  1. How do I disable the 2 beep warning when exiting a running vehicle?

    It should be possible in FORScan, but Huge Guy is correct, there is no "mapped" on/off function in the software yet. However, it appears that someone on the FORScan forums has disabled it via a direct edit on the 1.5L and 2.0L current model Escapes. The code that did the trick is: BCM...
  2. Premium Fuel ?

    Anytime. FWIW, I've had a Fiesta ST with the 1.6L Ecoboost and the MP215 ECU upgrade for 7 years now and like the Mini, it is very noticeable, in both power and MPG if you feed it anything less than 91 octane (and unlike the Badlands, I can see better performance all the way up to 93). But...
  3. Premium Fuel ?

    Ford does typically "program" its Ecoboost engines to take some advantage of premium fuel. A good overall discussion on the 2.0L in the Escape can be read here: regular or premium fuel | 2013+ Ford Escape Forum Personal observations with my Badlands with the 2.0L has been similar to many of...
  4. New Jersey Anyone aware of gas pedal adjustments?

    Ford has always been odd about pedal positioning on their vehicles. While I love my Fiesta ST for example, it was so notorious for the odd placement of the gas pedal in relation to the brake and clutch that a whole cottage industry popped up for ways to modify it (something I did myself early...
  5. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Yeah, at the time I ordered it none were to be had and I figured I'd give the official Ford accessories site a try as it was inexpensive and I had some credits. Now it has really become an experiment in how-long-can-Ford-drag-such-a-simple-little-item-out. ?
  6. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Have had one of those on order from Ford accessories since June 5th. At least when it does arrive I know it will look great. ?
  7. How is the Badlands at Highway Speeds?

    Badlands with the 2.0L is a great road trip vehicle. Quiet, comfortable and very good power at any reasonable highway speed.
  8. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Yup. The MX+ is the new one. Been very happy with it so far.
  9. Ford Bronco Sport Shines in J.D. Power APEAL Study For Emotional Attachment and Excitement Level

    The Ford Bronco Sport took first place in the Small SUV category, while Mustang Mach-E was voted top Compact SUV. Both models beat their segment competition in nearly every category, from exterior to powertrain to driving comfort: FORD BRONCO SPORT, MUSTANG MACH-E SHINE IN J.D. POWER APEAL...
  10. Transmission issues

    For liability reasons alone I'd be surprised if you could find a shop that will assist you with a real-world diagnosis. However if you can find a shop or tuner with a 4-wheel dynamometer, you should be able to safely conduct a test.
  11. What the heck are these?!

    Convenience clips. Ford showed this example in some of its promotional material: I've used them for securing grocery bags (great for keeping a sack of fruit from ending up everywhere for example) as well as keeping luggage from sliding around on longer trips.
  12. Zero problems, miles driven, Sound off peoples

    Badlands Delivery on New Years Eve (12/31/2020) 6,970 Miles, mix of around town with occasional Midwest road trips and one trip to the Gulf Coast. No issues to date.
  13. MP3 music on a flash drive question

    Plex. I was fortunate enough to invest in them during their Kickstarter phase and have a lifetime membership ?. Even so I believe I would still be using it as it is an outstanding product overall. And I have a fairly large library at this point. I'd be embarrassed to state how many pictures...
  14. MP3 music on a flash drive question

    Well, thank you and much appreciated. Technology support has indeed been a big part of my career, so it's always nice to dust off the skills from time to time. Sure. let's do a slightly deeper dive, beginning with Album Art. Windows Media Player does/will create the album art automatically...
  15. MP3 music on a flash drive question

    So, one of the best and simplest rippers that should work great for a USB Flash Drive is actually Windows Media Player, which you should already have. If you have never used it before, launch it, click on organize, then options, then the Rip Music tab: I would set the format to MP3, and the...
  16. MP3 music on a flash drive question

    What application did you use to perform the rip?
  17. Disabled auto start/stop with Forscan

    Do you remember what code change you made for the heated seats display in SYNC?
  18. Disabled auto start/stop with Forscan

    Made the change over the weekend and I can confirm that for the most part it is a "silent" change. No DTC codes are generated, and as you have mentioned, the only indication that it has been disabled is in the dash display when you first start up and then whenever it would have engaged while...
  19. Disabled auto start/stop with Forscan

    Cool. I've got some good backups of all the As-Built settings at this point, so I'll likely give a shot myself in the next few days. ?
