F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

[dww]

Thank you for this thread! I could not take all alerts and notices and extra lights any longer. I bought the OBDLink, downloaded FORScan, bought a new battery for my 8yr old laptop, watched a ton of videos, read Livinitup’s tutorial and turned off the door chime, the seatbelt chime and added silent mode. Finally some serenity!

Member XENOILPHOBE and I have turned it on in his truck. The sound really is appreciably better. He was still trying to get the visual screen "color wheel" control to work the last time we had touched base. He's got the Platinum with 18 or so speakers.

I have a 23 lariat with regular B&O and this feature made no difference in sound on any source. When I choose it the sound is much more flat like if you reset all levels. Once I put back on normal the sound gets much better. I’ve checked settings and all is set correctly. So I’m not sure what’s going on unless it only works on unleashed.

Has anyone been able to definitively say if the Beosonic change actually does anything ?

I noticed if I double tap on the beosonic circle, the audio is muted for a half second and does appear to sound different. If I just move my finger around the circle, I don't notice a change . You guys should try the double tap method and let me know if I'm just going crazy .

No noticable change with Beosonic for me. I tried the "double tap" and get muted for 1/2 second and no change in sound.

But at least the new graphics look great.

Noticed that Auto Relock is not listed in Post #1.

It is a nice feature especially if you accidentally unlock your truck with fob. The truck will Relock if door is not open within 45 seconds. After FORSCAN change is made it is switchable on/off from the Synch screen.

I made the change a few months ago, so I think the method is still the same. Although @bmwhitetx may want to confirm it. (Thanks again for all the work you've done here.)

I modified the first post to indicate Beosonic may only work for Platinums with B&O Unleashed. I also did not notice any difference in sound on my Lariat.

@mrau, I added the auto relock mod as well. Thanks!

Hadn't used FORScan since my 2015 Mustang days...but was able to complete all of the following today:

BC1.4/Auto-Lane Changes (had the CSP-24B56 completed last week at dealer)
Walk-Away Lock (unfortunately, dealer did not update my BCM, though I did ask)
Heated Steering Wheel (bumped up to D=37)
50/50 side-view in cameras menu
Silent Mode
Disable Door Ajar and Seatbelt chimes (until in motion)
Turn-signal blinks increased to 6
Auto-relock to 45 seconds
Remove "full-view not available" on reverse
Glare-free/matrix headlights (have not verified in operation, yet)

@bmwhitetx, you're doing a helluva job keeping this first post updated for us!

Ever since my 1990s BMW days, I liked the "orange snowflake" Frost Warning telltale and turned it on in my 2015 Fusion and in my 2022 Mach E.

Unfortunately, although I turned this telltale's alphanumerics on via Forscan per Livinitup's spreadsheet (IPC), it hasn't worked so far on my 2023 XLT Lightning's IPC.

Does anyone here have the Frost Warning telltale? ...and if so, did You turn it on Yourself? ...and if so, what are the Forscan codes and lines to do it?

Thanks in advance!
