2017 FPIU
I just got a 2017 FPIU, and have been glancing through here, which has added to my list of stupid questions.
It used to belong to the San Bernardino County (CA) Sheriff's Office, if that helps anyone pin it down.
It's in rode-hard-put-away-wet condition (a few minor dings and the liftback has a couple of big ones). The center console and related hardware are gone. I suspect that the AUX audio and USB ports were moved to a panel on the console, because they are hanging loose.
1) First question: There are also two plugs, also loose, where the lower dashboard (PIU style) had been. One 13 pins (blades) and the other 6 blades. Can someone tell me what these are for?
2) Related question, can I get a wiring diagram somewhere, covering the PIU?
3) Related-related question: Is there an upfitter's guide available?
4) I see references to Forscan, looked at their page, is there a particular USB/OBDII dongle to get/avoid, or will any of them work?
5) I have a little module marked hu5t-14g490-af, that says to replace if it's been dropped. What the heck is this thing?
6) Having paired my radio with phone and tablet, when I try to play an audio from an MP4 file or from YouTube, the track info comes up in the display, but there is no audio. Any idea why?
7) The one key that I got has no fob (or transponder). Is keyless entry an option, or am I likely to just need an appropriate fob?
8) I got an error message that said the (capless) fuel filler wasn't sealed. HUH?
9) There is no switch for the police idle, can I get it just by adding a switch, or do I just not have it?
10) Is there a common place for an undercover-type siren speaker to be mounted?
11) Are the hubcaps specific to the PIU, or will caps from the Crown Vic or Taurus work?
I guess this is enough for right now, thanks for any help you can give.
