Found one more thing using the easy mode Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) configuration, it will change the Low Fuel warning message. It is called "DTE Level Configuration", there are two settings:

 

Distance Based algorithm, this will show the distance to empty km/miles with the low fuel warning, and (still not confirmed  by testing edit June 12: confirmed) will show fuel warning based on the distance to empty (in my older Ford/Lincoln it used to be at exactly 80 km to  empty).

Edit June 12: Low Fuel warning will now come at 80km, 60km, 40km, 20km then turns red at 0.

 

or

 

Fuel Level (Volume) Based algorithm, this will NOT show the distance to empty km/miles with the low fuel warning and the low fuel warning comes at random distances to empty, usually at very low km. This was the stock in my 2016 Edge.

Enabled the Seatbelt monitor feature of the MKX Cluster.

720-02-02    xx**    xxzz

change ** to 84 or 85 or 86 or 87, they all worked. I didn't find any difference, but from what I think 84 is closest to the MKX value while 87 is closest to the Euro Edge. 

 

But, it only works for the front seats & rear outboard seats, meaning the rear middle seatbelt is not monitored. Also, my Edge has the inflatable rear seatbelts, so not sure if this would work on non-inflatable seatbelt equipped Edge/MKX.

 

What this does, upon startup a small seatbelt grey icon with the number of fastened seatbelts appears. The same icon appears for 3-4 seconds whenever a monitored seatbelt is buckled and shows the current total number of buckled seatbelts. Whenever a rear outboard seatbelt is unbuckled a warning message appears. Also a menu for seatbelts appears under vehicle settings that shows the current status.

 

Seatbelt counter icon:

Seatbelt warning when a rear outboard seatbelt is unbuckled:

I did not try this as my Edge does not have Auto Start/Stop, but for those wanting to disable Auto Start/Stop,an alternate way was posted on the F-150 Forums that does not involve disabling the BMS. May will also work on the Edge.

730-01-02 xxxx xxxx x*xx Start/Stop change * to: 0=disabled, 1=enabled

 

This is the Post from the F-150 forums.

Figured out 2 more mods on the MKX Cluster:

 

Change the Brake light icon:

720-06-02 xxXx xxxx 

Changed X to 0 will show "BRAKE" as the light, 8 will make a brake icon. You can see the different brake light in the below images compared to the images in my previous posts above.

 

Add "Drive Control" selector in vehicle settings. This will also remove the adaptive steering selection from the driver assist menu. Yes, the Edge does not have "Adaptive dampers", so this will only affect the "Adaptive Steering", but the benefit comes in the cluster showing "Sport mode" with red semi circles when "Sport" mode is selected. Also if Comfort mode was selected, blue semi circles will come up. 

720-07-01 xxXx xxxx xxxx

Changed X to 4 enables "Drive Control". "0" disables it.

Could I ask for the successful instructions or directions to them to add mirror tilt in reverse on a 2013 Edge Limited?  Would it be a correct assumption that what is listed in post 4, works? and that you merely enable all of the below?  Thanks  Ed

261 720-02-01 (2013+ MY) xxxx Xxxx xxxx

Note: Press Mirror Left or Right Switch before shifting into reverse

(IPC) 3 (Disabled - Default) 7 (Enabled) Add Hex 4 to Existing Value: 3+4=7

740-03-01 (2013+ MY) Xxxx xx

(DDM) 6 (Disabled - Default) 7 (Enabled)

740-13-01 (2013+ MY) XXxx

(DDM) 00 (Disabled - Default) FC (Enabled)

Mirror tilt in reverse only works on the gen2 Edge (2015+). It cannot be added to prior model years.

So I didn't get to go through the whole thread but I might be able to answer some questions and help out with the Forscan mods on the Edge. I got 2016 Sport 400A package. So far I did the following:

Disable DRLs (for HIDs to work)

Reverse mirror tilt

Global window close (Open was enabled from factory)

Disabled hyperflash (for my front LED turn signals)

Disabled front lamp outage (for HIDs to work)

Enabled secure idle (lock the shifter when fob is not in car while car is running)

Disabled double horn honk

Enabled heated SW and seats buttons on home screen on Sync

Enabled climate section on right cluster screen

Added fuel history display

Added hill start assist (haven't tested it yet)

 

Now here is my to do list that I am trying to figure out. If anyone has any ideas please let me know:

- Disable stability control (AdvanceTrac) for some fun in the snow

- Enable Auto hold (for the car to auto hold the brakes on a long traffic light)

- Disable "Language Set To English" prompt on every start when I enable the View Text Msgs/Nav Keyboard while in motion

 

If anyone wants the codes for the mods i've done, let me know.

