    Adding Police Engine Idle / Secure Idle

    FORScan 2011-2018 Explorers shows a BCM address to enable the feature, and mentions that without an Intelligent Access key you need to add a switch. Does anyone have information about how to wire the switch? I am also curious if this physically prevents the column shifter from being moved or...

    FORScan "power point timeout" - FYI

    It may be obvious to some, but I went ahead and tested and confirmed: The settings @ FORScan 2011-2018 Explorers under the tab "Powerpoint Timeout" (BCM: 726-39-01 AAAA BBBB CCCC), the "AAAA" is completely customizable - not just the 6 options listed on the spreadsheet. The value for these...

    FYI - https://ford.oemdtc.com/Recall/17G01/r17G01C1.pdf Why are you receiving this notice? It may be possible that your vehicle’s use in high-speed pursuit and extreme and unusual maneuvers may increase the severity of a rear suspension toe link fracture should it occur. What is the effect? A...

    Anyone had Customer Satisfaction #17B22 fixed?

    Looks like it's just a computer software flash. The mailer states time to repair "less than half a day" but per Customer Satisfaction Program 17B22 - Power Steering Control Module Software Reprograming - 2013-2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility it takes 0.3 hours. After this is done is the...

    Transmission "learning" reset

    Does the PIU transmission "learn" the drivers' habits the same way that the regular Explorer does? I thought that it might not since the vehicle is likely to be driven by multiple officers and doesn't always have a "primary" driver. If it does learn, is the reset procedure simply disconnecting...

    Anti-theft alarm

    Has anyone added either an OEM or aftermarket anti-theft alarm? I'm curious what is involved (parts and difficulty of install) with adding an OEM one.

    What to put where the center dash speaker would go?

    Has anyone put anything clever in the blank plate where the center dash speaker normally is? Phone holder / GPS are the only things I've thought of.

    FORScan: Add compass heading on 2016 Interceptor?

    I wanted to fork a new thread off of this one, so that I don't hijack it: BCM code to allow rear hatch entry? stroker70 was able to add the compass display on a 2014, using: IPC 720-01-02 changed from 8E11 4C03 1931 to BE11 4CF3 194D ...but my IPC 720-01-02 is not 6 bytes long also from the...

    Any Ford technicians in Kansas City?

    I am trying to find someone with access to an IDS to help with adding a key fob (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/2016-piu-dealer-programming.458443/#post-3621887).

    Paint flaking off near roof rail weatherstrip

    Has anyone else noticed their paint flaking off around the weatherstrips that go where roof rails would normally be on a regular Explorer?

    Artificial engine sounds?

    I was poking around on the F-150 FORScan spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uDSQ1Z5a2Wt8-kjrSiVSlDFGFHnfeuhb3RTMVz95730/edit#gid=815852466) and noticed row 52: "Fake engine noise disable". Does anyone know if PIUs have artificial engine noise?

    "Regular Car Reviews" videos - 2014 PIU

    Making of: I didn't think it was one of his better ones, but still relevant and interesting. Is it true that the 2014 turn signal returns to center? On my 2016 it does not.

    Power distribution junction block + battery saver

    Is the rear power distribution junction block protected by the battery saver automatic shutoff feature? It seems that it is always powered, even >30 minutes after key-off.

    Has anyone added a 3rd row 12v outlet?

    I was looking for a place to tap into the wire harness and get 12V. It looks like the location where the outlet should go (on civilian Explorer, or maybe PIU w/ upgrades) is rear driver side, beneath the cup holder where the third row would go. I popped off this piece and found a connector on...
