HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Walkthough on a 2017 F150 XLT, using Forscan to enable Bambi Mode. This mode keeps your fog lights on with brights.
Everything you need start to finish is in this guide: docs.google.co...
Excel guide: docs.google.co...
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO! I'VE BEEN WANTING TO LEARN HOW TO USE FORSCAN AND THIS VIDEO IS GREAT. I WAS ABLE TO DRL MY SWITCHBACK AND ENABLE BAMBI.
Adam Crowl Awesome glad it helped!
Eli, thanks for the info. I was able to add the Bambi mode, fog lights DRL, heating/cooling seat controls to the touchscreen, Global Window mod and auto folding mirrors to my 2015 F150 Lariat.
Christopher Walker awesome!!! Good to hear.
What is the global window mod?
That's a good change. I never figured out why I would have to choose between brights and fog lights in my escape.
Good video. I just got my usb connector and am doing some last minute review before making mods. Solid job.
Great info!! Thank you. I cant imagine why anyone would give your video a thumbs down! Unless they work for a Ford dealer LOL!
Thanks!
Awesome video. One of the most detailed ones i've seen.
Thank you very much! The link for the excel sheet in the comments was most helpful
Good to hear! I didn't create the spreadsheet, but it is definitely a great tool that someone provided for us all.
Thanks for the Great Video!!
Nice to hear your voice finally Eli! #bambimode
Lol!
Pretty good tutorial to get someone started. Thanks for sharing
Awesome best video out there
Glad it helped
@@elihauschild1695 yes it did thank you I had no idea what to do lol
Thanks, man. Liked & subbed
Awesome!!! Best video for this. Thank you!
Awesome. Glad it helped.
Sir, thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm new to the whole Forscan world and wanted to know if you need an extended license to enable the bambi mode? If so, how much does the license cost? Thanks!
L RBS you can get the free extended license for forscan. That will allow you enable Bambi mode.
@@elihauschild1695 that's the trail license for 2 months, right?
Correct. That’s what I use. The 2 mo trial license.
What’s the difference between the two Bambi modes? I’m gonna be getting some pod lights to replace my fogs, and don’t want to add a switch, but not sure what the difference between the two modes? Look forward to get a ForScan soon to do some cool changes!
Nick Craig the two lines work as follows:
Top: if you have your brights on (with fogs too) and you park and turn off your truck with them still on, the next time you start the truck the brights will be off.
Bottom: After you start your truck again, the brights will still be on.
@@elihauschild1695 Ahh okay.. Thanks!!
Awesome! Thanks so much
greg harr glad it helped!
Good evening, thanks for the video, can you share the excel file please?
Excel guide: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uDSQ1Z5a2Wt8-kjrSiVSlDFGFHnfeuhb3RTMVz95730/htmlview
Thanks a lot
Where can I get the excel guide for a 2012 F150?
Thank you thank you thank you..
So for some odd reason none of my volume mode and skip left or skip right buttob doesn't work
Also on screen the climate Cobtrol added button on screen doesn't work
I found your video very informative being new to forscan it was a real help for me. I was wonder do you create a new profile each time you load up forscan if you made changes during a previous session so it doesn't load up modules prior to last changes ?
Mike Blezien I use the same profile every time.
@@elihauschild1695 ok thanks for the info appreciate it.
Can you do the "high 6 mod" and have the lows, fogs, and highs come on when you turn the high beams on?? Or is this what the Bambi mod does?? It looked like your low beams were off. That's why I ask.
Riding With The Reid's yep that’s what this does. High 6 mod sounds a lot better though lol.
Awesome video and Bambi mode worked for me just like you showed BUT my 2018 F150 XLT codes are much different for doing the GT blue theme on stereo start up? Is there a specific 2018 F150 Spreadsheet yet??? I can't find one anywhere.
The experts maintaining the spreadsheet say it works for 2018 too. Usually they add a new note to say if it doesn’t work for a specific year and trim.
