Success! Many thanks to Epiphany, Tank, rb92gt and everyone else that contributed to this thread. I was able to enable my trans temp gauge and determine that I hit limp mode at about 275 degrees.

Broke down and ordered the OBDLink MX and BT dongle this evening.

I'll try and read up on all of this before they get here. For now, I think that all I really want to do is turn on the R splash screen.

Yeah, that has to go. I about jumped out of my skin the other day when it honked at me like that. ;)

There is certainly some sort of toggle for this. They don't have separate flashes for the different cars, they just config the modules differently. Somebody just needs to poke around enough to find it.
Hey Matt,
I've spoken to Ford Performance about diff coolers for base/tech '15&'16s and been told a couple of times that the CANBUS in these cars do not support what's needed for the OEM diff coolers.

In the above post, you mention the cars "don't have seperate flashes" and I'm asking if this is consistent with what FP told me about the CANBUS? Or if they're completely unrelated concepts?

I'm also wondering why there is a Forscan code for the 16 Tech to have a diff temp displayed if the CANBUS doesn't support it?

Still trying to understand it all if you couldn't tell from my questions:lol:

As always, thanks for your help!

It can support it, it's just the base/tech cars have no diff sensor to read the temp.

Or wiring to support it all...thanks [MENTION=7400]USMC0341[/MENTION].

Assuming you're correect, has anyone figured out the install on the diff cooler?

My question too. I've seen the Forscan change for the diff temp. I would think if we could figure out where the temp loom goes, we could plug it in. This likely has the pump wire too. At least I hope so.
The rear cover is an easy swap.

Some work has already been done- an example [MENTION=20343]GT_Dave[/MENTION] found there was no harness for the diff cooler for the Tech...I believe there's no wires for sensor or pump. My dealer's Parts guy was reluctant to give me info on part numbers for diff related parts, harnesses etc..

Also, parallel discussion on this in the cooler thread....

[Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with any of these discoveries and take credit for none of them. I am simply summarizing what a bunch of geniuses/heros came up with in the prior 23 pages of this thread and other threads. I am trying to make this specific for the GT350 here.]
1. Need laptop with windows operating system
2. Buy https://amzn.com/B006NZTZLQ OBDLinkMXBluetooth (best connection, wifi prone to disconnections)
If your windows computer does not have bluetooth, also buy https://amzn.com/B009ZIILLI
3. Download forscan http://forscan.org/download.html (to windows computer you will make mods with)
Choose "FORScan version 2.3.3 beta for Windows - free." Will need extended version to make modifications
4. Sign up for forum http://forscan.org/forum/ucp.php?mode=register
5. Wait for registration email from FORScan
6. Obtain extended license http://forscan.org/forum/extlic.php
7. Open FORScan and Click bottom Left "About" button to load license, when successful should read, "Extended License. Registered to..."
8. Plug OBDMX into port
9. Key On, Engine Off. Car should have a full battery and DO NOT let battery get below 11.4V, risk damage. I spent over an hour connected with no battery drain problems. If you have a goal of what you will modify before you connect to car it shouldn't take more than 15min from here on
10. Start forscan on windows computer with bluetooth
11. Click "connect to vehicle" at bottom
12. Click left "Configuration and Programming button"
13. Click on APIM, IPC, BdyCM, ACM (all AS BUILT) or RCM (not AS BUILT) depending what you want to modify:
Module Address Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Effect Model Year Package
APIM 7D0-02-01 5553 0602 C04A Mustang GT Nav Anim. All Tech/Conv/Elec
APIM 7D0-02-01 5553 0702 C04B Gray GT350 Nav Anim. All Tech/Conv/Elec
APIM 7D0-02-01 5553 0902 C04D Red GT350R Nav Anim. All Tech/Conv/Elec
IPC 720-06-01 7F6D 0664 9E22 No Axle or Trans Oil Temp Display All
IPC 720-06-01 7F6D 1664 9E32 Axle Oil Temp Display All
IPC 720-06-01 7F6D 8664 9EA2 Trans Oil Temp Display All
IPC 720-06-01 7F6D 9664 9EB2 Both Axle and Trans Oil Temp Display All
BCM 726-32-01 0A01 0000 006B Entry Lighting Disable (Dark Car Mode) 2016 Track
BCM 726-32-01 0A01 0100 006C Entry Lighting Enable 2016 Track
BCM 726-41-02 0000 0001 0172 No Horn Exit When Running 2016 Track
BCM 726-41-02 0001 0001 0173 Double Horn Exit When Running 2016 Track

BCM 726-41-02 0001 0000 0071 Double Horn Exit When Running 2017 Conv
ACM 727-01-01 1801 C000 0009 Engine Sound Enhancement Disable 2016 Tech
ACM 727-01-01 1801 3A08 008B Engine Sound Enhancement Enable 2016 Tech
ACM 727-01-01 D800 D000 00D8 Engine Sound Enhancement Disable 2016 Track
ACM 727-01-01 D800 2A00 0032 Engine Sound Enhancement Enable 2016 Track
ACM 727-01-01 1850 F000 44CC Engine Sound Enhancement Disable 2017 Conv
ACM 727-01-01 1850 FA00 44D6 Engine Sound Enhancement Enable 2017 Conv
RCM Enable/Disable Seatbelt minders (can also do it manually without needing FORScan, see below)
14. Hit play button on bottom to show codes in the category from step 13.
15. Make modifications to codes as desired (Write down your original codes in case you want to ever revert changes)
16. Click write. Follow instructions given to cycle "key on engine off" / "key off engine off" if needed.
17. Hit stop button on bottom.
You can also turn off/on the seatbelt minders per the owner's manual page 31 as follows: Key on engine off, then wait until seatbelt light turns off on dash. Once light goes out, wait 5 seconds, then slowly plug/unplug seatbelt three times. After the third time the light will come back on, then plug/unplug one more time. Seatbelt light will now flash to confirm. Repeat on other seat. Repeat to turn back on if desired.
For forscan detailed instructions with pictures (not GT350 specific): http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61773

This is great, but how do I load the extended license key? When I click load license, it takes me to the Forscan program file..now what do I do?
