Man, I added the missing Baja mode, and am excited my small investment in the gear to make this happen was worth it. I don’t foresee any other uses for me, apart from disabling the Double Honk. Thanks for the write up on your discovery.

Awesome, thank you! Sorry if you’ve mentioned this before, but which cable/interface do you use?

Brilliant. Thanks for your time and effort. Reading the recent responses, it seems you guys have started something good!
Nicely done video.
I now have all 8 GOAT modes. It's the BadOBX when the Badlands and OBX have a love child. LOL
What part of NE? Maybe next time I get to Foxboro for a game? Probably won't be till 2023 at the rate I'm waiting...heheMaybe.
What a lot of vehicle manufacturers do is develop their computer system for their highest trim vehicle, and then disable certain features in the lower end trim levels. That's effectively what Ford seems to have done here with the GOAT modes. Occasionally the manufacturers will also develop a new feature that is coded within the computer, but never made it to the final production vehicle for whatever reason... so it's just sitting there disabled.
If Ford put the development work for a digital tac, then theoretically yes, you could turn it on.
FORScan cannot add something that isn't already there. It can turn on/off/modify features that already exist within the computer system, but it cannot create new features that were never there to begin with.
I'll do it... after you sign a sheet of paper that absolves me from any responsibility for potentially voiding your warranty.
But in all honesty, yes... I can do it as long as you are okay with any warranty concerns. I'm in New England, but my parents live in northern Arizona, and I have plans to visit them once my Bronco arrives. Hoping it'll be in time for spring break, but may not happen until summer.
Definitely don't wait for me though, who knows when my Bronco is going to arrive.

I'm along the CT/MA border. I regularly visit Charlton, MA (Tree House Brewing), but we can figure out the details once we actually get our Broncos.
Seems like a lot of people have gotten good results, so things are looking promising. I just got my new ODB-II adapter today, but realized about an hour ago that I need a laptop. Earlier this month I bought the new M1 Pro MacBook Pro and sold my old MacBook Pro. FORScan doesn't run on Mac, and the new Macs don't run Windows. So... that was dumb of me—way to be an idiot.
Hoping Black Friday has something decent.

I saw someone on facebook say they used the crossover app to use forscan on their mac.I'm along the CT/MA border. I regularly visit Charlton, MA (Tree House Brewing), but we can figure out the details once we actually get our Broncos.

Since yesterday I have read through this entire thread and I would like to thank all of those who have contributed actual knowledge on how all this works regarding the warranty and what it actually happens with which control and functions are responsible for the changes. Also a big thanks to those who have done this and having no adverse effects.
I have a 2 door OBX on order and I opted for the 4A and locking rear diff. Even if I never use the GOAT modes that forscan can unlock it will be cool just to have them. Hoping to have my Bronco by late spring if my projected build date holds but time will tell.

This is basically what I have 2 door OBX 2.7 Adv 4x4 with lux and tow. Enabling all the GOAT modes is cool, but not as cool as getting rid of the double honk!!!

Is there any definitive word yet, as to whether doing this would cause any warranty issues?
Anyone here who can speak for @Ford Motor Company or any dealers watching this?
So far as I understand the law, it shouldn't, but you never know what excuses might successfully be used to deny warranty coverage.

Yup had to go 2.7 as well. I really wanted the 4A due to the winters here
I think that I found someone who can speak for @Ford Motor Company
He says, "Trust me, I speak for @Ford Motor Company."
"Your warranty will be fine, until it isn't..."
