Hey man. Found this in the fourm. Save you some time searching or waiting for an answer.
This looks to be from a Gen2, do you know if there is an update for Gen3s? I was going through the same route in Gen3 Forscan but I think it is different. It looks like this option could be farther down coding for Gen3s, but didn't want to go exploring with it if I was wrong.

So this adapter plus Windows laptop:


Is better for adjusting ForScan settings over this adapter and Android phone:

Can’t comment on the second option as I use the usb cable, but why spend an extra 80 bucks for the same results?

Sorry if I am confusing everyone, if you follow the original PDF for the Stereo Aux enabling in the Gen3 spreadsheet it looks to be unrelated to the audio:

in that PDF from the first page, it says set this code to the 8, so I just think this may have changed for Gen3 vs the file for Gen2

I dipped my toe into the ForScan pond today and after saving the as-builts for every module, I started working through the typical changes (double honk, bambi mode, brighter DRLs, markers on w DRLs, numerical gauges, belt chimes, Unreal theme, glare free lights, etc). ETA: Gen 3 - new '23.

I also tried the audio system mod from post #9 of this thread - and the difference is substantial. Really transforms the stock B&O system.

Here's the changes I made (in the file attached to post #9):

ACM727-01-01xxx8xxxxxxxx
ACM727-01-020A88C3xxxxxx

Going to do the "camera on w fwd sensors" mod tomorrow. I didn't have it copied down right when I was in the truck with the laptop this afternoon.
:cheers:

Do you have a Gen 3 or Gen 2?
