F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

This mod came from the Mach-E folks and IIRC there was a comment that effectiveness may be somewhat dependent on the file type. I would think it would work for all source types, even FM radio, but maybe it's only for high-quality USB files. Keep us posted.

Oh shit I might have missed that part. I was listening to Sirius at the time. I will try some different sources to see.

Sirius is the most compressed / low quality music you can listen too...
I get in my wife's car and she has Sirius on and I notice the song thats on sounds bad, I put on the same song on YouTube music and and the base and mids come back. Sadly my wife dosnt seem to care.

I’m aware of that. Although will say in the past few years the quality has gotten better on Sirius. But yes YouTube music is much better and I always have it on the highest quality setting. That said if I’m comparing the same song but just choosing different sound settings I’m still going to hear a difference. Meaning if I’m on the standard page and turn up or down bass and treble I’m going to hear a difference. But using the the new beosonic settings there was no change. In fact it sounded flat. Then the minute I hit the equalizer choice then the sound immediately changed and was much more full so to speak. So I get the quality difference of different sources but when just comparing apples to apples there was no change. I will try some other sources though to see if it has to do with what source is chosen.

Well got one of the adapters to fool the truck into thinking I'm towing a trailer to enable the turn signal camera. Gif shows the 50/50 view and then the right turn signal.

After plugging in, it detects a trailer and you'll see a message that says blind spot and cross traffic disabled. I set it up as the smallest trailer possible which re-enabled the blind spot monitor (think that works on anything set up as less than 30ft) Blue Cruise and cross traffic alerts are obviously still disabled along with regular hands-on steering assist. It still pulls back if you hit a line but doesn't actively steer. Also disables the keep your eyes on the road message if you happen to be trying to drink anything.
