Adding power mirrors to XLT

[21st Century Truck]

Oh I see I might have missed that pattern on the cameras being from a 24 and installed in a 23. I just was not sure if there is a particular set of mirrors from the years 21 to 23 that I should be looking for. The only variation I could find is that some power folding mirrors are paint matched and some have the Chrome covers but they all have the same features as far as 360 cameras blind spot heat and puddle lights

Looking at this thread... saving pennies.

Just to repeat an earlier post, the 21 - 23 mirror caps are easily switchable, with three Torx screws, once You pull off the mirror glass. That makes the paint color far less of an issue. This might be the same between 21 - 23 versions and the 2024 version... I don't know.

I have the same understanding as you. Match up the features. Try to match the year for the best chance of success or swap over the cameras from old to new which is no good in your case

All power folding are color matched or chrome as I understand. Black is manual fold. In my case I will need to swap over my black skull caps (covers) since I couldn't get two matching colors.

I plan to swap mine out soon. Waiting on warmer weather. Too tight spacewise in my garage to do it inside.

Good luck!

Got some 21 lariat mirrors with PF for about 600 (chrome caps) very happy with thatl. Attached the harness and the new door switch, anyone know the exact forscan changes I need to make? I don't even care about the auto fold just need to be able to use the button. I have a 23 XLT. I assume the changes are slightly different than the linked YouTube video with the red ICE f150. Don't wanna break anything on my lightning so I want to make sure I make the right forscan changes. everything else including cams and lights work on my new mirrors

It is suggested by others smarter than myself to confirm any values with the spreadsheet by Livnitup. Looking at that the values match the instructions from Boosted Grey Goose and the linked Youtube video.

But don't trust me Backup the original files and confirm the values yourself to be sure before making any changes.

From line 50 in the spreadsheet:

740/741-03-16

xxxx

xxxx

**--

Mirror_Folding_Cfg: 00=Ford, 01=Lincoln, 02=manual, 03=powerfold

Thank you very much I will wait for some more feedback from others. But just so I understand this clearly if I simply wanted to power fold with the buttons I would use the 03 in the ninth and tenth digit? I assume Ford or Lincoln is the configuration of the autofold function which would still allow me to use the button to fold them whenever I would like?

I don't have time to go find it but I found the forscan changes somewhere in this thread:
https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/xlt-power-folding-mirrors-retrofit-how-to.10718/

You have to change like 3 or 4 things, one enables the power fold with the switch, one to enable the option in the menu, etc etc

Tries to go through the thread, I came up with the picture below but that doesn't look like it's all encompassing. I don't see the usual numbers and xxx

You can either make those changes in the non AS BUILT modules by searching for the functions, or you can look these up in livinitup's master excel file to find the AS BUILT changes

Thank you for the insight! My adapter gets here today and it'll be my first forscan adjustment. Also looking to add matrix headlights and increase heat on steering wheel. I was told to "backup" my settings before touching anything, is that necessary? Didn't see a tood guide on YouTube for that

The forscan stuff is all quite easy and straight forward, HOWEVER, I highly recommend you read through the tutorial which has a link in this thread:
https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/2021-f-150-forscan-list-database-spreadsheet.1578/

It is easy enough to fumble around and figure things out, but bricking your truck is not the same a bricking your phone or your computer. So I would err on the side of caution, read the tutorials, back up everything every time you make a change. Just in case...

If you are using the wiring harness from Boosted Grey Goose, email them after you receive your harness and they will send the instructions with installation plus the Forscan changes needed. They do not say they are for any specific model F150, so checking the spreadsheet to confirm would be smart. If you need the instructions PM me and I can share them assuming that does not violate any forum rules.

I agree with derelict that multiple changes are needed to enable the folding option. one that I listed is probably not enough.
