Well now that we are seeing Deliveries of the BS, hopefully we shall start seeing some progress with Forscan and whats available for the BS.
Sometimes, the dev team at Forscan will need some time to unlock all features as this is a brand new model but from what I understand from what I have...
often if there are issues right away, its usually a good sign of simple issues. Anytime I had an issue early in car ownership, it was usually a sensor or something simple.
The more serious issues usually appear down the road and are impossible to predict. That being said, aside from a 2013 Focus...
Forscan once it gets updated to support the Bronco Sport will have a way to remove the "double honk" as well as add/remove some other hidden features, nothing spectacular mind you, but helpful none the less for some of these little annoying things :)
You would need a new ACM module with the HD function from a compatible donor and Forscan to properly program the new module to your VIN and trim since the HD radio is only found on the B&O ACM.
There are also some vendors online who sell these upgrade kits but can be very expensive.
There are a...
bug your dealer. mine informed me of it being serialized but I had to ask for the VIN which he sent me about a week after. Once you have the VIN, that is where the magic happens and can track if your dealer isn't the best communicator.
While I agree some features being missing from the badlands and FE that are included with the OB are puzzling, however there may be some hope that some features could theoretically be activated by Forscan down the road.
I had this issue with my Ford Escape. My titanium has the cold weather...
I have a pretty good relationship with the dealership, and they've been very good at keeping me informed and working through the initial kinks from the reservation. Once they provided me the vin, I was able to track production via a link I have posted in another thread if you search my posts...
Our Black Outer Banks +OB pkg is due to arrive next week! It was built the week before yours Butterworm.
Currently sitting at the railyard in Vancouver waiting to be loaded on a truck to the dealer.
use this link and include your VIN# at the end. Firefox works best, chrome will load gibberish.

Looks like mine finished yesterday and is now ready for transport. I was told by the dealer that they would expect it early January, which by the eta date here lines up :)
We reserved our Shadow Black Outer Banks when reservations opened. My dealer says Ford Canada will process the orders on August 20th and should have confirmation for me then. Sound's like USA is getting priority as the dealer was told delivery likely would be December/January, though on the plus...
We have his and hers 2017 escapes.
Her Blue 2017 SE Sport 2.0L is the trade in.
Her first car was a Bronco II
She is getting a Shadow Black Outer Banks loaded up.
We will indeed be fighting over who gets to drive it lol.
Rapid Red and Cactus Grey are Outer Banks, the Cyber Orange is a Badlands as the grill is a different colour and details. Pics appear to be at the factory. Both look great!
The 2.0L engine should have been an option for the outer banks trim. Ford missed the mark here. Period. Everything optional is tied to a "package"
The lack of configurable options has me hesitating. I don't want the badlands off-road as this will be a daily driver on the mountain roads, not to...
