FORSCAN ? for 2025

[Batson35]

I was able to eliminate the chime...thats Childs play...can the pop up screen showing the red X be eliminated?

Yes please I am tired of hitting "OK" to get rid of the seat belts screen. I am using the 2025 IPC in my 2021 Wildtrack.

Subbed for this! Would LOVE to get rid of the chime for seat belts...is that the one you're talking about?

There is a process for getting rid of the seatbelt reminder tones that worked for me, on Page 59 of the owner's manual:

Close all vehicle doors. • Unfasten the driver and front passenger seatbelts.

1. Switch the ignition to RUN.
2. Wait a short period of time until the seatbelt warning tone switches off.

After Step 2, you must complete Step 3 within 30 seconds after you start your
vehicle.

3. For the seating position you are switching off, fasten then unfasten the
seatbelt four times at a moderate speed, ending in the unfastened state. After
each unfasten, the seatbelt warning light switches on and off with each fasten.


4. The seatbelt warning light flashes for confirmation.

This switches the feature off for that seating position if it is currently on.
This switches the feature on for that seating position if it is currently off.
CHECKING THE SEATBELT


EDIT: in step #2 the "Wait a short period of time until..." (that's really helpful!?) I don't remember how long I waited, but it was just a few seconds... as I do not have patience. Also, the "seatbelt warning light" in steps #3 & #4 is the little red dummy light near the corner, not the red "x" screen. It took me a couple times to get it to work, but it does work.



Also, the red "X" goes away on its own after 1 minute, but I haven't seen a way to make it not appear in the first place.

My life is now better for this post....thank you!

Seems no way to get rid of the OK reminder series of popups. Ive been trying for days.

Also, it seems that 2025 options seem to be different enough from previous versions that a new spreadsheet may be useful. I may be wrong, but it seems that way from all the changes that I have tried that didnt work and I had to do it another way.

Just changing the priority of the sound coming from the speaker system to the dash speaker was a nice quieting of all the alarms as far as seatbelt alarms (IPC Primary source Audio Speakers Only to Instrument Cluster Only).

I reduced the seatbelt chimes to one single quiet one with changing IPC Belt Minder Chime - Row 1 Col 1 and Belt Minder Chime - Row 1 Col 5 to disable. And Chimes - Driver Belt Minder and Passenger Belt Minder to Disabled.

Remove Pop-up "X" for seats:

IPC As Built

720-13-01 0000-0000-0000
720-13-02 0000-0000-0000
720-14-01 0000-0000-0000

This worked on a 2025 Bronco Heritage.

My standard headlights now have yellow DRL's that are on all the time because:

BCM As Configured

726-43-01 0101-XXXX-XXXX

When you use the turn signal, it sounds double-time but does not flash double-time. Also, I made this change while my lights were on "auto". It may work better to change these operations with the lights off, but they work so I just left it as is.

Hope it works for you!

Good thread. Just to add some context on Cordycord's IPC codes — before touching those as-built values, make sure your OBD adapter is solid and you' using FORScan Extended (not the lite/Windows Store version) since it needs full module write access for IPC. The 720-13 and 720-14 blocks control the pop-up screens, so zeroing them out is the right approach.

One thing to be careful about: always read your current as-built first and save a screenshot before writing changes. If you have a 2025 with the latest sync calibration, the defaults in the community spreadsheet may differ slightly from what' in your truck — the saved read is your restore point if anything looks off.

For the BCM DRL change Cordycord also mentioned, that one's reversible but it does change how the amber turn signal integrates with the running light on some trims, so keep an eye on that after the first few drives.

My as built amber DRL did not seem to work this morning, and I’m wondering if I needed to turn the lights from “auto” to “off” in order to get the right results. Any input is appreciated.

Something I noticed when I went a performed some Forscan updates recently. I had researched and found the codes to add the Rock Crawl GOAT mode to my '24 WildTrak, along with enabling the global window close from the fob.

Instead of having to update the "HEX- Like" codes, the UI simply had each feature labeled. I don't remember the exact wording, but there was a radio dial next to each feature where it showed that it was disabled, and I simply clicked on ENABLE, saved my settings and restarted the truck.

There was no need for me to have to replace a character in a code.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this.

The amber DRL behavior on the 2025 depends on which BCM block you modified and what your headlight switch position is. In Auto mode, the BCM controls DRL state based on ambient light sensor input — the DRL circuit runs, but the specific amber turn/DRL integration is managed by a separate byte from the general DRL enable. A couple things to check: First, verify the lights are in Auto, not Off. DRLs only activate when the BCM sees ambient light above a threshold. If you parked in a garage or shaded area when testing, it may not have triggered. Second, check that the amber DRL byte is targeting the correct lamp driver. On some 2025 builds the turn signal/DRL shared circuit uses a different BCM block than the dedicated white DRL circuit. If you modified the white DRL enable block instead of the amber turn-shared block, the white DRLs may have changed behavior but the ambers are untouched. Third, try cycling: lights to Off, then back to Auto with the engine running in daylight. The DRL latch sometimes needs a full ignition cycle after an as-built write to pick up the new values. If you can post which BCM block you changed and what you wrote, can probably narrow it down from there.

Thank you! I have to say that one of the big draws for the Bronco design are the iconic lights. I was a bit let down that the Heritage model didn't come with them, and was planning on upgrading. However I'm not sure if any of the aftermarket lights have shown that they have quality over time, as I'd hate to pay $1k+ plus and have the lights pixel out after a year.

That said, I changed the following:

BdyCM

726-43-01

0101 xxxx xxxx

It did seem to work at first, although the turn signal sound "clicks" double-fast, the light was the right cadence. This morning it didn't seem to be working...not sure what's up.

The double-click sound on the turn signal is expected with 726-43-01 — that byte enables the amber turn/DRL share but the BCM still sends two electrical pulses for the hyperflash compensation, so you hear it even when the light cadence looks right visually. Not a problem.

For the intermittent behavior: the most likely cause is the auto-light threshold. The BCM only activates DRLs when ambient light is above its daytime threshold. If you tested this morning in a garage, under a carport, or even with heavy cloud cover, the sensor may have kept the DRL circuit dormant. Try this: park outside in full daylight, engine running, headlight switch in Auto, wait 10-15 seconds. Should come on.

If it's still inconsistent after that, check whether you saved the write with the engine running vs just key-on. Some BCM blocks on the 2025 need the alternator active (engine running) to fully commit the write — key-on only can look like it saved but revert on next cold start.

I’m really hoping someone figures out the auto hold on the 2025 Soon!
