Yes. There is a button under your center screen.

Big brother wants us to comply

you know to save something
just like they did on wall microwaves and convection ovens, clock shuts off after a minute to save power...never mind the freaking 65 watt halogen bulb shining down on the cooktop will stay on until it burns out,

You think they made it unhackable on 25 or do you think the setting has been moved or changed?

Right now forscan can't turn it off.
But I imagine the brains will solve it, if possible
Also big brother made changes in some vehicles you cannot change settings to account for larger tires to correct speedo

A new harness is under developement currently. No one has been able to get their hands on a 25 yet to re-engineer the needed harness is what I was told when spoke to company.

I've tried Forscan to disable it on my 25' and it does not show up as an option. Neither does Driver and Passenger seat belt chimes. I also want to remove the fake exhaust noise, so I'm looking to see if that can be done as well. I was able to disable double honk leaving cabin and use front fog light with high beam.

On the forscsn sheet .I update a note for 21 t 23 s with 14 speaker b. O
Compare it to your as built files, for the 25 in the DSP and ACM areas
I just have not had time to work the 25s yet
Plus.. my dog is a 23


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...YxbxZh92wdcE/edit?gid=397748687#gid=397748687
this is what i found so far for 25s....I HAVE NOT TESTED IT, as i have a 23 and no one has raised their hand :ROFLMAO:
it looks like it if you go to acm 727
727-01-02 xxxx x*xx xx-- select 4 =CC Disabled • ANC Enabled • ESEPS Disabled • MSS Disabled
that should turn off the PROPULSION sound, it got renamed???

and dsp 783
783-01-01 *xxx xx--
change the * to 2 =R Reserved • APIM Do not log missing APIM messages • R Reserved • ANCPS ANC not present


I AM NOT saying that is 100%, you need to try it and back up your as built files first
you are the test mule as it is

I successfully modified the parameters for ACM 727-01-02, changing the value from 2 to 4. However, I couldn't modify DSP 783-01-01 because it kept giving me a checksum error and wouldn't allow me to set the value to 2 as recommended. I won't be able to test if the change worked until later this evening.

How can I get the 2025 ST spreadsheets? Is there a function on FORScan that allows me to download the configuration settings? Some other settings I would like to set the auto stop/start feature to off, remove the turn signals noise (too loud), and turn off the seat belt reminders for the 2nd and 3rd row passenger seats.
