BS Niggles

[Frenchy906]

My ‘25 Badlands doesn’t beep the horn when I get out with the keys in my pocket. There is a momentary chime. I don’t know how often it sounds, but I only hear it once before moving away from the car.

To the best of my knowledge, mine doesn’t either. And I’ve never messed with that in ForScan.

Definitely not a US vehicle spec thing either. I've rented many vehicles traveling to the US including a bronco sport, and I've never heard a horn beep when you get out with the key or leaving the key fob in the vehicle. The most you ever get is a chime. So I'm not sure where you're getting your data from.

This is what my Bronco does.

It is disabled in your BS in th BCM. Pulled the config from two other 2025 BS and it is also disabled. For sure it is enabled on my 2023, so maybe Ford changed it for the Sync 4 Bronco Sports. Good, because it is annoying af. If you do have a 21-24 that does it, you can easily turn it off in the BCM by disabling LPKENEC:

Exactly. That's all mine does that's all I've ever had any Ford do or any other brand

1. I went out of my way to get a red BS, yet I have to look at a blue one on my info screen. Any way to change it? For 45K, Ford could be accommodating.

Yeah, the color = the driving mode ... mine is always Orange for sport and I kinda like it. A "pick your color" would be cool too. I also like the Calm Views with few details.

my ‘17 F150 does the same thing.

Good to know - didn’t think I was losing my mind. Hahah.

I hear that on other vehicles and it’s like wtf were they thinking.

I like knowing the mode I'm in by the color.

Haaa! I got the Eruption Green and you have to drive in Eco mode to see the green vehicle. I thought it would be cool too if the screen matched the paint. Never gave the hump much thought. Thanks for sticking that in my brain.....

"Off-Road" is also Green on mine.

On the horn beep , Ford has been doing that for years. My wife's 2014 CMax does it. Its a safety thing so if you pull into your garage and forget to shut it off you won't die from CO2. Cars run so quietly now. I remember hearing a news story about someone dying that way and believe there was a lawsuit. I think that's why it does that. It annoying at time, but as I get older I don't mind. Hooking up my trailer I just toss the fob in a cupholder, no beeping.

The BS on the instrument panel is silver/grey or whatever even though my Bronco Sport is Hot Pepper Red, but it doesn’t bother me. The rotary gear selector is something I’m now used to, but if pressed I would rather have a more conventional shift lever or, better yet, a manual transmission, which sadly Ford doesn’t offer.

The horn beeping if you exit the car while it’s running is a bit annoying. The only solution I’ve thought of is don’t shut the door and the horn won’t beep. If you press the remote twice after turning off the engine you’re locking the doors and arming the alarm as signaled by the horn beeping. But if you press the remote only once the doors will lock, but the horn won’t beep, which I assume means the alarm is not armed.
