Can I use FORSCAN to enable the 360 camera at all speeds? I have used the search function and can't find it, but I seem to remember reading somewhere in the 135 pages it can't be done. I just want to turn it on as I pull into my driveway instead of having to basically stop first.

Can not be done w/ forscan. Its hardwired that way. You would need an external module like NavTV or other external wiring to change the hardwiring.

Hey all, noob here, but can't seem to find this specific tweak....

Is it possible to have the mirrors fold in/out when any of the homelink buttons are pressed? I have a narrow garage that I enter/exit through the garage door (pad on outside) so would be very useful if the mirrors would fold in when i pushed the homelink to drive in, and then would open again when i pushed homelink again after I pulled back out the next morning. Thoughts? And thank you in advance for the help, this forum is invaluable!

Don’t think so... closest is “Lincoln mirrors” but that isn’t what you want

I've used it on my 17' and a 16' but trying to connect to a 19' yesterday it wouldn't connect.
I used the
OHP ELMconfig Forscan OBD2 Adapter with MS-Can & HS-Can Switch
on a 19' truck over the weekend and it worked to disable the auto stop/start.
My usual thought is to go with a wired connection over bluetooth or wifi whenever you can for simplicity.

Is there a way to have the Cruise (on/off) be enabled all the time? Minor annoyance but pushing the button on the steering wheel at every startup is annoying and inevitably I try to engage cruise then realize it's not "on" yet. I don't see this in Forscan but am just getting my adapter today and making my list of changes for the weekend. This is one thing I miss about my GM truck, turn on the cruise button and never think about it again. Hope there is a way like with start/stop, etc. thanks!

I enabled the blinkers as apart of the DRL, and I thought that be the side mirror blinkers, not the bumper blinkers. ANyone know how to do it to the mirrors and make it look like the F250s?

I updated the software to the current version and it works now. Thanks
