The programming took less than 5 minutes once connected to the vehicle and logged into FDRS. It is always good practice to have a Power Supply connected to the Battery for any updates, just to play it safe.

The Dealer for sure can install it and will have to activate it in FDRS. Install requires taking the door card off, disconnecting the window and all the trim. I did it myself and paid $50 for 2 day access to FDRS. Comes with detailed instructions. Was not hard at all. You will need the...

Same here, Auto stop/start no go, bambi mode works great!

It's the metallic flake. Agate Black Metallic.

Cool, I tagged him in this post, so if he's interested, I'd be happy to help. I operate an IT company and could easily assist with this if they would like.

I have a 2025. We could setup a Remote Session to my Laptop and you and @Livnitup can try out some mods. Couldn't hurt anything. I have FDRS and the Mongoose Adapter now, so no fear, LOL!!!!

Off subject, but look at that finish after a very mild polish with Caliber Plus Silica Polish. This is probably the best paint job I have seen roll off Ford's line, especially Chicago!

Received the Mongoose yesterday. Box was sealed and not activated. Software installed with no issue. Fired up FDRS and ran the BCM - Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Wired Keypad programming. Procedure took about 5 minutes. While running this procedure, I noticed FDRS automatically handled the...

So was your circular tape piece intact?

One of the reviewers said their box was taped. Anyone can tape a box so that doesn't really say much. The biggest tell would be the message saying the device was already activated. As long as I don't get that message, I'd consider it a NIB. We'll see.

I think I saw a review that mentioned that. I am a Business Prime member so if it is used, I will send it back till I get one Sealed NIB. I have that happen a lot with computer parts. People purchase a new part and return the old part. Scumbag move imo. I've received an actual RED BRICK...

Yes, I saw that. I plan on using it a good bit on my vehicles, friends and family, so owning one is the ticket for me! The loaner program is genius though!

Oh yeah, as much as I do on these vehicles and everyone in our family drives Ford. So this can be used on 7 different vehicles we own. Easily will pay for it self after a few uses. Excited to try it out. Thanks for the link, I got that bookmarked ready to go. Should have the adapter this...

LOL, I had thought about that, but they all know me at the Dealer and Svc Dept. since we buy everything there. I do all of their IT as well. The owner was the one that handed me the new Keypad when I picked it up and we were BS'ing with the Svc Mgr. So it' be pretty hard to pull it off. I...

Heard back from FORScan Team and they can't assist. I just purchased the Mongoose Plus J2534 Wired Adapter. Will report back how the process went and the steps to activate the keypad.

The ST has the Adaptive Headlights? I didn't take notice since we only have about 100 miles on it at this point and no night driving yet. I thought that was only a Platinum feature? My 2024 LARIAT has this feature and I love it! Oh, and I noticed Ford finally used LED's in the License Plate...

No after I extract the manual and remove my Oasis report, it breaks the links. I haven't figured out how to extract without the Oasis report so the links don't break.

Yeah, I was thinking about purchasing a new adapter so I can run FDRS when needed. I'm gonna see what FORScan team says first. Hopefully they can figure something out. The cheapest adapter was like $400 on Amazon.

I was wondering why some FORScan things weren't working on my 24 LARIAT. Thank you to all the people who take the time to make the spreadsheets. It is really appreciated. To show my gratitude, here's the shop manual for the 2025 Explorer and the 2024 F150.

Awesome! Thanks!
