For what it's worth, there are aftermarket handle covers on eBay that say they fit both the Bronco and F-150 under the "compatible vehicles" table. I'd think that is a good sign, although not definitive.
Yes, I've researched this a bit, it does appear the bronco handles are physically the same. But I don't know if the principle of operation between the capacitive button/antenna module is the same as either of the lightning strategies; it would need to be b/c that module comes with the handle. It appears from wiring diagrams that the Lariat/Platinum handles are 5pin instead of 4pin. I hope @Jesse-Infotainment can chime in here and maybe post a few pictures as he recently added passive to a Bronco. I can't imagine if the handle is the same and they offer bare ABS like our Pro/XLT handles that they wouldn't also offer that on some variant of the Lightning, but shit nothing surprises me from Ford anymore.For what it's worth, there are aftermarket handle covers on eBay that say they fit both the Bronco and F-150 under the "compatible vehicles" table.

I was under the impression that the door handles were not the same. In my research, I'd come up with two different part numbers for the handles (the driver's door has a keyhole and the passenger doesn't). I believe the handle part numbers are ML3Z-1522404-DCPTM and ML3Z-1522405-DCPTM and the harness part numbers are PL3Z-14631-G and PL3Z-14630-G. PLEASE take these with a grain of salt because I have not confirmed the part numbers are correct yet.
Great advice, did you check that the capacitive buttons were working by using the dashboard feature. I would do this before the firmware upgrade just to give yourself a pat on the back that it is working. Also, the firmware upgrade is scary, but only took about 5 minutes in my truck, and I was never plugged in. I upgraded and downgraded three times before I figured everything out. Once you get it working please email FORScan and ask them to add the firmware to their server so it shows up for people in the future as "available".
Yeah, on the left, it's the icon that looks like an oscilloscope trace.
Do I need to do anything aside from hook everything up before doing this test? I haven't made any changes in Forscan or anything, but it doesn't respond to my touch at the momentYeah, on the left, it's the icon that looks like an oscilloscope trace.
You have to click the settings icon at the bottom. Go to the BCM and search for these two PIDs. Once you get them moved to the right exit setup and press the play button at the bottom to monitor the parameters live. When you put your hands on the capacitive buttons of the door handle, you should see both signals respond. When you have this working then you are ready to do the firmware update.
Ok, now I'm confused on the firmware update. Am I supposed to put those values into a file for the system to write? Also, I don't appear to have some of the sections that you had values for, is that an issue or do those values overwrite?Yeah, on the left, it's the icon that looks like an oscilloscope trace.
