Hi guys,
I hope this is the right post.
I've done some setting test on the IPC module. I have enabled some, I have enabled and disabled others and some others seem not to work on my Ranger.
At the end of these tests I noticed that the clock on the display had disappeared and in its place there were dashes (-: -).
I then rewritten the data with the original saving of the ICP module and the time has reappeared correctly.
At this point I thought to enable one function at a time and check what happened with the clock.
I have therefore enabled the "Climate Menu" and the clock has disappeared again.
I have once again reset the original conditions, but the clock has not returned.

Please can you help me restore the watch?

I've encountered other problems, but I think it's better to solve one thing at a time ...

Thank you

Just change the time up an hour, down an hour on the radio and it will revert back. This is the quickest way anyway.

Hi Stewart,
With the .19 Beta release is it possible to change the front and rear 12volt sockets in my 2018 Everest Platinum+ 2.0Litre so that they turn off with the ignition. I have tried the Ranger+the150 Mods without success.

Hi Mate,

Ranger+the150 Mods? Can you explain?

Can you post a screen shot of what you are trying to change at all or explain how and where.

Thank you.

Hi Stewart,
The modifications on the spreadsheets (Powerpoints) for the Ranger and F-150 with Forscan that are online.
But Ford must have changed them for the 2018 Titanium Plus 2.0L.
I would like the 12volt points at dash and at the left inside tailgate to switch off with engine or within 5-10 seconds of pressing ignition off.
I use a front and rear dashcam but have to physically pull out the plug from said sockets otherwise they stay on overnight when the car is parked.
I apologize for being an ass with this, but would love to see a mod sheet for the latest Everest Platinum+ (2018 2.0L) as they appear to have changed from the earlier models (ie Ranger and F150 and maybe Raptor).
Much Thanx in advance.

Mate just picked up a PX3 and it looks like they now have TPMS Pressures showing on the right screen.

I haven't had mine long enough to have experience with Ford backporting features, is this something we'll likely have access too on the PX2's at some stage eith via Forscan or Ford directly?

Most likely not. Firmware would only be available if there was an update.

I'm not holding out for one anytime soon.

It appears all SOC and critical parameters are turned off in the BCM for your vehicle. So its either how it is for your area or the programming is wrong. All critical state of charge lines are 0% so I cannot see how the vehicle would shut down before a flat battery.

At the same time though, the power point time out is already set to 1 second.

Any chance you can get the VIN from another local vehicle that is the same as yours? I want to make sure it is not a mistake before changing anything.

Hi Guys,
Could someone please tell me what is "off road gauge" and what is the intelligent 4wd gauge"

Not real sure but as a guess I would assume off road gauge is the tilt and roll indicators and Intelligent 4wd is the diagram showing the driveline and which wheels drive is being applied... but I have been known to be wrong. :o

Apparently our Rangers don't have the required hardware or sensors, which is probably why it's not enabled fro factory.
