Anyone have a copy of the 11+ Explorer Forscan spreadsheet? I always just kept it bookmarked but it looks like the original host (PlatinumOwner) has taken it down or the link expired. I tried sending him a message without any response. Thanks!

Rich, please see attachment below. One above I seem to have issues viewing, if you are having issues, I attached a PDF.

Why do some things appear twice?

Is there a list with better descriptions of these functions & features somewhere? Like all the specifics of "Dark Car" and "Silent Mode".

Are there any consequences to enabling something that my vehicle isn't equipped for? For example: if I screw with the massage seat settings in my PIU, will it have any effect? Or double honk for getting out while the engine is running - does that setting have any effect in a vehicle with a mechanical key? What about fog light settings (before I add fog lights & wiring for them), or remote start (before I add the perimeter alarm module)? IOW: does it hurt to adjust settings now for future mods that may not happen for years?

Are any additional mods/wiring/hardware required for things like AWD gauge, compass display, volt meter, global windows... in '16-19s which have no notes after those options?

Thanks

You obviously shouldn't enable stuff your car doesn't have. However there is stuff like the AWD indicator that can be enabled. For silent mode, that is enabled/disabled in your cluster. I wouldn't use the perimeter alarm if you use your key with the hatch all the time, the alarm will go off every time you open the rear gate.

Stuff can break if you touch the wrong stuff, if so, you will need to restore the factory AS BUILT data and start from scratch with your mods.

Why not? What are the consequences (of the seat massage, for example)?

Great. Which stuff, specifically?

...and what about the repeated entry? Is there any significance, or just an oversight in compiling the spreadsheet?
 






I am trying to find the code to enable the bambi function (Fog lights with High Beam).

I did it on my Mustang but tired several on the Explorer but didn't function.

Does anybody have there's working on the Explorer 2011 Limited?

Thanks in advance.

Usually nothing will happen, however you may see DTCs for missing parts from enabling things your doesn't have. I've broken the DTE calculation a couple times as well.

You can disable the rear hatch lock (the button on top of the console) so it'll unlock with the unlock button, rather than having to use the key or pressing the button inside the car to unlock it. I'm not sure on specifics, the spreadsheet will tell you in the Police Interceptor part.

As for the duplicate entries, I don't know. Not my spreadsheet.

Sadly no... I wrote you on the other you created. No luck here. Seems that our year modules don't have the option from factory like the other years.

Flashing dome lights the whole time the car is in the on/run position till you as built data flash it back. Same can happen if you use the wrong cord to Forscan with.
