    Hands-Free Foot activated Lift Gate

    Never in my experience if they want to stay employed. Ford Engineering has it figured out, how do you think they disabled it? ;)

    Sync 10" to 8" Screen (Downgrade) Upgrade

    No, changing the below underlined value in Forscan tells the APIM to use the 8" screen. 7D0-03-01 xxxx 00xx xx--

    Hands-Free Foot activated Lift Gate

    I can almost guarantee that no matter what they do, the won't get it working even with the correct hardware installed. The programming is pulled from ford servers. Since the '23's came without it, they changed the as-built data on the server for the BCM to disable it. They can program it 100...

    Hands-Free Foot activated Lift Gate

    Lucky for you, someone already got this figured out. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/how-to-adding-hands-free-liftgate-late-22-and-23-explorer.5291/

    Interceptor amber DRL's on Explorer St

    Yes, just leave the XX alone. Checksum is just a way to validate data to ensure it's correct. In this case we know we're entering the wrong data, to provide the result that we want, so we just ignore it.

    Sync 10" to 8" Screen (Downgrade) Upgrade

    Highly unlikely. Sync 4 12" screen needs a specific Sync 4 APIM to operate with it. There's extra power wires on the display. I have a sync 4 unit from a F150 that had the 12" display and i couldn't get it to turn on the 8" screen. You can get a Sync 4 APIM that was paired with an 8" screen to...

    Install Rear Camera Washer

    It works in any gear. It takes a loooong time to prime the system. After that, it shouldn't take quite as long because there's several check valves in the line to keep the fluid primed.

    Wireless Android Auto/Carplay Using Entire Vertical Infotainment Screen?

    The magic box or ottocast is only going to use the same space that android auto/carplay will use, so it'll be tiny. That's why I swapped my 10" screen to the 8" screen. At least there's better utilization of the whole thing.

    Tune warranty - spare ecu

    They will know that the PCM has been flashed just by the key cycles, but they can't say with authority that it was a non-stock tune unless that non-stock tune was still there. They would have to analyze the damage to the engine, transmission or whatever other component failed and decide that it...

    Tune warranty - spare ecu

    The VIN would be the first problem, the other is the security. There's a pairing process between the ECU (PCM) and the BCM, without FDRS, and likely a NASTF account, you couldn't just simply swap the PCM. The ignition count is only reset with tune loads and normal FDRS calibration...

    How does everyone wash and dry the roof?

    Front door sills and standing on back tires. :LOL:

    Interceptor amber DRL's on Explorer St

    They are two different strips of LEDs. The white has two levels, light and dim. The Amber is only one level. A few people including myself have tried to have the amber come on as parking lights and DRLs, but then you lose the turn signal functionality.

    Sync 10" to 8" Screen (Downgrade) Upgrade

    I don't have them to test, but there should be no reason it wouldn't retain it. It just changes the buttons to a different size/location.

    Sync 10" to 8" Screen (Downgrade) Upgrade

    It's the same. That issue boils down to the underpowered processor of the sync 3 module, not the screen.

    Sync 10" to 8" Screen (Downgrade) Upgrade

    That's a good assessment. I think the only thing that utilizes the full capacity of the 10" screen is the built-in maps and the settings menus. That's not a loss to me because I always use carplay, and i don't spend that much time changing settings for it to be a problem.

    Sync 10" to 8" Screen (Downgrade) Upgrade

    I didn't know there was an LED under there.
