I don't mind the double honk, but will definitely consider shutting it off after watching your video. Good job.

I've been using FORSCAN since I got my 2015. First change I made on that truck was Bambi mode. I havent made any changes to my 2021 yet though. Great video.

Thank you for sharing this! I need to get rid of that honk too and i want to be able to use my bed camera while driving at higher speeds too

Very helpful video! I got rid of the double-honk within a week of purchasing my truck. It’s a bit more complicated than the double- honk elimination, but I would recommend enabling the glare-free headlights as your next Forscan modification.

This is the first mod EVERYONE should do to their F-150's

Yeah I did a delivery at 615am today on a quiet street and was very happy not to have the double-honk. Cheers

Fantastic video. Very well explained.

Can’t wait to watch this tonight

This is great. Only issue I have is my day light running lights don’t work during the day

Well that is odd. Have you asked for help from Ford, or are you going to tackle this yourself?

You are super helpful. I have a 2023 Powerboost Lariat. Can you do a FORScan episode on remote rolling down windows from the remote? I would think this might be helpful in SC to let the heat out of the interior as you approach it.

Thanks Brian I'll look into this.

Great content. Love all the videos. Do you know of a way to disable the auto start/stop in sport mode on the Powerboost? I usually drive in normal, but when I do switch to sport, I would like the truck to just stay on all the time. Thanks for all the great videos!

Hi Shane, there is an entry for "auto start-stop disabled" at PSCM/730-03-01 which is near the top of livnitup's "common" worksheet. I don't know if that is ICE-motor specific or also applies to the PowerBoost. I think I've had mine in sport mode twice in two years, maybe I'll do a little hooning on it later...lol. cheers

Great job

Thanks!

Thanks Dave!😊

Another really good video. I just did the 'fix' myself on my '22 PB and it works like a charm. Thank you! Do you know if there if there's a similar 'fix' for the double-honk that happens when you lock the keys in the truck? ......... I look forward to learning what some of the other 'things you can't live with anymore' are!

David, I would learn to use the keypad on the driver's side. Hugely useful...like when your wife has the keys and you're outside the truck and it's raining...or when you're outside and you need something out of the truck and don't want to have to go back inside just to unlock it. Big time saved my bacon several times.

@fixorrepairdiy4609 Thanks for the reply. I do use the keypad quite frequently. There are times when I prefer to leave the keys in the truck - most specifically when I attend church. So, at those times I would prefer to be able to lock them in the truck without having to deal with the double-honk when I accidentally forget and lock the truck from the inside door and get the BEEP BEEP when I should have locked it with the external keypad (it's easy to do from habit /forgetfulness). That's why I was hoping for a similar fix.

FixOrRepairDIY : Question, I picked up a FORScan usb adaptor for my laptop and bought a year of support from FORScan. I was wondering, I wanted to eliminate the doublehonk as you did but I noticed that Ford has been updating Sync4 several times this last couple months, such that I need to reset my viewing screen every time after a new download. If you are also getting these updates over-the-air, do you or have you had to reprogram the doublehonk cancellation or does updating by Ford leave that setting alone? Kindest Regards, James

It still works after the OTA updates.

so let me get this right. Your in park the truck is running and you have the key in your pocket. So its running on a remote start then?

@fixorrepairdiy4609

Not necessarily. Let's say that you are driving and stop at your mailbox first before pulling in the driveway. You put the truck in park with the engine running, and if you have the key in your pocket the truck will double honk as you take about a step away from the vehicle. Pretty annoying at 5am unless you can turn it off with this mod.

What about updating tire size to fix MPH and MPG calculations after getting larger tires.

Yes, the spreadsheet code takes some getting used to. The first cluster is specified as "xxx0" so the "x" values are "don't care" and any time you see a specific number, that is the value that you need to change.

@@fixorrepairdiy4609 In the third column of this change to get rid of the double honk, the spreadsheet reads "XX--". I noticed at the top of livinitup's spreadsheet that it mentioned what you said re: ignoring the X's, but do you know what the double dashes means?

@@babbitteb I don't know what the double dashes mean. From my limited experience, it seemed to me that it was another example of "don't care" values. I do know that I ignored the values in the "- -" fields and got my mods to work, if that helps.

Will this void my warranty on a 22? Awesome videos!

I think it depends on the dealer. If you make this mod it's quite simple to put it back to stock and no one will be the wiser. Cheers

Livnitup's guide says the dealer needs to prove that any changes you made led to a defective part, e.g. disabling a horn messed up a steering gear, for example. Such modifications that do void warranties are obvious to the dealer, and can be for increasing horse power or something else.

Thanks, have a cup of coffee on me. Dave A.

very useful and easy to navigate tool. Can come in handy for so many settings. Merci

Thanks!
