I've got Global Open to work, but Global Close still isn't working.
As far as the sun roof, not sure on where it would be since the Escape has 2 BCMs, but that was actually something that had to be set in the PDM & DDM.
 
Just a friendly ForScan reminder after reading on another forum a guy's woes from bricking his BCM.
Make sure you have a battery charger connected to the car and that your laptop is on AC power (not the car 120v outlet).
If the battery on either shuts down while writing it's a 50/50 chance that you'll brick a module and the dealer cannot recover a bricked module.
 
Few new questions...
1) Has anyone tried turning on the IPC frost warning on a Hybrid with the 12.3"? It's an indicator the Kuga's have.
2) Anyone tried enabling the other Kuga vehicle control on the APIM? (Global Open/Close, etc).
 
It's not bad. Lots of online threads and videos folks have done to assist with anything you might do.
Just need to make sure you have a battery charger on the car when you do it and the laptop on AC power, losing power on either during a write session can brick a module.
You also need:
1) a good OBD2 adapter, the OBDLink EX or MX work best
2) To keep in mind some changes have unintended consequences (eg turning off auto start/stop also kills the cross traffic warnings when backing up).
3) To be aware that the easy button options are a "guesstimate" based on the logic people have found and things that work in say Europe may not work here in the US (and vice versa) due to changes in logic/firmware between models & markets (turning on the ice warning on the cluster of my 2014 Fusion Hybrid disabled my heat because the setting was only valid for a Fusion Energi PHEV which has a heat control module).
4) To back up the current module configs before you start so you can revert and keep the number of changes per session to a minimum. It makes trouble shooting a lot easier when something isn't working afterwards. (eg enabling folding mirrors on a Fusion or Edge requires changes to the IPC, DDM & PDM and the easy button only makes the changes in the current module it doesn't span across all the modules)
5) To learn a bit about addition/subtraction in HEX 0=0, 1-9 are straight forward, A=10, F=15. As an example in the 2013-2015 MFT you could enable a graphic equalizer (whose settings wouldn't hold across ignition cycles hence the reason it never made it to production). If you made a slight addition error you got the equalizer but it told the cluster you had a different NAV repeater, so 1 mile to the next turn on the MFT could display on the cluster as 500 miles instead.

For the Ice/Frost warning on the 12.3 screen: 720-01-02 xxxx x8 turns on at 39º

The global open/close control added to the APIM menu works after the BCM changes are done.
Add heated seats and wheel to APIM:
For the Hybrid you can just add the wheel using the easy button, to add seats and wheel you have to disable the Hybrid app first

The Mach E has a lot of somewhat applicable info.
 
You have to wait for it to get cold, or pull the nose to get to the air temp sensor and put it in a bucket of ice.
When its cold out it stays on as long as the temp is below 39º F, if you're driving down the road and go through an area that's above 40º for a couple of miles it will turn off and come right back on if the temp drops back down.
Personally I'd prefer it threw a splash warning in the message center when it activates like is did on our 2004 Freestar.
 
I have a 2020 Escape SEL Sync 3.4
APIM
Part number: LU5T-14G371-CKC
Calibration level: LU5T-14G371-CKH (latest known: LU5T-14G371-CMT)
Strategy : 1U5T-14G374-EH
Calibration: 1U5T-14G375-DA
You can ask over on cyanlabs.net for the correct firmware that you can got up to.
The 2021's that come with this enabled are 5U5T-14371-CNC APIMs not LU5T units.
 
Nope,
Ford went to defaulting to normal mode after Tesla got hit with the lawsuit where there was a death due to insane mode being left on after a restart rather than it going back to normal mode. Girl driving her drunk boss & his Tesla home after a party didn't know about it, took avoiding action to keep from hitting a car while she was driving him back and went airborne killing them both.
 
Ford has it tied to the current transmission mode, that way there is visible feedback.
What should be changed in the shifting strategy is going to vary based on the fuel used, etc.
Whoever provides your tune should hopefully know enough about the engine/8F35 combination to get you where you want to be, everybody is different It's not unusual to have one tune for 87 octane and another for 93 octane.
If you have the 2.0L EB you could start by looking at what Ford did with the Edge where they logically dropped a gear and made the tranny into a 7 speed.

The calibration level needs to be set to LU5T-14G371-CKF to get rear seat minder.
This gives you:
CAN F188 1U5T-14G374-EM
CAN F16B 5U5T-14G379-BC
 
Download Asbuilt Explorer and look at the deltas between a 24 Maverick's APIM that has it and a 24 Escape's that doesn't. Depending on the climate repeater in the model you may or may not be able to get it working.
