Does anyone have trailer side view working?

I do. Love it!

I do. Love it!

sweet! I’ll try to code it in this week!

Thanks I have added this to post 1. This should not be needed on 2024+ since it appears they already have this enabled.

NOTE: This is one of those that it is important to know what you are doing. Livinitup's spreadsheet just says
IPMA 706-01-02 3xxx xxxx xx--
APIM 7D0-02-03 xxxx x8xx xx-- adds Trailer Side View toggle under Driver Assistance

But that is for ICE F-150's. Our trucks have additional/different features. And blindly putting in these values can disable some of those features. I always research the actual spreadsheet and provide Lightning specific values in post 1.

For example changing IPMA 706-01-02 first value from a 0 to a 3 does enable trailer view (MFCTSV Both) and is appropriate for 2022-2023. But 2024's have a 7 there not a 0. This means trailer view is already enabled AND so is CEA Egress Warning. So if you change it from 7 to 3, you disable CEA Egress warning (whatever that is).

Same with APIM. Looking at vehicles, they have a 0,4,8 or C in that position depending on year, trim, ICE or not. 8 or C already has the Sync feature enabled, 0 or 4 do not. But the difference between 0 and 4 is that 4 enables Controls Tab. This is your Drive Modes screen (Normal, Sport, Tow/Haul, etc.). That is why you read some folks loose their Drive Modes selection on the Sync Screen. It's because they changed this value to an 8 instead of an C by blindly following ICE advice.

I have an As-Built database of 40 different vehicles across years, trims, options, and ICE/Lightning. I can see what a typical value might already be for those trucks and make the change recommendation appropriately.

Thanks for maintaining your thread! A lot of people are gonna love this!

Global window open/close using keyfob: only works on the front windows because one-touch is not enabled in the back windows.

Just sharing, this is an option in the menu on my 2024 Flash now.

Now we just need to figure out how to keep the power in the bed on while the truck is off just like the Newer 2024 trucks.

Interesting. That may mean there is an APIM change others could make. Could you share a screenshot when you get a chance of the Sync option?

Edit never mind, I realize we are enabling that already - your's is just already enabled. I'll check the As-Builts I have.

(edited)
This is my Sync screen with no Forscan changes made.

Does anyone know if it is possible to add Speed Sign Recognition for a 24 XLT? I'm not well versed enough yet in ForScan to go digging myself.

Can you link me to that please? Im assuming that has info on 2023 Pro trims?

This was one of my biggest frustrations with the majority of FORSCAN tutorials and videos out there, inclyding livinigitup's own tutorials. When you just get stated most changes, instructions, and videos just say to change value X to value Y.

In truth EVERY change should be evaluated and you need to take your original value, compare against the spreadsheet, and determine exactly what the resulting value should be. This is not expressed enough, especially to new users. The number of members who have not read the spreadsheets is concerning.

In many cases the numbers you see online will be different if you have an XL, XLT, or Lariat trim with an ICE engine, and then again completely different for Pro, vs XLT, vs Flash, vs Lariat in the lightning.

With most of these mods you are changing a single bit. If you show the numbers in binary instead of hex it makes a lot more sense.

FORscan could certainly make this easier but its interface is 20 years old.
