Ford Perimeter Plus Security System

[astrand1]

Well part wise it’s pretty cheap so you’re not going to get hurt buying it. To pop the console down you want to use a trim tool and gently pry down on the 2 rear corners. It will give you enough room to get your fingers in there and just start at rear and move forward and it will pop down. Just don’t pry at front. Once down there should be a blue box there. It’s a dummy box. Just empty but the small wiring harness will be plugged into it.

What does adding this do for the truck? Just like a shock sensor?

 

[Scorpio3d]

this is all you should need part wise.

So you added this to a lightning lariat with the sunroof?

 

[astrand1]

Yes sir. Works as designed.

Yes sir. Works as designed.

And after the FORScan edits, controls at least to turn it on and off show up somewhere in the SYNC screen settings? The reason for turning it off might be leaving your wife or your dog locked in the truck while you pop into a store to get something. (I anticipate possible jokes about the last sentence! )

lol. Yes so once it’s installed and set up you will then under vehicle have a line for alarm. You choose that then you can have it set to ask if you want motion sensors on or off each time you turn off the truck or have it not ask each time. That’s the setting I have it on.

Can someone elaborate as to the required FORscan changes? Maybe I’m just missing them but I couldn’t find them in this thread nor on the site. I did find them elsewhere for the Gen14 ICE F150 but I assume those are not exactly applicable… thanks.

For the newly Lightning'd among us.... what does this module do?

From what I gather it's an interior motion sensor and, possibly(?), an inclination sensor. Here's the thread I alluded to previously, linking specifically to a user's explanation. Here are the FORScan changes for the ICE version. I have no idea if these are correct for our trucks. What's interesting to me is that at least one member had the actual module installed but not configured from the factory. Although doubtful, I'm tempted to pull down my overhead console to check.

I’m waiting for my ordered module to arrive….
Price so minimal I ordered it regardless.
I am pretty sure my truck does not have anything other than the dummy box up there. It was a deleted item on my truck from factory.

Curious if you were able to install this yet. If so, can you elaborate on its use, etc.? Is it both an occupancy and inclination sensor?

My blue box hardware arrived and is in hand. I have yet to have sufficient time to get it done as of yet. I’ll start looking around for the proper FORScan changes and instructions today. I’ve only used FORScan once before and that was a couple years ago. I’m personally more concerned about the FORScan process than the physical install portion.

Bro I added back the advanced security pack into my 23 lariat in about 15 min. Super easy. The part itself is like $35 if I remember correctly. Then you just pop off the center upper console from the roof and there should be a blue dummy box that you take out put the new one in and then there is some forscan work and done.

Which part did you use? I'm interested in doing this in forscan

I shared it a few posts back. It’s a screen shot from varsity ford.

I looked at the FORScan changes for the ICE trucks mentioned here. I compared them to my database of Lightnings/ ICE Hybrid As-Builts (as well as my own 22 Lariat which has the feature).

Here are the original changes stated in the ICE post with my notes for Lightnings in blue. Note that I refer to 22's (have the option) and 23's (option was removed). 24 Lariats and Platinums should be the same as 23's. The 24 Flash has some completely different values in some places so these changes would not apply. I can dive deeper into the '24 Flash if someone wants to try this but since it is an XLT at heart, it may not be applicable to that trim.

IPC
720-02-02 *xxx xx-- enable PARGCF. 22's and 23's all have 4, no change needed.
720-09-02 xxxx *x-- enable PAGR. 22's and 23's all have 2, no change needed.
720-11-01 xxx* xxxx xx-- Perimeter Alarm Text. 22's and 23's all have 4, no change needed.

BCM
(I split 726-02-02 into 2 lines since there were two changes in that section)
726-02-02 x1xx xxxx xx-- enable Retrig. 22's and 23's all have 0, no change needed. Different than ICE
726-02-02 xxxx x1xx xx-- Set security config to both. change 0 to 1
726-55-01 xxxx xx01 xx-- LIN CSM Config. change 00 to 02. Different than ICE
726-65-01 xxxx xxx1 xx-- CSM Slave present. change 0 to 1

APIM
7D0-09-01 xxxx xxx* xx-- Enable PARGCF. change 8 to C
7D0-09-02 xxxx xxxx *x-- Enable PAGR. change 0 to 1
7D0-09-04 xxx* xxxx XX-- for 2024's, change to a 1 (from @Jesse-Infotainment)

LIN module calibration (see post 33)

So really just a few changes to the BCM and APIM. Note the differences in ICE I highlighted in red above. So if you used the ICE values "as is" you may have messed up a feature. @astrand1 @ScubaSteve_TheReal @Jim Lewis @watts/up

And for those just tuning in, this mod is for the 2023-2024 Lariat / Platinum that had the Advanced Security Pack removed. You also need to add back the removed sensor. Read this entire thread and the link to the 14th gen thread that has installation instructions
