BTW, the following has been reported working in '18 Raptors for completely disabling Start/Stop if anyone is interested in trying for '17s also:

BCM 726-48-02 x0xx xxxx xx
FCIM 7A7-01-01 xxxx x0xx xx (optional - disables switch)
IPC 720-01-01 xxxx 1xxx xx (optional - disables stop/start message center in the trip/fuel IPC menu)

I will be doing this Wed. when my bluetooth dongle shows up for laptop on my 2018 Raptor.

After backing up all modules, I've programmed a few items, Lincoln mirrors, numbers above gauges, etc. I then tried to restore one module "to test" but I got an error reading file. Found out all of my backups say error reading file.

And I was dumb and didn't record each change. I left it up to the backups

Any thoughts?

One of the coolest things with this is disabling DRL's on Canadian trucks. We don't get to run around with just the orange markers like the US ones.

I ordered an OBDLink MX, if anyone in Northern AB wants me to disable their DRL's etc I could probably help you out! You can even add an option to enable it in the settings to add and remove the DRL's whenever you want.

What’s the values you used to get the option on the settings?

I've heard of like 2 other guys say the same thing but I kind of chalked it up to something like them misnaming their backup files or something. FORScan will give this error if you try to load an APIM backup .abt file while you're in the IPC programming screen. Now after hearing you say it too, I'm starting to wonder if there's some issue if the backups were created on a certain version of FORScan or something.

Try this, backup your current IPC module with a name like "IPC-backup-today". Then go into IPC programming screen and make this change: 720-07-01 xxxx xxxx Exxx (adds LOBO to splash screen) and write the change. Then try loading your "IPC-backup-today.abt" file and click "write all" at the bottom and see if it works. If it doesn't, manually get rid of the LOBO change with this: 720-07-01 xxxx xxxx 6xxx

Awesome thank you...wait ..it works on us cars as well right?

The "Daytime Lights" option in the cluster menu can added/removed on any U.S./Canadian truck. However, if it's a Canadian truck with forced DRLs, you need to make the BCM changes listed on the spreadsheet to convert it from forced DRLs to Cluster-controlled.
U.S. trucks are already set at cluster-controlled.

So today i braved the forscan!!

Did the lincoln folding mirrors! This should have been standard but VERY thankful for all here who put it together and the creator of the spreadsheet!

What other changes have people made which they feel were as useful as that one? Ive read alot of what people have done but not alot of it got my attention.

If I want to have Park lights and Halo DRL lights to come on when truck is running what exact changes do I need to make out of the ones listed in spreadsheet?

Feature Name Module Address Value change

DRL - Parking Lights only (stock LEDs only)
BCM 726-26-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx
726-50-01 01xx

and do I also do this for Halos below or will the upper one do both?

DRL - Turns only (Halogen/aftermarket lights only) BCM 726-45-01 xxxx 7Fxx xxxx
726-50-01 08xx
