Side mirror tilt in reverse is another great one. I have a 22 so i was able to enable kick to open tailgate. Beosonic is a nice upgrade too. Unfortunately the GT power meter no longer functions in non-GTs.

Wait...what? You can enable kick to open liftgate??? What year/model did you do this on? I have a 2024 Premium AWD ER and would love to have that feature. Is the sensor still there on my vehicle, just disabled?
Mine is a 2022 Select, Std. Range, RWD. It had the hardware but was inactivated in software.

I wonder if they still use the same wiring harness/pigtail/connector but just removed the sensor? If so, it would be possible to retro-fit the sensor. But then, what software mods would be needed? Can you tell I really want that feature?
I'm not sure if the module is available from Ford. I and others used Forscan with a Vlinker ODB cable to do the programming.

My questions would then be, has the operating module for kick-to-open been removed, or maybe was it part of another multi-purpose module? If a single-purpose module, where does it live in the car...somewhere tucked up under the dash in an inaccessible location? And what about wiring? How extensive a job would it be? And finally, how can we find out?
You’re not missing much. It was pretty finicky. I think that module was programmed to see when your hands were actually full. Then it didn’t work. It just laughed at you.

So true. I had a 50lbs battery in my hand and it decided not to work. ?

Mine still works, was there an update that breaks it?

My June 2023 MME GT PE has the boot kick to open feature so Ford are still installing it in some MME's beyond 2023. This is the New Zealand spec car, made in Mexico. Cheers Murray

Yeah. Maybe eight months or so ago, an update came out that broke it for a bunch of people. It still showed, but it just had a bunch of jail bars on the acceleration side of the meter.

Im thinking of getting the forscan equipment myself, I have a ‘21 and updates have been lacking Lately. Looking at adding the beosonic options, the outside temp to the small dash, possible adding the power bar since i have a non GT, the snowflake icon for possible ice on roads. There are a few forscan posts on this forum with how to’s and videos on youtube.

Does anyone know of a list of cool things to modify on the Mach e using Forscan? I recently completed the mod to enable the foot activated hatch opening and it works great. Wondering what else I can play with.
Weird. My 2021 just does that. I haven't modded anything. I don't even know how.

You can if you buy the module.
https://ev-vida.store/products/mustang-mach-e-handsfree-liftgate-module
EDIT: I just realized the module from EV-Vida requires major surgery. I assumed it was plug and play.
I don't want to derail this thread but I want to make a comment about this. I purchased the EV-Vida unit, and you're correct - it is a major pain IF you do it the way they show in the video. My personal opinion is that they made it much harder than necessary by wiring it into the liftgate and cutting the wires and drilling that big hole. All of that can be avoided if you simply run the wires in the channel along the door sills directly up front to brown liftgate wire at the fuse panel and get power there as well. This requires lengthening 3 wires on the unit, and removing some of the plastic mouldings but is much easier and less invasive. Honestly that video doesn't explain it very well and looked as if that guy never wired anything in his life.

They had it on the early models, then disabled it on 2022's and then stopped putting the module in on later builds. Mine was supposed to have it and was on the order when I placed it. Huge disappointment. My wife is thrilled that I re-enabled it with the software.

As far as I know, all 2022's had the hardware, so just needed the Forscan mod to enable it.