 

Could you let me know Reverse mirror tilt code please.

(IPC) 3 (Disabled - Default)    
 
  7 (Enabled)
Add Hex 4 to Existing Value: 3+4=7
 
 
       
 
740-03-01 (2013+ MY) Xxxx xx    
 
(DDM) 6 (Disabled - Default)    
 
  7 (Enabled)    
 
       
 
740-13-01 (2013+ MY) XXxx    
 
(DDM) 00 (Disabled - Default)    
 
  FC (Enabled)

741-13-01 (2013+ MY) XXxx    
 
(PDM) 00 (Disabled - Default)    
 
  FC (Enabled)  

 

Select left/right mirror, put vehicle in Reverse and mirror will automatically tilt down toward curb and then return to normal position when gear is changed or mirror switch is unselected.

 

Reverse Tilt Mirror Calibration:
1) Switch the ignition on
2) Press the memory button
3) Select the mirror you want to adjust
4) Put your vehicle into reverse (R) and let the mirror automatically tilt until it stops
5) When the mirror is in its tilted position and is no longer moving, adjust it with the controls
6) Hold the memory button for 5 seconds to save the setting
7) Press the mirror button and return to park (P)
? Hold memory button again

 

Although there is no specific list/sheet for the For Edge, you can generally follow the same codes as other Ford vehicles. For the 2015+ Edge, you can follow the 2015-2020 F-150, 2013+ Fusion (2nd Gen) or 2016-2019 Explorer.

Just as @Wesow stated above, it is better to add you Edge model/year to you signature. I assume you have a European Edge as from you screenshot it shows to be a diesel model. The default value is different (not 7) because you also have folding mirrors. So you have 720-02-01 as FBA4  AC78 1E08 and you'll need to change the A to E (A+4 = E). The line then becomes FBA4  EC78 1E08. When writing the value you will get a "checksum" error, just ignore it, then the last two digit (08) will change to the correct checksum value.

Unfortunately  It did not work, I still have issue with two line(DDM) 740-03-1 and (PDM) 741-03-1 reading F while while instruction in table above said to change 6 to 7.

You stock "F" setting should work. Do not change it. Did you try the "Reverse Tilt Mirror Calibration" process? Did the option show up in the cluster under vehicle settings and it is enabled? Nothing else comes to my mind now.

The fob for my 2017 Edge Sport drops the front windows only.

My does the same. I'd like to be able to lower all windows (as I did in my prev vehicle) as well as raise them all from the fob.

Is this mod available via Forscan?

 

Other mods I'm interested in - can Forscan do these:

- Lower mirror(s) on reverse

- DRLs on 

- Default initial audio volume - avoid blasting if volume was left high

- Cyclops brake light flas on/off when braking

- Interior footwell accent lights intensity Control

- Allow sunroof to open without opening the sunshield the whole way back.

- Turn on rear windshield wiper on reverse if fronts are on 

I'll be installing a hitch - anything that needs to be done so the vehicle know's it's towing? My ther had that.

 

Just a few that I can think of from my prev mods on another vehicle.

 

Thanks!

 

I'd like to know before I buy the sw and connector.

This link is outdated and does not pull up.

Is there a model number to loom for? Also, are these ODB connectors specific to the model and or year? 

I'd be OK with hardwired rather than BT or wifi.

Hello all...

I'm familiar withe BCM changes using the VW group VagCom (Ross Tech) interface. Many options, some now I'd like to see if I can change similar option in my Edge.

 

Are there Forscan settings for these:

> Set default audio volume when ignition turned on (via ignition or audio sys on)

> Always display gears on dash by the tach (or anywhere). Had this in VW, shows the transmission gears as they change, not just when using paddles.

> Flash center brake light when braking - attention getter

> Close windows with remote (already opens front).

> Open/close all windows not just front.

> Sunroof - open shade only half way (to the bar or so) and be able to open sunroof. 

> Control footwell accent light intensity >> Solved, use color picker squares to control intensity - slide up/down

 

These to start, thanks.
