Adding Co-Pilot Assist 2.0 with Forscan?

[superfordman]

I have a 23 F-150 XLT 301A. I’ve confirmed I don’t have wiring from the CCM to IPMA. Stupid question is I see people wiring their own harness. How difficult is this? I’m usually a plug and play person. If there isn’t a harness to buy I’ve seen people buying:
WPT1198 - someone mentioned getting on Amazon. Is this easy to use?DU2Z-14474-CA - buying 4ea of these
18ga wire. Is that accurate? Anything special? Need like 10ft?

For the remaining items after the wires are ran is it just ML3Z-9E731-G, ML3Z-15K867-HB, and ML3Z-9C888-DA?

I was going to call my local dealer for those parts so do I just give them a random VIN I find online on a top of the line f150? Is it easier just to buy the pieces online?

My next step is to watch videos on install and then learn forscan. I’m hoping there is a video someone how how to run the wires from CCM to IPMA?

I appreciate everyone's help.

You got it, if you aren't prewired, your best bet is to just make and run your own harness from IPMA connector to CCM in one clean shot. All your parts look right except ML3Z-15K867-HB, not sure where you got that number as that isn't correct, you need ML3Z-15K867-MA. If you get parts from your local dealer, do not give them a VIN! They will reference that VIN and give you all the versions of these parts for that specific VIN, right or wrong. Just tell them you know what you are doing and order these parts number because you are making their life easier by just giving them the right part numbers up front. I'll let someone else chime in you has ran their own harness, but it is very easy, just find a place to run through the firewall and route the wire in a good manner between the two and you are good.

@Imnotthatsmart, I too got in on this thread late in the game.

Great overview! You've proven it can be done no matter what you have, just take your time and don't rush it. Like I've said and you discovered, if you have a turbo motor, the front bumper has to come off, no way around it so just plan on it. Yes the middle IPMA connector is a pain to get to, let alone pull the lock and add terminals.

I always planned on making an all encompassing thread to outline everything, but there is so much good information here I didn't want to put a fork in the road and split things. If I could hijack post #1 I would and put everything there. Since that isn't the case and this is a fairly involved and detailed mod, I'd rather people take the time to read through everything, learn about it and what they need, then ask questions. Not just read through/skim the first post and then have everyone go straight to the end asking the same questions over and over again. I guess I'm getting older and stubborn, but this is exactly what I deal with everyday in my job, I try to make people take the time to learn things for themselves, not just hit the easy button.

Amen on getting people to use widely available resources to learn.

I finally received my parts the other day and I'm about ready to add ACC to my 2023 XLT 302a. I have been meticulously comparing some asbuilt files as well as cross checking with the spreadsheet from @superfordman. I found a couple of differences for my '23 that weren't noted on the spreadsheet, so can anyone confirm if these are necessary for ACC to work?

My truck has 360 cams but no Co-Pilot Assist 2.0, so I pulled asbuilt info for a couple of close (but not exact) VINs with that package. And I'm not adding front parking sensors, so I'm trying to skip any options that sound like it's for em. But with these I'm not sure.

Address/Mask	AsBuilt	Comparison	Note
706-05-01 X*XX XXXX XX	0	C	FeatureCfg_ACC_ExtendAutoResume (FCACCEAR) Enabled, FeatureCfg_ACC_OneButtonActivate (FCACCOBA) Enabled
720-09-01 XXXX XX*X XX	4	C	LaneAssist Sensitivity (LAS) enabled

Also, anyone planning to do this should definitely double check every setting. In addition to these, I found that some other settings need to be changed from what's recommended in the spreadsheet due to some options I have (760-03-01 *XXX difference with max tow & fx4, 720-01-02 XXXX *X difference with 5.0 engine).

Using the @livnup spreadsheet to enable ACC, things got real weird. Either I omitted a step or some of the programming steps didn't take. The CCM was recognized and I was able to enter the VIN into it and I was able to calibrate it, no problem. But there were too many DTCs that wouldn't clear no matter what I tried. I had issues such as Collision Assist not available, Traction control not available, etc. So, first rule is don't panic. I simply restored my pristine (locked in a vault) as-built backup to all the affected modules and the best I can tell, the truck is back to pre-ACC attempt condition. Clean slate.

That said, there is one DTC in the IPMA module that won't clear and I'm not even certain it wasn't there before all this began. The DTC is U3000:49-28. I've researched as much as I can find online with some explanations but no cures. I've reset the IPMA in hopes that would take care of it but it hasn't thus far. I can't really tell if this is affecting the performance or safety of the truck but I do have TSR turned on and it's working, so I know the image processing front camera is working. Also, the backup camera is working normally. Is it necessary when adding the CCM to run a Local Interconnect Network New Module Calibration on the IPMA?

