Hi all!

I have some questions related to changes that can be done on the new MK4.5 with FORScan. Let's start with simple, common and basic one 🙂

In the latest version of FORScan with full license in the BdyCM module the setting named "Automatic doors lock" has been removed.

This is definitely present in the MK 3.5.

Does anyone know how could you activate the automatic doors locking when going over 10/15 Km/h?

Hi

I've done this on my Focus ST 4.5. Go into BdyCM and search for Auto. You should then see 'Auto Door Lock'. This will need to turned on in two places within that list. (I would just search for Auto within BdyCM in case the wording is slightly different)

Cheers

Luke

Engineering mode?

The word door was nowhere to be found.

But there are about 5 or 6 "Auto Lock"(and with number at the end). I tried to enable the first but to no avail.

I will have to take some pictures.

So, on MK 4.5 with Forscan V2.3.49 first shock there is no more "Engineering mode".

Once you connect to a module you only have Edit and Write buttons.

In the BdyCM module there is no mention of the work door (you have a search box).

What I tried to change was Auto Lock - Initial value - didn't work

What eventually worked is "Auto Lock - Vehicle". This locks the doors once you go over 15Km/h.

Now what is not clear to me is relate to Software Engine sound enhancement / Engine sound enhancement.

You can disable the hardware one separately or both.

What you can't do is just disable the software one and leave the hardware one enabled (it gives programing error).

 

But anyway, I haven't heard once the pops and bangs from the tailpipes with them both enabled and in Sport mode...

So is this working only when the engine is really hot?

Or maybe it's not present if you don't get the Performance pack?

Pops and bangs only really happen on Manual ST models. Its one of many reasons I opted for a manual over an Auto.

Glad you got it working though.

Also very common on the standard 1.0 Ecoboost engine, normally ends with a boom 🤣

Has anyone used Forscan to program new rim size?

I will sell the 19" ST rims and get 18" 235/40 R18.

This has a real circumference that is a bit smaller. This will translate in real speed being lower than what is shown on the dash.

Many say to edit the "Tire circumference" in mm. But that is not real number, it's something like X*0.96... on older models

On mine on the MK 4.5 it's even weirder, it says "46485" which is obviously not in mm 😐

On US models Forscan read a setting called "Tire size" that has a beautiful drop down with real values to choose from. But mine does not have this.

So how can we program the 18" rim on a ST MK 4.5?

Hi there Sebastian,

I know this is an old thread but I am wondering if you managed to sort this out? I am at the cusp of ordering a manual ST, but I dont think I would like this popping and banging feature so I started to look whether it is possible to switch it on and off. I know the fake sound exhaust can be switched off and I suppose software ESE refers to that...so this got me thinking, maybe the 'simple' (i.e non-software) ESE refers to the pops and bangs?

For sure this is a mapping feature so it should be possible to manipulate it/disable it in some software, question is FORscan is suitable for that or not.  In any case, I am just curious as to what the non-software ESE is about.

By the way, what was the outcome of your clutch issues you mentioned in another thread? Did it get resolved eventually somehow? 

 

 

The only thing you can turn off, with FORScan, is the audio fake engine sound enhancement (which I believe was Diesel ST)

Pops and bangs are in the MAP, which would need mapping out

hi Dave, 

Thanks for the response. Yeah this was my gues ***** well, but i am really no expert here so I though it is worth to ask. Still, I wonder what is the difference between 'software engine sound enhancement' VS 'engine sound enhancement'? I have seen a german video about this recently, how to turn it off. Guy used the 'software' option to turn off the fake engine sound, which kind of makes sense. So then you have to wonder what the other option does in the first place?

You can see this from here.

For me the setting that I was able to apply actually has proven to be exactly what I was searching for.

So just turn off both Software Engine sound enhancement / Engine sound enhancement and you will get, depending on mode:

- Slippery/Normal: No fake sound from the speakers and no hardware pops or bangs.

- Sport: No fake sound from the speakers but, you DO get the normal pops and bangs once the engine is really hot and you go over 5500rpm.

Just perfect for me.

Perfect, thanks for looking back to this topic and answering my question 🙂 Appreciated!

Coming back to this old thread for the second time, maybe with same luck (fingers crossed)...

 

Did you manage to figure out this one too, Sebastian?

Aint worth messing with tire sizes if your going from 235 40 18 - 235 35 19 its works out to about 0.1 of a mph differnce 

See photo attached

Has anyone tried the remote start feature in Forscan? I'm a bit concerned as I have a manual but it would be amazing in the winter, if it can fail to start if it is in gear. My Jaguar XF had this via the app. but was auto so no worry about it driving off!!
