    All New 2025 Police Interceptor Utility

    I'd order one if I could. How would you go onto doing without being law enforcement? Thanks for pointing out the screen! Lovely to see at least the 8" screen coming.

    All New 2025 Police Interceptor Utility

    It would've been a good decision to do it like that, it costs a bunch of money to upfit those vehicles. I bet it's gonna save a lot of money for the agency to reuse the old parts or use the stock they may have for new vehicles.

    All New 2025 Police Interceptor Utility

    I've been waiting for this since the 2025 Explorer was unveiled. Introducing you the new 2025 model year Police Interceptor Utility! Ford had just opened up orders for this vehicle! It retains the front end as previous model years to make it easier for agencies to upfit the front end without...

    Add Police Engine Idle?

    Could you explain this "engineering tool?" Is this something the dealer could do upon request? I'm only aware of FDRS and IDS being dealer softwares.

    Add Police Engine Idle?

    What else would be required to add the functionality? Is FORScan not capable of doing it and I'll need FDRS to do so?

    2025 Explorer First Look by Kris G and Russell D

    I would love to see it be posted and be on the homepage when revealed for those fanboys like me! What about Explorer for the Chinese market? They're very different in China than the US. Never knew they did that. I was wondering about Timberline and mostly Police Interceptor Utility.

    2025 Explorer First Look by Kris G and Russell D

    I do like the wider screen, gonna have to get used to no real knobs. I'm not a fan of the grille being bigger and less proportionate with the headlights. Almost looks like the 2011-2015 Explorers with the upgraded headlights. Along with 2025 Explorer, has the 2025 Police Interceptor Utility been...

    2014 PIU Exhaust Issue.

    You could. Just make sure your state doesn't do emissions, it will never pass the inspection. Not sure if commerical are exempt or not.

    2014 PIU Exhaust Issue.

    It shouldn't be any issues if you're using the same diameter pipe. I'm not an exhaust tech so to me, I'd just make sure to match the pipe diameter when doing the exhaust. Or just straight pipe it and cut the cats too! No restrictions 😂

    Need seat wiring diagrams

    You'll need to find a way to hook it up to the vehicles power. It won't be a plug and play solution for the seats. If they just need power, I do recommend using the 6 pin or 14 pin upfit connectors. Be sure you have original seats in case an airbag warning comes up on the dash.

    How to: Column shift to console/ floor shift conversion

    2020 FPIU has an actual linkage connected to the shifter and the civilian one has a motor. It would not be possible most likely. If so, it'll be very hard to accomplish. The civilian console does not fit into the dash either on those vehicles in my experience.

    2015 explorer shows low battery Features Temporarily Turned off

    If you do, buy one from the dealer. There is people having issues with aftermarket ones. Do not get a rebuilt one either if all possible.

    2015 explorer shows low battery Features Temporarily Turned off

    Replace battery. It's probably on its last leg since you said it's 3.5 years old. Be sure to reset the battery monitoring system after replacing the battery.

    How to: Column shift to console/ floor shift conversion

    I was always curious on how this could be done. Personally, I prefer column shifters. Makes it feel "manly" like a truck. Also makes it super easy to slam into park and get out in a hurry. Same with getting back in and shifting to drive in a hurry (assuming engine is already running). Generally...

    Add Police Engine Idle?

    Yeah I saw that too, I'm not sure if it'll be different or not.

    Add Police Engine Idle?

    Buddy of mine got a 2020 Police Interceptor Utility, it does not have the secure Police Engine Idle button. Could I replace it with a new headlight switch that has that button and enable it in FORScan? Or is there more to it?

    Ford PI Explorer FPIU Help NYC Area

    Welcome to the forums. I recommend you just getting an ELM adapter and the extended license yourself. It is super easy to use FORScan and you're only about $40 in doing it yourself. You can use the spreadsheet to guide yourself on your needs. Be sure to backup AS BUILT. I've attached the...

    Civilian Console Installation

    One of my friends had recently gotten they're hands on a 2020 Police Interceptor Utility. Looks real nice in black. He also had gotten a civilian console from assuming a junkyard. We've tried to install it and we couldn't. Has anyone been able to get it installed correctly to the dashboard...

    Check Engine Light (P04F0)

    Generally a "performance" code such as P04F0 "EVAP System High Pressure Purge Line Performance has been detected.", generally means the high pressure purge line has failed.

    2016 PIU brake lights stuck on

    There's likely an electrical issue from the police upfitting and decommissioning of the vehicle. You can also check the upfitter harnesses behind the two cigarette lighters. Those usually have a wig wag wire and some others. They might control the brake light flashers.

    Aftermarket Remote Start long range remotes wiring

    So I bought a remote start kit with their long range remotes. I must connect the lock/unlock wires to the Body Control Module. Where is the BCM located and which connector would be the power lock and unlock wires to tap into? There are several different connectors. Can't seem to find any wiring...
