Amber DRL worked for my 2026.
Same for me - no problems on my 26. I've done Bambi mode, Amber DRLs, turned off FENG, and enabled approach lighting.

The spreadsheet should be updated to note that disable FENG is now just an easy code change: (thanks to @EdmontonST for finding)

Very easy to do. Do the following after it's installed:

Step 1: Enabled "Keypad" in BdyCM which enables the hardware itself (use Keypad in search bar in BdyCM module in easy mode, not asbuilt)

Step 2: Enabled "Keypad" in APIM successfully, enables the option in your infotainment screen.

Step 3: Perform the BdyCM Local Interconnect Network New Module Calibration (will be in the wrench icon on the left bar in FORScan).
Sorry Nightshade, as Genericjeff said in post #13, that does not work for a 2025 model. There must be another setting somewhere else that needs to be changed. FDRS has a routine for doing this in the "toolbox" section, and that's what the dealers use to activate the keypad. For some reason, your steps above do not work. Something is missing that gets changed by FDRS. I got the same results as Genericjeff---I get 2 or 3 presses of numbers and then the keypad goes dark. FDRS must do something additional besides your 3 steps above.

Just tried Forscan for the first time ... 2026 ST

Bambi mode: Success
Approach Lights: Success
Disable Double Honk: Success

Setting the DRL to amber: FAIL - im pretty sure I have the settings correct (see screenshot). And I believe they are only supposed to work when not in Park so I turned the car on, put in N w parking brake on -- nothing. Put in drive and can see the light on the garage wall, nothing.

EDIT - redid everything plus realized the other thread about 2 more settings and I might have it ... just want to confirm:

Out in the sun in park, lights are off. Put it in Drive and the Amber DRLs in the headlights turn on (I think the tails as well - please confirm). Once I cover the sensor and the lows come on, the DRLs turn to white.

Also for the Global Close - why can I not findn PDM and DDM??

If you are in your garage, put a flashlight to the dash light sensor. Otherwise, just check it when you are outside.

Can the Forscan sheet be used on a 2026 Tremor?

I would like to do the Amber DRL, Anything in settings have to be turned off auto lamps, auto high beam etc?
