be good.
When you plug the wires in, it's pretty easy to tell where all the push pins goHas anyone posted pics of the OEM routing of the Y harness and pigtails? I'd rather not guess at this and want it to all look factory when done.
