S650 Mustang Tools and Utilities

[roket]

i have made a new page on my website that will be home to various tools and utilities for 2024+ Mustangs
here is a link to the page
at the moment, there is only tools to get ForScan codes for tire sizes and differential ratios, but there will be more stuff added in the future
if you have any suggestions for tools to add, please let me know and i will likely look into it!

Changelog:
8/21/23 - initial launch
8/23/23 - added module list

possible new tool if i can figure out how to reverse engineer the custom drive mode. no promises, though

Thanks for sharing and doing the leg work!

Here's hoping Global windows will be available in Forscan on the S650. I have very low expectations that it will bc of the previous gen but I absolutely love that feature enabled on my F150. Saved me a few times when I had my windows down and it started to rain!

I just got delivered my Mustang GT and I just found out the welcome lighting comes only on premium. I would love to know how to activate the approaching feature with Forscan.

I have no clue

@roket have you attempted to sniff the CAN bus to see if this switch [Auto Start/Stop, not used on GT] makes itself known, ie the address of the switch or is there any response code given from pressing it?

Are these switches associated with FCIM, or another module?

i looked at wiring diagrams and can tell you that there's a high chance that the buttons just communicate to a module via something like PWM. the only dedicated wires are for the hazard button, the max defrost button, and power for the max defrost button's light, plus some other stuff. connector face and pinning attached for that Audio Control Panel

Appreciate your efforts.
I just learned something!
I made the assumption that most of the data traffic would be over CAN bus, but I see reference to a LIN bus wire there. (Never heard of LIN bus before, but having Googled it, it's be around for a while!)

I've developed my own projects (for ham radio/electronic enthusiasts) that can control and interact with a device via it's CAN bus.
But LIN bus could make it a whole lot easier for what I had in mind, as it basically works like a UART serial interface on a microcontroller (no CAN bus to SPI adapter required, blah blah).

The 4 remaining "buttons" on that panel will talk to the master module it's connected to, and each button will have it's own identifier. (The wire that is connected to pin 3).
