The only one I have any interest in is disabling the lowbeam drls.

If the intent is to use the Signature Lights as DRL, then I don't believe they are bright enough. The LED low beams would be brighter even given that they run at reduced power when acting as DRL.

Do you happen to have a Canadian explorer?

Unsure, it was purchase from Vroom and previously titled in Arizona. How to tell if so?

Check Forscan and see what parameters are at 726-16-02 and 726-21-01.

Look at the VIN sticker in the door jamb. If its a Canadian vehicle it will have a maple leaf printed on it with Canada written on it.

No Maple Leaf on my DS door jamb Vin and passenger occupancy and weight sticker! So...

I did accomplish what I wanted to do, by using the easy mode and changing a few parameters of the DRL's in Forscan. Thankfully without the need to change or mess with As Built Data!

Here's the Settings I had to change, and also Enable. Which then highlighted Daytime Lights in the left IPC and allowed me to Check/Uncheck it to disable my LowBeams while driving in the daytime and only use the Halo's!

While shining my bright led flashlight and having the EX in D, the lowbeams went off as desired. Same when I pulled it out into the driveway.

Finally, glad to have this done and figured out, as well as having the Temp Display in the Right IPC as well...

Glad you were able to get it to work. Looks like your turn signal run lights are now disabled though?

Also what was your lamp circuit usage set at before you changed it to DRL only?

Turn signals only came on with Halos during Remote Start function. Turn signals weren't always active previously while driving in the daylight, only my Halo & LowBeams.

I believe #2 Fixed DRL and Position. Could of been #1 I don't really recall, I did do a save prior to any changes though.

Really? Interesting.

Did you also enable park lamps with DRL? Because that should turn on your front side marker lights and your tail lights I believe.

No, I only wanted Halos during daytime. As sun goes down, everything else comes on as intended in Auto.

I also noticed in Forscan there's 2 setting for Child Locks. Both were set to Disabled, anyone know if Enabling this does anything? Add it to the 8" touchscreen? Or what...

I know there's already built in Child Safety Locks on the rear doors....

Thanks.

.............................................................

I doubt that enabling the feature would add it to the touchscreen since the locks are mechanical. Although I can't be sure, I don't believe they are wired for electronic activation.

Very interesting. Does performing these steps make the Halos bright enough to be effective DRL's? I know they are normally not bright enough to be used in that way.

Works for me.

Changed a few things on the IPC v2. I added climate to the options on the right and the outside temp. Here's a pic.

Yes, abut 75% as bright as most new vehicles with led DRL's.

how did you do this

I enabled the option for Temp in IPC(Instrument Panel Cluster) via Forscan in the IPC settings.

Should be there, I haven't messed with Forscan since January when I made the changes I wanted.
