For me, that's a good thing. I can follow instructions to a T. When I start to experiment, that's when trouble starts, haha

Well, I'm job 2 but I have a Canadian car where the DRL acts like the European. I'm also the cheerleader.

I already stopped doing any changes for a few days.

i was about to say how yours is a job 1, but i double checked just in case. yours is a very, very late job 2; September 2024. yours also has the LDCMA, LDCMB, and HCM software that the GTD has. i decided to compare some other stuff too.
your right headlight part number ends in R and the left ends in X, which is also true for the GTD.
your HCM is NL1Z-13K198-T, also the same as the GTD.
so out of all of us in the thread, you're the best candidate to actually get this working.

also, while i was typing this, i discovered that Ford finally uploaded the wiring diagrams ans workshop manual for the GTD! time to get comparing those

This might help but I have no clue, I messaged that one guy that managed to do it, he said that he should be able to help me as long as I have “FDRS” I gotta sneaking suspicion he’s gonna try to have me pay him but I got RGB headlights being delivered soon so I probably won’t proceed if he does.

edit - just realized that means “Ford Diagnostic and Repair System”

FDRS is a dealer-level tool for programming of modules. a 2-day license is $50, 30-day is $200, and 365-day is $900. the fact you apparently need FDRS is quite interesting. if he does require being paid, PM me how much. im willing to pitch in funding for this project

so, good news. it looks like the HCM, headlight, and LDCM are wired the exact same exact way a north american non-GTD is. that means no wiring harness swaps or patches. i also learned a bunch of random stuff about the GTD, like how the whole trunk delete was done just for the transaxle fluid cooler, and how the "deck lid" is a part of the rear bumper cover assembly

gotcha, I’ve sent him the vin on WhatsApp just waiting for a response.

i guess its a sort of waiting game now. i've been a bit burnt out on searching for things lately, but will do a bit more looking tomorrow. i swear, if this ends up being something really simple i missed...

Yes, but just like I said earlier. When I compared all regions, the GCC and US have almost the same way of programming the DRL while EU and Canada has their DRL programmed differently.

If this thing is a region thing, than it's useless for me to try things out since it can make it different.

For example, I'm going to try a few combinations out and it won't work.
I come back to this forum and report that what I tried didn't work. Somebody else with a US or GCC car reads it and goes try something else while the lines I have made could be the right line to get the DRL to work, but didn't work because of the region settings.

Sorry, it's hard for me to explain, but I hope you understood what I'm saying.

Same thing happened to me when I wanted to enable TSR. I had all the lines right, but my TSR didn't work. What was wrong? The region settings.

So it's way easier for US and GCC to go try things out since they are similar.

Anyways, I think the guy from Saudi Arabia is not using Forscan.

Why I think this..
- He asks a lot of money
- I showed him my GTD splash screen and the first thing he did was laugh. He said what I did is not what he did. He knew directly that the change that I made was not changing the whole screen into the GTD animation and told me that he has all screens and animations changed to GTD.

These two together make me think he uses that expensive Ford tool with the expensive monthly subscription and that's why he asks a lot of money which makes sense.

he is 100% using FDRS to do something, you cant change the IPC to a GTD's without reprogramming it. the normal Mustang programming just simply does not have it. FDRS is $50 for 2 days, $150 for 30 days, and $850 for 365 days. plus, you need a specific adapter which costs $2000+

Well, at least that's out of the air. And it looks silly to have a GTD screen anyways. It's only fun if you could toggle it on and off, to make small kids happy when they jump in the car and want to see cool stuff.