You may see different values, but the end result of making these changes should be the same. If you are real familiar with the software, just back it all up before you try the GT Theme.
Honestly I ended up reverting back to stock theme because I didn’t want to have dealer thinking I was playing around. It doesn’t void warranty, but if sync has an issue, some techs may give you a hard time.
Did the obd adapter automatically connect to forscan the first time you plugged it in? I'm asking because mine keeps saying that there was no ELM found. Thanks in advance
Angel De La Cruz mine did connect right away. I’ve heard of people needing to get the drivers for it to work.
What is the Globe open close thing for or do? I'm looking at buying a scanner so I can do my fog lights. I just seen you showing that global open close and was wondering what it's for. Thanks Ken
Taz Man global windows simply used the key fob to open and close the front windows when the vehicle is off. Very nice when it’s 90+ and you are walking to the truck. Can role the windows down and let out some hot air.
Eli Hauschild OK Thank you
Eli hauschild how many did thing did you change and what did you change
Awesome video. Do you know if that module will allow me to change the DRL configuration on a 2016 Edge? I'd like to turn off the headlight DRL and retain the LED foglight surround DRL. I'm upgrading to HID low beams and can't have them as a DRL.
This is the closest resource link I could find. Not same car.. but might have same values.
www.2gfusions.net/showthread.php?tid=4573&pid=80488#pid80488
where does one get the excel file for their car? Also could you show the other way to change stuff? The non hex way?
If you have Facebook, I would try asking in this group: m.facebook.com/groups/1844420822482460
I like your video. Will this turn off inside lights when ignition is turned off?
Thanks a lot for this! Do you know how I might turn off the double horn honk when the vehicle is running and you shut a door and the keys are on your person (not inside vehicle). It scares the crap out of me every time!
You change BCM 726-41-02. xxx0 xxxx xxxx.
So just changing that specific value to a zero.

Eli, where did you get the spreadsheet with the listing of all the addresses, I need one for my 2009 F150 and cannot find it anywhere. thanks
I’m not sure. I haven’t seen one for 2009’s.
Thanks for your great video
May i have spreadsheet for ford fusion 2017 sport please !
If I had one I would hook it up! Try a Forscan Facebook group. They may have one.
Does anyone know if there is a similar software to Forscan for Honda vehicles? Thanks in advance.
Eli, where can I find the list of hexadecimal settings you show on the video?
It’s in the description. It’s the excel link one.
random question about forscan for 2016 f150...i swapped my instrument cluster from the 2 inch one to the 4.2 inch one and the cluster came from a truck with a electric parking brake and my truck has a regular mechanical one...i was wondering if you knew if you could change this in the icp on forscan. i see in the bcm theres coding to change it but not in the icp. thanks
Hi Brenda. I'm actually not sure on that one. My only thought here is that an electric parking brake will have an electric lock and release mechanism, so even if you could set it up in the ICP, it won't be able to actuate the mechanical brake. I would check out the Facebook group called 'ForScan Users'. They have the most knowledgeable people on the subject.
Great video I have a question I have a 2013 Ford F-150 I guess you can call it the Canada version will this work for my truck to shut off my DRL’s
Colin O'Donoghue I’m pretty sure you can. You would use this spreadsheet though: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15MQ8CEh7eSXUJYjPg-J8uUqpLwP_xyqbfQHB0rAnXNs
I have two f 150 one 2016 and new one , you know if I can use it in the two cars? or I need to buy a linceses for each car?
sebastian borbor I’m not certain since their licensing policy is different now. But my best guess is that one license will allow you to use it on any vehicle. Each vehicle will create a different profile, but the profile, as far as I know, does not require another license.
Anyone know any spreadsheets for 3rd gen expeditions(2007-2014)?
I have a 2015 Ford F-150 XL Supercab. Do you know what mods I can do with FORSCAN. I have SYNC 3 in my vehicle but have the instrument cluster that goes with it.
