Forscan *working* mods?

[bc3tech]

Do we have a spreadsheet/thread anywhere that shows what mods/options ppl have tweaked w/ FORSCAN that actually work on the MachE? For example, I went thru mine and was disappointed to see that after enabling Reverse Mirror Tilt it didn't work (something I really wish they'd have implemented!) so looking to avoid a bunch of trial & error

Thanks!

Thanks, I did see that thread but the spreadsheet looked like it was more for documenting the As-Built blocks all-up instead of which pieces folks found actually worked. Am I misunderstanding?

To boot, the latest Forscan has all of the documentation built into it so you don't have to edit blocks directly anymore, in my experience.

A lot of people here have successfully enabled reverse mirror tilt, so that one should work. Enabling it in FORScan adds the toggle in the settings but it's off by default. Did you go toggle it on?

A lot of people have also added the GT's power meter on the IPC ("dash") to their non-GTs.

Others I have personally done and can confirm work:

• disable startup seatbelt reminder (the chimes that play unless you click seatbelt before turning vehicle on)
• disable chiming if you open door while vehicle is on
• disable honk if you walk away with key (i.e. phone) while vehicle is on

These seem to be the most common.

yes; I think the piece I was missing was that I have to also choose the mirror to tilt when in Reverse. This is different than our 2018 Traverse's behavior.

Thanks for those others, though! Do you think it'd be useful to, perhaps, add a sheet to the existing FORSCAN file w/ this kind of a list? Seems useful to me but am just a n00b right now

If you skim through the thread that was linked a lot of those will be directly discussed. I'd skim that first before digging through the whole spreadsheet.

I found the spreadsheet difficult to use. I also recommend just skimming threads.

I've enabled GT power meter, kick to open tailgate (only works for MY 22), reverse mirror tilt, and disabled horn honk on walk away. You can disable seatbelt chime without Forscan - there's a process in the manual that's easily findable on YouTube.

Here's what I did today. Some I've seen new options/changes pop up, others I haven't

APIM

BCM

IPC

In addition to the enhancements that @Chainspell mentioned above, I also used Forscan to enable AM radio on my 23. There was an OTA that supposedly did that, but I never got it (or it never worked for me).

Wow these were previously disabled?

Can you expand on which ones actually did anything and what that was? Some seem interesting, like rear camera auto zoom, auto air refresh, sentinel, comfort pet

What is Cluster View under the APIM?

I used Forscan to disable the backup dump truck beeping and the pedestrian alert sounds at low speeds.

You can also add the GT power meter into the cluster screen for non GT models, but the "jail bars" dont show properly on it.

I also swapped the compass on the cluster for a temperature reading (so I dont have to look at middle screen).

I also used Forscan to enable "kick to open" trunk on my 2022. It had the module installed but it was not active from the factory. This isn't possible for 2023 or 2024 models though.

Can you point me to the values needed for this?

Been a while, but this seems to be the trick: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...splay-on-ipc-dash-cluster-with-forscan.16731/
