Hi All
I have just received my dongle from the shop here.Mazda bt50 2017 dual cab. Plugged it in and this is what i get.I am trying to stop park lights etc coming on when door is opened or vehicle is unlocked i have seen topics on dark car and stealth mode. all i can find on forscan on my car is home safe lighting.

Hi & welcome.
Some of these questions may help you out.
Your image isn't showing all the available modules.
Is your copy of Forscan licensed?
The dongle from this shop will read all modules if Forscan is licensed.
I think you are looking for Silent Mode.
Have a look in the Non As-built BdyCM, I think it is there, been a while since I looked.
Once Enabled it will give you an on/off option in your dash menu.

You will need to wait for Stewart.
If Forscan is licensed and you are using one of Stewart's dongles, then it should work.
Maybe a Mazda is slightly different to a Ranger, I don't know.

Delete your exisiting vehicle profiles and scan again. Also not that a BT50 is basically a PX1 so do not confuse it will all non as-built changes here for a PX2. Do so and you will break it.

As it saying the box. Can only be done in engineering mode. Look up the top where the mode currently says "normal", change this to engineering mode and see how you go.

Post a screen shot, I don't have a PX1 so cannot answer. Also have you gone through the Forscan written how to thread here? > https://www.saeb.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1213 <
