Hello, I am currently looking for the FORscan spreadsheet, also known as the AS-built options, for 2011 and newer Mustangs. I found links related to the 2011-2014 F150s and S550, but it seems there aren't any postings regarding S197 programmable codes. I am trying to disable the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) on my 2011 5.0 Mustang. I have already disabled them on my 2006 GT, but there doesn't seem to be any discussion on the programmable codes for the 2011 models.

Unfortunately I haven’t, I tried some guess work with cross referencing the f150 codes in the same year but had no success.

I am sharing this file that I have been compiling since I messaged you last night.

It's work in progress, but hopefully people here will share their information, and we can put together something final and comprehensive.

Edit to add:
My plan is not just to catalog a bunch of setting that people can pull and drop into their cars, although I won't stop you from doing that, but it is actually to do cataloging and explaining what those things are.

The hard part is obviously using used cars for sale to determine what general features a car has or doesn't have that affects the as-built data. I have listed those which I think have an impact at the top of the spreadsheet and literally just used the images of the cars for sale to make that determination. Obviously, I suffer from situations where used cars have been upgraded after being sold since the as-built won't match the options anymore. But for the most part, people tend to NOT upgrade their cars with OEM parts (or do so very infrequently) for me to be worried about how it will impact my data.

The first car in the sheet is my car which I used as a baseline for the dataset to compare against.

WHat you will notice is that the last 2 digits of every data point is moved to the final column, this is because every single final 2 digits represent the checksum of the row. Basically there is a calculation that takes the address (726-01-01) and the data points (0C00, 0000, 01) and does fancy math to them to spit out the final numbers. Essentially this is to make sure you are not putting in something into the car that wholly makes no sense. So if you see one data point that is only 0C38, that means that the actual data is only 0C and the 38 is the checksum to make sure the data is correct. You can practice in the checksum tab. That actually massively cuts down the number of inputs that are needed to be analyzed for differences.

Now over 140 Cars. I am starting to make headway. Would you believe the presence of the Glass Roof affects AS-Built Data!?

It's been a while since I added an update.

I have successfully decompiled the follow:
PCSM - Power Steering Control Module
ABS - Antilock Brake System
APIM - Accessory Protocol Interface Module (Sync)
FDIM - Front Display Interface Module
PCM - PowerTrain Control Module

Partially Decompiled
RCM - Restraint Control Module
ICM - Instrument Cluster Module
BCMB - Body Control Module B
ACM - Audio Control Module (Successfully decompiled how presets are managed in both Navigation and non-Navigation Vehicles)

Still Need work:
GPSM - Global Positioning System Module
GEM - General Electronics Module (basically the BCM)

What you got on the EPAS/PSCM? What all can be changed?

2011 was the first year that the mustang started using electronic power assisted steering as opposed to 2010 and earlier which used a hydraulic power assist.

Thus 2011 is the first year that the PSCM played a major part in the cars programming.
All 2011 mustangs had a value of 02 in the as built data.
From 2012-2014, all mustangs regardless of trim, had 01 which I attribute to slight calibrations in the programming and design of the power steering.

I would not recommend making adjustments to the programming as even the GT500s and Boss 302s maintain the same programming.

I have a few testers on board but would like to expand my reach.

I have added a tab called "Bounties" which I am putting out there to anyone with that Target Vehicle who has/is familiar with Forscan. I am looking for testers who would be willing to test out this as built data and provide back feedback on the bounties.

We have solidly identified:
Rear View Camera in Navigation Activation
Parking Assist Activation in the Gauge Cluster
Activating or Deactivating Sequential Tail Lights
Overriding the Door Sill to GT500 Red
Modifying the Language of the Cluster
Controlling the Passengers/Drivers Beltminders

I have also added a section under Tools which contains the ability to custom build your radio stations and load them via As-Built. both for Nav and Non-Nav.
Also, the ability to take your as built and explode it out into the radio stations.
