Adding visibility for lower cost...

Looking to add more visibility (other than the head-turning looks!) - there are some great options to add functionality for relatively low cost. 

I'm opting for the OPT7 model just for a bang-for-the-buck option... what's your take?

 it's weather sealed and comes with 2 year warranty...

Using FORScan to tweak your ride...

After a few days of researching, I have finally figured out how to download and use Forscan for the Raptor.

Here are links that I used to install/buy/download everything you'll need. 

Do this all at your own risk. It's pretty simple, and always have a backup stock file if you start playing around.

First order your favorite OBDII adapter - these have great reviews! 

OBDLink MX Bluetooth OBD-II Automotive Scan Tool for Android and Windows

1. Download Forscan from http://forscan.org/download.html
2. Download the extended license in order to use it. 

1. You'll need to make an account on the forscan.org forum site. It takes a about 30min or so for an admin to accept you, afterwards, you're good)
2. Watch this video to learn how to move around. 

Here's a link to all the "As-built" codes discovered so far. 

It's pretty straightforward and can be a little time consuming since when you re-code anything you have to cycle the ignition, but it's worth it.

USB upgrade to Sync 3 version 3.0

Well, if you're like me - you love the Ford Sync 3 interface - while it's not perfect, it's pretty darned good!  Carplay is a nice update but if you've updated to IOS 11 - you'll notice some weird things going on - but guess what!? If you don't want to wait for the WiFi update - you can install SYNC 3 Version 3.0 using a USB drive!

There are new features for CarPlay with 

IOS11 https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/23/carplay-ios-11/

1. New Nav Icon. 
2. Fixed keyboard
3. added symbol $
4. MUCH faster interface smoother, snappier
5. Support for new apps

**disclaimer - do this at your own risk! not my fault if it goes belly up!**

SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16 GB USB Flash Drive SDCZ33-016G-B35

Installation instructions: 1. Download. 2. Unzip. 3. Grab a USB Flash Drive, 4GB is fine. 4. Format the drive to either exFAT or FAT32. 5. Put the extracted files inside the flash drive. 6. Turn car on. 7. Plug in car and enjoy!!

***** Note that depending on your USB device it might take up to 10 minutes for the stereo to show "Updating System"... *****

The USB in the car is NOT USB 3 therefore read speed is limited, so if you don't see anything, DO NOT unplug - just wait.... 

There are two versions to update your particular SYNC 3 system
