Bambi mode for 2014 Explorer Sport - FORscan

[barrysvt]

I am seeking the BdyCM parameters to enable fog lights to be used at the same time with high beams in a 2014 Explorer.
(There is a post for a 2016, but the parameters for line 726-27-01 in the 2014 look completely different?)

Has anybody used FORscan to do this in a 2014?

BdyCM 726-11-01 0002 0000 41 (Foglamp with highbeam: Enabled)
BdyCM 726-11-01 0001 0000 40 (Foglamp with highbeam: Disabled, US default)

BdyCM 726-11-01 0002 0000 41 (Foglamp with highbeam: Enabled)
BdyCM 726-11-01 0001 0000 40 (Foglamp with highbeam: Disabled, US default)

Is this the same for all 2011 - 2015 models?

1995E, I cant say, but so far the general idea has been that 2011-2015 are the same & 2016+ is completely different. Check your stock As Built Data, if it matches the above then it should work. Also, as far as I know, there is no harm in trying, you can always go back.

You can always go back, but save your original As Built data. It will prompt you to save the profile.

Thanks! I'm just starting to try and mess with FORSCAN since I haven't had the time previously. Is there a tutorial on how to do everything? Also, I have one of those VCX clones a friend gave me and I wonder if I could use that instead of buying a bluetooth reader.

Clone won't work if it cannot read ms-can.

I bought one of these. It works great.

Thank you omar302!
BdyCM code 726-11-01 0002 0000 41 (Foglamp with highbeam: Enabled) worked perfect in my 2014 Sport.
(I also disabled the dreaded double beep!)
Thank you FORscan crew!

interesting, i've done enabling the drl on mine using forscan and will try this out.
is there any interesting features i can enable/disable using forscan? besides from the double beep coz i dont have push start.
learning everyday is fun

For those that enable DRL as fog lights, you'll probably also get the green indicator in the instrument panel. This also can be disabled, but it will also disable the indicator when fog lights are manually turned on at night.

Fog Light Indicator:

2013 Explorer (believe it's the same for 2011-2015):
720-01-02 F42C 0862 984C (Fog light indicator enabled)
720-01-02 F42C 0062 984C (Fog light indicator disabled)

2011 MKX (believe it's the same for 2011-2015):
720-01-02 EC2D OAE2 D908 (Fog light indicator enabled)
720-01-02 EC2D O2E2 D908 (Fog light indicator disabled)

2015 Expedition (believe it's the same for 2015-2017):
720-01-02 240B 1069 (Fog light indicator enabled)
720-01-02 240B 0069 (Fog light indicator disabled)

@omar302 my ex as built format is BdyCM 726-1101-0301-0000-43

@omar302 my ex as built format is BdyCM 726-1101-0301-0000-43

My guess would be to change this:

from BdyCM 726-11-01 0301-0000-43
to BdyCM 726-11-01 0302-0000-43

But make sure you save the original value to be able to restore in case it does not work.

Foglamp with highbeam??
That's really interesting.

I'm not seeing the actual BCM settings you're referencing in the spreadsheet. Actually, not seeing much at all in there.

I did enable the EQ settings, nav in motion, tried to set the parking lamps as DRL, but that didn't work. Going to do bambi mode next.

What BCM settings?

What BCM settings?

they refernced a bdycm setting above for bambi mode. looking on the link you supply theres nothing for bambi mode on the bcm settings.

Looks good.

I may start playing around to see if I can get the climate menu back onto the right productivity screen like it was in 2011.
