Has anyone found out how to enable the sport dashboard in every mode? Or at least have it automatically start in sport mode. It is such a hassle putting it in sport mode every time I get in the car. It is the only mode I am interested in I don't care about overdrive. On highway drives I'll switch to normal mode.

I'm still looking for a way have the irritating auto stop/start default to off. I would like it to be functional, but only turn on when I decide to turn it on; not when the green new deal people decide I need it.
I don't know what address it is, so I went into plain language and changed "Auto Start Stop" to disable. This did not work well. IIRC, after starting the Explorer, the auto stop start icon was not on; the light on the switch was on and the switch no longer functioned. Driving for a while, it seemed like might have worked; first few stops the engine did not turn off. Then, at the next stop, it turned off.
If I can't get it to default to deactivated (with the option to turn it on), I would choose to just deactivate it permanently. I live in a rural area with very little stop and go traffic; the system has no value to me; just excess wear & tear on my starting system.
Back to the drawing boards.

You'll need a windows PC and I'd recommend the OBDLINK EX cable. After you download the latest version of forscan, get the free 2 month trial of the extended license and register your forscan. You can buy a license after that if you find Forscan useful and want to help out... or you can re-apply for the free trial extended license over and over. I'd watch a few videos on youtube before you do anything and after that, save your AsBuilt data for all the modules or at least any module you plan to modify.

ForScan is incredible. It is literally a game changer for the Ford Explorer St or any Ford for that matter. I was glad to pay 20 bucks for 2 years I think or 30 bucks for 2 years I forget which. We need to support these guys.
This is the OBD2 connector I purchased on Amazon. It was a breeze to get working. Windows laptop is definitely the way to go.

I have downloaded it, bought the adapter (actually bought the MX+ and then realized that I needed the EX - wired version - to make changes). But....It's not as easy as everyone makes it seem. I thought I was tech savvy but the interface is very confusing to me. I am still searching through youtube to find a good explanation of how to make chages. Going to take a deep dive this weekend. I wish someone from here would make a video specific for an explorer (don't know if that even makes a difference).
