Activating/Installing lane centering with FORSCAN

[valleystang]

Before anyone comments "why do you need a computer to drive your car", this is simply a discussion thread and am very interested in seeing how far we can go with FORSCAN.
For us that have stangs with lane keep assist, I think we can all agree that the feature works 50/50 and is not the best, but can help in certain scenarios. However, I was wondering if it is possible to activate "lane centering" on our car with FORSCAN. Alot of fords like the Edge, fusion, and even the Mach-E have lane centering or "blue cruise" (which is much more advanced) which actually keeps the car in the lane no matter what, similar to self driving. I have seen it in those cars and it works very well, and Ford's self driving system is on par or even better than Tesla's.
If our car has the lane detection camera, and the servos to move the wheel, and all the sensors necessary for "Lane keep", you would kinda also assume there has to be some way to fine tune those parameters in FORSCAN to make the system even more accurate and turn it into more of a lane centering system. That would be pretty awesome.

Subd. Been wondering the same for my f150.

Subd. Been wondering the same for my f150.

So I have been doing some research and there are threads on other forum sites with people doing this succesfully on their Ford escapes, fusions, and other models. So this is definetly possible. I am going to experiment with FORSCAN and the coding that was shown in the other threads, Here it is for reference : https://www.fordescape.org/threads/how-to-enable-lane-centering-assist.117546/

First attempt today. Forscan couldn’t connect due to Roush os in the pcm…

Just buy a Tesla.

Any update on this? Forscan lists a few options relating to Lane Assist in their module config for the APIM, but nothing that overtly indicates what it does.
Also trying to see if it's possible to enable ACC with Forscan while I'm in there, but 'Adaptive Cruise Control' and 'Adaptive Cruise Control Menu' enabled have changed nothing.

It’s not just a flip of a switch or change in a. line of code; the car would also need the associated modules to function IF the car wasn’t “As Built” with the option package that contains the feature.
