My Forscan favorite tweaks to the 2017 Ford Raptor

From my previous blog about Forscan it's a free tool that lets you monitor, modify the computers in your vehicle.  The 2017 Ford Raptor is able to take advantage of this tool as well!

Please do some research. After doing that - you'll need the following setup to repeat what I've done with my truck:

1. Windows Laptop with Bluetooth
2. http://www.forscan.org/ software, and follow the process from my previous blog.
3. A modern OBDII device, I chose the ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX Bluetooth - yes it's pricey, but it's seriously one of the best devices as you can leave it installed and it has auto power on/off.

      

The Forscan tutorial is continually updated, I highly suggest reading through it since it will simplify your understanding for your vehicle and what risks/benefits you'll find.

There are tweaks for multiple vehicles, but for the Raptor you'll want to use the F-150 Forscan spreadsheet... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uDSQ1Z5a2Wt8-kjrSiVSlDFGFHnfeuhb3RTMVz95730/edit#gid=815852466 and example is shown below:

The changes I wanted to apply are the following:

Autofold Mirrors

and the result:

Double Horn Honk disable - basically if you leave your cars in the truck and get out and close the door, you don't get that annoying double honk sound!

Engine temp & Transmission temp shows above gauges (8" Clusters only)

this is nice because you can see when things are actually warmed up!

Fake engine noise disable (TBD - I kinda like it!)

Heated & Cooled Seat Icons AND Heated Steering Wheel on home & climate screen
This is my favorite, really fills in the screen and is super usable on cold days!

Hope this has been helpful - post comments and questions if you need help!
