Disabling honking alerts

Does fooling around with it void warranty?

That is an entire debate that can be had in a separate thread. Short answer is that you back up your asbuilt modules, so you can revert all FORScan changes before bringing your truck in for warranty work.

But when you revert back to your backup doesn't that essentially clear the cache so they can technically tell the module was installed then uninstalled? Or something like that? I don't think we've confirmed either if this can be detected over the air yet

There is a lot of strange stuff under the privacy settings in the infotainment screen. Things like Share your Driving Data, Share Vehicle Settings, others. You can toggle each off, but I guarantee that will make things like FordPass not work right. It is the classic trade your data for convenience play.

If you want to be 100% sure that you won't void your warranty, don't use things like FORScan. If you want to unlock the full capabilities of your vehicle and assume a small bit of risk, then go for it.

I hate this feature on Gen 2 too.

car honks as well when wife leaves keys in her explorer... this is a lifesaver as she would lose her head if not attached

FORScan best $20 I've spent in a while.

Took "Honk" when exit off on the "18 Gen2, '18 Expedition, and '15 Explorer. No more HONKS!!!!!!

For what it’s worth I made a bunch of forscan changed to my 20 802a. Honk, mirror retract at lock, running light to parking (3 grill lights) and maybe a couple others. I went in for a new something or another module because my touchscreen wasn’t working anymore and they replaced the module no questions asked. The changes I made were intact when the truck was returned. Obviously not related to the module issues under warranty

I just remembered I disabled the fake exhaust noise coming through the subwoofer. If you do anything in addition to the honk get rid of this racket.

Does gen3 do this too? I hadn’t noticed it
