In Canada all vehicles are set to have daylight running lights on at all times. We don’t even have an option to change them.

Mark, I'll tag you over on the FORScan thread to keep this as an FDRS thread.

Tried out my updated truck today with BC 1.4. BC 1.4 compared to 1.0 is so much better, it is like night and day. Lane Change assist worked great. No more ping/ponging from side to side in the lane. Didn't have any big trucks on the short drive I took, but I'm sure no more hugging a big rig anymore. Thank you everyone for all the updates and help. Greatly appreciate all the help. Next up is the FORScan for camera trailer side view when turn signals activate while towing.

When they did mine "I said that I had an internal ambient lights problem" and they update it.

I think it's almost impossible to answer that question since dealerships are incredibly unpredictable.

@ENG430 dealership was easily convinced, it appears. But that hardly is representative of another dealership that might be just 5 miles away.

He sits on a throne of lies. It takes minutes. No need to even set up the battery charger.

Agreed, less than 20 minutes at dealership.

I'm taking my truck in on Monday to a different dealer than where I purchase my truck from to get the axle recall started. They told me 2-3 days and I need to leave my truck for the Recall. (I know total BS) but I need it done before my 2,500 mile camping trip in July. I'm going to ask them to do the BCM update since the truck is there. I will let you know what they say.

Planning to update my 2021 Job 1 F-150 Limited Powerboost this summer. I can borrow a mongoose cable locally.

Any suggestions for an inexpensive OBDII cable to check the battery SOC and voltage with FORscan? I don’t expect to use the cable other than check the battery and reset BMS. I have a Core PL2320 and want to be sure that the battery is ready before I begin. Don’t want start update process and the battery is an issue if I can charge the battery well before I start.

Thanks

You can get a vlinker cable for FORScan on Amazon for $30.
