Bronco ForScan Thread

[NavyBOFH]

So those definitely did help! I noticed a HUGE difference with the flat EQ, but the rear speakers were missing some upper range. With the modifications noted a few posts above, the rears are performing as full range. Now instead of running around at 18 volume on the highway I can comfortably listen at 12 with better audio.

I get this message everytime I start my Bronco Sport..."Vehicle Data (e.g. dianostic) Collection Active see settings to adjust and for info".
Does anyone know where to go and steps i need to go to fix this so it will not come up on screen again. I go to settings and from there i have no idea where to go.

I think you posted to the wrong topic. This topic is about using Forscan to modify the vehicle software. I believe the information you seek is in your Owner's Manual. Check out the section on "Connected Vehicle."

Glad it worked. I plan on doing mine tonight.

Changed mine just now. Definitely a noticeable difference. I actually didn't care for the EQ change though. It definitely made a difference in volume, but I thought it sounded a bit more distorted. My guess is this is because of the additional tweeters I have in the front(I left the stock tweeters in place for now). I reverted the EQ back to 01 for now.

I might try the same. I grabbed Focal 165AC speakers so I have a tweeter in each door and the dash. The post I linked below from Bronco6G another member used an external DSP to map the head unit response to the external DSP which was where I was not happy with the idea that the rear speakers were rolling off bass so sharply.

We're going to need to play with this to see the different responses from my speakers. It's odd that the bronco group is using 3800 which sets the output as non tweeter only. I would think this would then cut the higher frequency level. I suppose it might be most effective with the EQ set to 00. Guess we'll have to play with it.

Perhaps trying 3803 (no center channel for us) and setting EQ to 00 would be beneficial. That's mirroring what they are doing but without the center. Might be worth a listen.

So
727-01-01 = 3803, 0002, XXXX
This would be woofer only for both front and rear with no center.

727-01-02 = 0900, 0000, XXXX
For the flat EQ.

Perhaps that will stop the fronts from getting the distortion I was hearing and correct he bass roll off in the rears as the Bronco group found.

I've edited this post like 3 times and keep adding to it.... anyway. It's raining pretty hard here so I might not get to this today. @NavyBOFH, if you try this change let me know your results since we have a very similar setup.

23MY became supported in the version released March 29th, 2023. I tweaked a couple parameters - auto start/stop disable didn't work (so I just installed the inline wired hardware one for that purpose) and restored the BodyCM back to where it was.

Powerpoint timeout in seconds did work (which is important, because my cell phone booster draws an amp while on - that sort of drain after engine off for ~1hr10m on the default setting isn't good for the battery).

Haven't felt the need to tweak much else yet, but I'll peruse the options available.

Thread is kinda old and after reading thru all 14 pages have we come to the conclusion if ForScan CAN enable the global windows up/down? Also curious it’s possible to put the speed limit sign on the dash as well for the BS that doesn’t have the 360 Assist+…

Global window open is enabled by default on cars that are capable. You must have one-touch switches on all windows to enable global window open.

I think this one is better, been using it for the last 6 months with no issues. The benefit s that it doesn't cancel your ODB2 connector, so you don't have to take it off when going for a service. Super simple to install,

I don't see a difference between the two?

Is that just for Ford vehicles? I only ask because my Chevy and Nissan cars only has one touch on driver side, but was able to put all windows down with remote.

So if it doesn’t do it now, then I’m just wasting my time

I believe hardware changes are required to get this feature, and I'm pretty sure it's more than just the switches. The motors require limit switches and sensors to determine if something is blocking the window to prevent injury.