I'm not too sure! I'd say pretty much anything on the list that doesn't pertain to the Sync 3. There are quite a few settings that aren't related to that so you'd have plenty of stuff you could change.
Hey nice vid, waiting for my OBDII to come in, do you keep the truck running or just on?
I don't. I just keep the key in the on position.
Eli Hauschild thanks bud can't wait till Wednesday for my adapter
I have a problem, I did the bambi mood and now my turn signals are hyper flashing inside the truck but they are flashing normal on the outside of the truck, that's all i did was the bambi mood nothing else. Can anyone help me with this?
Do you have LED turn signals or not? What year and trim vehicle do you have?
Eli Hauschild Sorry I have a 2018 F150 Lariat with the 502A package, yes i do have The factory LED lighting.
Taz Man I wish I wasn’t so busy otherwise I could dig in and help. Go check out a Facebook group called Forscan users and post your question there.
atmospheric82 ok I will do that, this is my kind of luck when it comes to things like this, I post a question in the forscan forum and people talk to me like I'm stupid and just need to read the instructions plus they are rude. I saved the factory setting and the way my computer saved it is a whole line of numbers so I'm going to try and set it back to the factory setting.
Shoot, most of us have all ran into a weird issue with Forscan! I turned on some Canadian feature at one point lol.
I would revert back. Try it one more time. If it does the same thing, shoot me a message.
How long did it take you to become a forscan member to get extended lincense
About 2-4 hours. Depends on what day of the week.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, thanks for sharing the spreadsheet, does this work for 2016 Explorer Sport ?
Abdul Kader Othmani I’m not sure if it would work for an Explorer or not.
I'll give it a try & let you know :D
Can you please let me know if you are able to turn ON the engine sound enhancement ? Thanks ahead of time!
Christopher Molina I can’t seem to find the answer. Everyone talks about how to disable, but not re-enable.
yeah same here, did you do the global windows to your XLT as well?
I'm going to do the bambi mood tomorrow and I'm going to just leave it, do you know if i still have to renew my license even if I'm not going to go back into my settings on the truck?
Nope you will only have to renew the license if you decide to make more changes a couple months down the road.
Eli Hauschild Sounds good Thank you
Thank you,!!!!
where do you go to get the spreed sheet on the right?
Mignon Meyer it’s in the description above.
Does the Google Docs sheet also apply to 2013 F150's?
No, you will need this one: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15MQ8CEh7eSXUJYjPg-J8uUqpLwP_xyqbfQHB0rAnXNs
for ford ka?? what program use ?
What version of ForScan are you using?
2.3.14 beta for Windows.
Hey buddy one more question is it possible for you do send me a copy of all your codes I would really appreciate it i kinda messed up and I forgot to save the original
Use this link. It has all of our original module files. www.motorcraftservice.com/Home/SetCountry?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorcraftservice.com%3A1402%2FAsBuilt
Hey how do I find the spreadsheet for a 2011 f150
augpookie I would look here. www.f150forum.com/f38/forscan-applications-349018/
atmospheric82 ok thank you!
Do these void any warranties at all?
No. These are simple setting changes. Only difference is dealer charges you to do them, but you can do them for free.
However, if you enter incorrect values and cause an issue with the settings, and cant figure out how to revert back to stock, the dealer will charge you if you resort to them fixing it.
Do you need a driver for the obd2?
Rodel Tuazon I personally didn’t for my laptop. But some people do find they need to download a driver for the adapter.
What kind of headlights are those?
Ryan Glacken they are the Anzo switchbacks.
How long does it take for forscan to except you
Usually just a couple hours. Sometimes longer if you register on the weekend.
Eli Hauschild alright one more question what’s the code for power windows
It’s called Global Windows in the spreadsheet.
Eli Hauschild because the door got replaced and now the automatic windows inside don’t work you have to constantly go up and down on the button
Hmmmm. I would think it should work the same as before. Existing functionality should not need Forscan, but I don't know for sure. Your best bet is to join the Facebook group called "Forscan Users". List your details in a post there, and they will help out.