My IPMA is a model ML3T-14G647-CS. If I have to order another one, so be it. Once I get this issue solved, I'll begin the ACC process all over again. Once I hopefully get to the point where stuff is working with a few nuances, I'll jump back on this thread with all my (other) questions.

Good catches! I was just about to update the sheet with some of the same since I just got done adding it to my 23.

The 706-05-01 X*XX XXXX XX is a new 23 IMPA software feature they added. Not sure how much of a difference it makes? But I enabled it on my after checking out a factory equipped 23 that also had it enabled. To me it seems lance centering kicks on much quicker now, but that might just be 23 software, or some of these changes, hard to tell.

The 720-09-01 XXXX XX*X XX has been in there for awhile and never gave it much thought since you don't control any of that through the IPC at all, its all through the APIM.

Yes, all my changes listed are "SUGGESTIONS!" on the value to change. You need to look and compare and make sure you are enabling just those features for what you current asbuilt is. Yet another reason I haven't made a one stop shop guide, as everyone's truck is different and has different values/options.

Your IPMA should work just fine I believe. You need to double and triple check all your changes as I imagine you missed one or configured one incorrectly. If they don't all match up 100%, you'll get errors. If your are for sure solid there, maybe there is a chance your IPMA isn't compatible, especially since it wasn't prewired and yours is a 22 where they got real cheap at every corner they could.

Oh you're saying that's just a setting in sync? I didn't realize that some of these were sync settings but that makes sense!

Anyway, I'm all ready to go on making the forscan changes once I can find some time to do it and the CCM install. I greatly appreciate all that you've done @superfordman, as well as everyone else who's contributed to decoding these trucks! If it wasn't for all the great info here I'd have given up at step 0.

It can be if you enable it in the APIM. I did and I don't think it makes much difference as it only affects lane keep assist

				Lane Change Assist (LCA) • Lane Keeping Sensitivity (LKS) • Advanced Trac Hard Button Control (ATHBC)
7D0-09-02	xxxx	*xxx	xx--

Oh I get ya, very interesting. It looks like LKS isn't enabled on the APIM of any of the '23 trucks with co-pilot assist 2.0 that I'm comparing to but I'll try enabling it anyway. Thanks again for all the help!

@JBMCEQY In case it helps, attached are my suggestions. 706-05-01 X*XX XXXX XX is 0 for me but all functions fine with only what is shown in the attached on my Powerboost.

Awesome thanks for sharing! It looks like we're matching on everything except for:
706-01-01: my asbuilt already had MFCTAD Enabled & MFCREMH Enabled
720-01-02: option specific for flex-fuel vehicles
730-02-03: my asbuilt didn't have Evasive Steer Assist already enabled

I'm guessing that those differences are from powerboost vs 5.0 configuration.


And one more question I have about the forscan values if anyone knows:
720-03-01 x*xx xxxx xx-- : every asbuilt with copilot assist2.0 that I've compared to has this set to 0 (with TSR IOD & Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) disabled)

So is this setting entirely optional? And what does "TSR IOD" mean?

I will attempt to install ACC again before throwing in the towel on my existing IPMA. Scouring the pre-owned truck market, I found at least four MY22 Lariats that closely matched mine, all with ACC, some with and some without TBA. I compared all 4 as-built files with @livnitup’s spreadsheet and saw that, with a few minor exceptions, they matched exactly. The differences were mainly in the ABS selection depending on whether the truck did or did not have TBA. The choices are C without and F with TBA. BTW, the part number for my IPMA that I mentioned previously was read from FORScan. I didn’t feel like removing it just to read the label. If everything works after applying the ACC mods this time and I still have the DTC in the IPMA, I’ll just ignore it since it’s a silent DTC.

Can someone send me the link to buy WPT1198? Someone mentioned Amazon but wasn’t sure which exact one to get. If I google it it comes up with a lot of options.
All other parts should be in middle of next week. Do I need anything else to put together the harness?
I know I’m always out but is the FORScan ELM327 OBD2 USB Adapter for Windows the only thing I need when doing for forscan section?

Below is the link to Amazon for the WPT1198 connector and pins. If you don't have a crimper, you need to get one and watch the YouTube videos on how to use it. I thought for a one-off job I could get away without a crimper, but I was wrong. And don't try soldering them. Here's the crimper I got and it worked great.
