    11+ Explorer Forscan Spreadsheet

    I found this on a Facebook FPIU group. Not as comprehensive as the original but has a lot. https://docs.google.com/file/d/1RYc_R0stE4id0Gj1RabP9hGax2vjsa42/edit?filetype=msexcel

    Trying to get Remote Keyless Entry on my 2017 PIU

    Those can't be programmed; as far as I know only the OEM Ford fobs have the 48 digit character that's needed to program it.

    Could this potentially be used to program keyfobs for 2016+?

    I saw that post too, haven't tried it. I ended up getting an adaptor with IDS and got it done. If I remember right, the guy on the post said he pressed one of the buttons and got it working. Only issue he had apparently was that the car wasn't honking on lock, which is a Forscan setting.

    2016 PIU Replacement Fob Issue

    I don't think the vehicle will give you any message for a fob with the PIU. Try changing the battery in the keyfob, if that doesn't work then it wasn't programmed properly.

    Best way to add keyless remote entry to my 2019 PIU?

    I used VXDiag with my 2017 to get the OEM Keyfob working. It's a bit of a suspicious program, so I used a virtual machine on my laptop to use it, but you get access to IDS so you can do all the programming. It needs a $120 device plus the keyfob which I think was about $20. This is probably the...

    New to the 2017 FPIU - Help needed..

    I got the VXDiag to use IDS for programming a remote for my PIU. I do not trust the software; my browser and antivirus both flagged it. I ended up using a virtual machine on my laptop in order to use it. It works, for what it's worth, but a ton of hassle. My local dealership wanted to charge...

    2017 piu console

    When I took the OEM mounting plate out there were still the holes to mount the console brackets; they bolt in. I did have to cut some of the rubber floor away, but fit perfectly fine into the car and the console. The brackets I got were CA5Z-54045B36-A and CA5Z-54045B34-A.

    Is there a key fob with a blade, lock/unlock and remote start?

    You'd need a key that has the 48 digit code in order to program even with IDS as far as I understand. The all-in-one key that I got (CWTWB1U793) did not have the code. The original key that I have for my other 2014 Ford does not have the key either; only the Ford keyfob basic lock/unlock/trunk...

    2017 PIU Remote Start

    I personally had a very bad experience with 12V and ended up returning the kit I had; but to be fair they do mention on their site that you need a hood switch. The install/uninstall process sucks though, my knuckles still feel the pain.

    Is there a key fob with a blade, lock/unlock and remote start?

    I was curious if there's a key compatible with the 2016+ (specifically 2017) that would be essentially an all in one. From what I understand, the key must have the 48 digit char to program to a PIU. I currently have the standard stand alone fleet key and a seperate fob for lock/unlock/trunk. I...

    PIU Engine Idle install success

    Thank you for the information. Do you have the part number for the bezel that holds the switch?

    PIU Engine Idle install success

    VXDiag Nano is able to use IDS? Would you be able to program keyfobs with it as well? I'd like to know more about the process and where you purchased yours.

    remote start

    Seemed like it would be a great system if it worked and it was all packaged cleanly. The set I got didn't work at all, and I had issues with their customer service immediately after receiving the system. They weren't willing to help me out at all until I opened up a dispute through PayPal. The...

    remote start

    https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/2013-piu-remote-keyless-locks-and-start-procedure.468153/ There's this thread for enabling remote start that may help. It may be easier and may be possible with your car since it's a 2013. I'm not sure about programming an EvoALL but there is...

    Could this potentially be used to program keyfobs for 2016+?

    Tried going to the dealer with the same exact keyfob. They said they couldn't do it, and this was a very large dealership. Rather not risk ~$200 for another dealership to tell me they're not able to do it. I understand that it requires IDS to program, but with Forscan being able to use the 48...

    Could this potentially be used to program keyfobs for 2016+?

    I was looking at Forscan latest version changes history and noticed this section: + Configuration and Programming functions BCM "RF Keypad Learning by Serial Number", "RF Keypad Learning by 48-char Code" for: Explorer 2016-2019 model years Anyone know if there may be a way to program the...

    Tire Recommendations?

    I'm looking for new tires on my 2017 PIU and was wondering if you all recommend staying with the Goodyear RS-A or use a different brand. I live in California and rarely ever have to deal with rain/snow. I still have the steelies and plan on staying with 245/55R18.

    2015 PIU Mysterious side lights

    For the holes in the trunk lid, they take Whelen IONs. I have pictures with the part numbers from the ones I took out of my 2017 PIU after replacing them with 3D printed blanks.

    Programming several items on 17 PIU

    I've been trying to get the marker lights only as DRLs for a while but can't figure out how to get the headlights off. Along with that, the ambers are very bright. Not sure if it's possible. The dimming is programmed on Forescan and can easily found. I can find the code or the specific option if...

    Black PIU color code?

    I got a touch up pen from Amazon in Shadow Black to fix some chips on my PIU. The part number for the one I got was PMPC-19500-7343A. You can purchase a Monroney sticker or a original window sticker from Ford if you want a definite paint color. I wasn't able to find a reliable decoder when I...

    Trying to get Remote Keyless Entry on my 2017 PIU

    The toolbox is for IDS, not FORScan. They're separate programs. You can't program keyfobs with FORScan.

    ION trunk light covers

    I took out the trunk plastic trim off my 2017 PIU to see if I could get the rear lighting working. I figured since I wasn't planning on using the stock red/blue LED flashers I'd take them out. I ended up 3D printing a pair of blank Whelen ION sized blocks that I modeled that fit it's place. I...

    2017 PIU DRL amber only

    Does anyone know how to enable DRLs to run with just the amber parking lots? I messed around for a while with Forscan and was only able to get the amber lights to come on during the day along with the lowbeams. I couldn't figure out how to have the low beams to stay off with the ambers on. When...
