2021+ F-150 FORScan List / Database / Spreadsheet

[Kobylash]

Has anyone found a way to force the DRLs on while the truck is in Park and the lights are set to Auto? I understand that true DRLs are only supposed to engage while in gear but I’d prefer to have them on all the time.

Do you have global windows on all windows or just front driver and passenger? Thanks in advance

Fronts only

I debated on installing navigator software onto my DDM .. or trying to.

I had this same idea but in regards to the IPC, could you possibly force Raptor/Tremor software to a basic digital IPC to get those different features and looks?

Not without having issues. You have to know what all has to be done it’s not just firmware.

Rats!
It's such a tease! ?

Sorry for the Glare in the pictures below, but I had to position the truck in reference to the test trailer. (There's 4 trailers behind my truck next to my barn)

So the ProBackupAssist button initiates the menu properly

It then says it's initializing (and succeeds)

Then it requests you to position the truck until the trailer coupler is in the target area of a circle that turns GREEN when the camera recognized the coupler. And then the circle changes to the green brackets you see below.

The Sync screen requests you to put the truck in Neutral and when you do you KNOW it takes control because it rotates the steering wheel immediately using the calculated geometry? I was so pumped at that moment.

But then after going into neutral and the wheel being positioned by the software, I get instructions to put the truck in Park. And subsequently get this error: (with the orange triangle)

Same here with the error and steering wheel movement. Interesting enough when it prompts if a trailer is connected, my screen doesn’t go blue and give large icons to select as yours did. They’re smaller buttons on the bottom of the screen.

Tried it on my 21 lariat and unfortunately it doesn't work. Guess the door modules are not optimized for this function. Bummer

The "hack" I use is that I just program the #2 memory with the same seat settings but adjust the side mirrors. Obviously it's not automatic when you go to reverse, but nonetheless it's a good work around

I'll be updating all the spreadsheets to 2023 level in the coming days and most will be named something like "ABS (21-23)" since there is very minimal or no difference between the years from what we've seen. If something does arise from this naming convention then it will be separated out into a specific year. I want to keep the number of spreadsheets to a minimum while still including anything that's different for certain models like Lightning or Tremor/Raptor.

Might want to sync up with @Jesse-Infotainment on the "cameras in motion" changes that popped up recently for some trucks, requiring different Forscan values than those in the spreadsheet.

Can you possibly share a quick video of the system in action?
I helped to test all this with @antho but I still get the same error as @Snakebitten.

I'm worried that you think that it worked for you because it locked on and the reticule went green.

Trailer is not close. I can drive out and make a video Tuesday. My experience after I get the green brackets:

I got prompted to shift to EDIT neutral EDIT. I did and then I had to hold the button in to get it to turn move. As the truck approached a red line appeared on the bottom of the screen and it was showing about a foot from the bumper. Once the truck got within a foot or so it prompted me to be sure the trailer was higher than the hitch. I said yes and then it moved closer. As it closed the gap it would stop and ask if the trailer had crossed the red line... I think it was having trouble with the glare. Did this a couple of times. I finally stepped on the brake and released the button as it was maybe 4 inches away at that point. Close enough.... but about an inch to the side so it would not have been successful in hooking up.

Does anyone have a 22 or 23 that works so we can see how it should work?

 

[Snakebitten]

Thanks for that update!
I admit that I never touched or held the trailer control button beyond the initial tap to trigger the routine.

Interesting. I may go mess with it some more and see what happens.

 

[Big Cam]

Does anyone know if there is a Forscan setting I can change to allow my side spot lights to be on at more than the current 5mph limit? Maybe similar to how the screen can be on past a certain speed in rock/snow mode?

 

[Snakebitten]

I don't believe so.
But it'd be a popular mod for sure.

Yea. You have to hold the button to get the "assist." Similar to having to hold the button to get park assist.

 

[Snakebitten]

I did try a few times including the various button pressing/holding techniques into the routine and still never overcame the eventual "Shift to Park" command, accompanied by the yellow triangle.

I did notice that if I ignored the command and shifted into Reverse instead, the steering wheel motor was still engaged because the resistance to me manually steering was exaggerated considerably.

If I shifted to Park as commanded, the steering control immediately returned to free unassisted.

My experience is similar to Snakebitten. I can get it to find the trailer, but when I shift to neutral and relenquish control, it gives me a yellow triangle and requires a shift to Park.

If you changed anything (lift, level, lower, heavy load in bed, wheels/tires) I'd think that the camera/IPMA calibration might need to be revisited also.
