DIY success: installing Pro Adaptive Cruise and Lane Centering (and frunk beeper)

[boggle]

Man I'm totally bummed reading that the 2023 Pro's don't have the necessary wiring as ACC is about the only feature I wish my Pro had, well that and passive entry.

Just want to clarify that you can do it on the 2023 Pro but you need to have the Tow Technology Package.

Appreciate that. I was aware of that though and I don’t have that on mine

Didn't mean to play semantics but you triggered my thread watch and I had to go double check my wiring photos, don't want to confuse others that may stumble across this thread. Really unfortunate Ford couldn't have standardized the harnesses by trim and just left blanks for the various packages' sensors/modules.

Anyone want to guess which step of the process I realized that Tasca sent me the wrong wiring harness?

Oof. Happy Labor Day, everyone

Good news is that it went much quicker the second time! Now that I'd learned how to do it, it only took about an hour and a half to get the radar unit installed and the wiring harness swapped out.

FORScan took me good hour to get working on MacOS (using wineskin and the OBDLink EX adapter), and maybe another hour of clicking around to get all the necessary hex digits in the right places. It freaked me out when the first write caused my truck to reboot and start reporting a bunch of errors, but by the end of the process everything was working perfectly.

I also ran into the same issue that this member had with the CCM unit not appearing until the IPMA was written.

Once it was all working + calibrated, I took it my truck for a spin on a quiet two lane highway and the system performed flawlessly. I was really blown away by the UX of the lane keeping system. For some reason it feels more natural to me than other lane keeping systems I've used. It's not as advanced as some of the other systems out there, but it works very well for my needs.

In conclusion, this mod was completely worth it for me. The addition of Adaptive Cruise + Lane Keeping makes boring freeway driving so much more bearable.

Thanks for putting together the PDF write-up. Success on a 23 XLT with Max Tow and 9.6 Pro Power (No Tow Tech). The wiring was already populated from the IPMA to C134.

I added Adaptive Cruise Control(Radar and wiring harness) with Lane Centering to my 22 Pro today. I also disabled the frunk 'beeper'...nice!

I'll hand creds to Brotato and others at https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...keep-alert-to-2022-f-150-lightning-xlt.14870/ for others finding success ...

I updated my own programming PAGES(Attached) for an easier way to look at how the code thru Forscan, my first time, too.... you may need to hunt and peck around the Forscan screen to get to the module you are looking for, etc.


After ordering the parts from a local Ford dealer, and while paying $160 more than other options, I felt that using 'direct from Ford' parts might be best: total $760

I started this morning at 7am, and had the truck operational with the additions at 12pm lunchtime. I took the last programming steps, while running around 45 to 60 for a few miles, without the bumper, and other un-needed parts, until I knew it was a success.


Always nice to see a 'small' project, but with such great outcomes, a success.

I just bought a Pro ER Monday switching from a Mach-E with BCHF. The one thing I was actually missing quite a bit was intelligent cruise control, I am so happy to have found this thread. Amazing write up and I’ll definitely be doing this as soon as I can get my hands on the parts!!! Thank you!
