Quick correction. In the video I seemed to imply if your truck is missing the wires this install is not possible. That’s untrue, however it becomes much more difficult. You will have to run new wiring. Others have done it on both the lightning forums and the ice f150 forums.
I have a 2023 F150 Lightning in Lariat with extended range, so it already includes the Blue Cruise (with adaptive cruise control) but I still find your videos like this interesting and cool. Good job, and thanks for sharing.
Finally got around to doing this upgrade. I’ve got Pro that is near identical to you build. Thanks to your video (and the forum link for the forscan bit) it’s working like a charm. It really does also add lane centering!
This was so very helpful on how to remove the front bumper. I hit a deer in my '22 lariat edition and it wiped out the "shutters" ( I would have called them baffles) along with some of the trim. Removing the front bumper was counterintuitive and I wouldn't have been able to do it without your video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post this video!!
I did this with my XLT 311A. I tried answering a couple of your questions on this forum post the community lucky to have this video out there now. Thanks for letting people see what they're getting Into also if you set adaptive cruise control on and click the "lane keeping" button it's actually lane centering as long as you have lane markings on both sides and "hold" the wheel lol
I definitely got my eye on that one too. I installed the keypad as a sort of in between solution but it’s not quite the same. My old truck had it and I didn’t realize how much I liked it until it was gone.
here's been my work-around for 'keyless' entry from DAY ONE with my own PRO: put the key fob in the center console and LEAVE IT THERE.. Your phone/FordPassApp will allow you entry with the push of a button, anytime, from anywhere - and distance is NOT a concern. I even loaded the FordPassApp on my wife's phone so that, just in the case I could not get my own app/phone to work, she could give it a go. It's worked AWESOME for 20,000 miles all over the southeast - I've never had any issue, and don't have to carry the key fob with me. No door code needed.
@@turnersinsurance8656 I'm pleased that has worked for you and, if I lived in a developed area with good cell service, I'd be tempted to try it. But my two homes are 1) in the Mojave Desert and 2) in very rural Arkansas. My travels, almost on a daily basis, take me to locations with poor-to-nonexistent cellular service. I all it takes is for either the iPhone or the Lightning to lose connectivity and I'd be SOL. Also, if anyone were to break into the truck, one of the first places they are going to ransack is the center console. If I hid the fob there - or wherever - I've literally just handed them the keys to the Lightning. I think I will wait until Kurt and others determine if passive entry can be retrofitted to the Pro.
So for those of you curious I have a totally bare bones truck (aside from extended range and max tow) I was able to do this by making my own wires from the IPMA connector under the drivers side dash, to the cruise control module then do all the steps in forscan.
This is amazing to know because I really like the Pro model (other than the low range of course) and I really wanted this feature. In fact now I am searching for this feature to be added to my current STX
This is a great video! Appreciate you taking your time to explain and walk through the process. By any chance can Al these steps and parts work on a 2022 F150 lariat?
Nope. Those sensors are strictly for parking. If you don’t have the tow technology package though there is a bit more work you have to do. Go to the link in the video description for the f150lightningforums thread on the subject. There is some additional wiring that has to be run.
@@Blackford86 Ya then you will almost certainly have to run the additional wiring. Its not too bad but its not as simple as my video shows. A few forum members have done it at this point.
I thought the clock spring had to be replaced (plus you get free heated steering wheel)? I love the Frunk speaker removal, can you do door chimes next? Oh and blinker clicking?
Haha I’ll look into it. For this job no clock spring change required. From what I have seen no one has been able to crack the heated steering wheel just yet. Seems like it needs a new clock spring, a new 12v power wire run straight from the battery and who knows what else. Hopefully someone figures it out.
I followed this guide exactly, prechecked for all the wires, installed everything step by step, programmed until up where CCM needs input but no matter how many times i reconnect/restart/ checked all the values I simply couldnt get CCM module to show up in forscan 😢 I have a fully loaded 23 Pro ... HELP 🙏🙏🙏
So I contacted my dealer regarding this to see if they would add this to my vehicle. They said my vehicle is not retrofitted with the accessories required to convert it into adaptive basically saying that I don't have the sensor on top of the rear view mirror to be able to facilitate this. Do y'all think they're bullshitting just so they don't have to do it? Or is there a way to check if I have the proper equipment for adaptive cruise control
I’ve already looked at the forscan ahead of time, and it looks like there are a few different numbers and letters than what the guide To changes shows the as built. Does that matter? For example, one said change A to 4 , but I had an E where A was supposed to be. Still change to 4??
@@Havencheer2014 ya I had the same thing. I took a picture before hand just in case and then went ahead and changed the value anyways. Seemed to work. No issues to report so far.
@@KurtsRPMGarage I got her all done today, easy peezy honestly. As some others, my first try I forgot one line of code, so didn't work right off the bat, but quickly fixed and recalibrated and was working great. FYI, my pro 22', had just the tow tech and pro power. that seems to be the pro's secret sauce to having all the wiring. SO worth the money, thanks for you video, it helped me tremendously knowing the steps and where things were. made it so easy. thanks again
So because my lightning was not ordered with the proper wiring, I’m just going to be wiring straight from the IPMA to the CCM. Is it possible to mount the CCM from the outside without removing the bumper? After that I can just fish the wires up with the tub removed. I guess I could have just asked you on the forum lol
@@KurtsRPMGarageso in regards to removing the airbag to swap switches. At first you talked about unhooking the battery and letting the vehicle sit for 30 seconds to a minute, and then when you went to remove the airbag you said 30 minutes to an hour. Also do you have to turn the truck back on to move the steering wheel 180 degrees? Thanks.
Someone corrected me in a different comment. You don't have to let the truck sit more than a couple minutes for the airbag. I was just being overly cautious. Also yes you have to turn the truck on to turn the steering wheel. Otherwise it locks you out after a couple degrees. @@michaelt.9372
Want to do this so badddd... just worried about the front bumper portion .... I'm not known to be delicate with clips. Forscan no biggy. just time consuming. My pro is a 22', do you know if any 22 pros have done this? Mine is early build, june 22..... Why check wiring on both sides of cab, necessary?
Unfortunately you need to check both. A few unlucky trucks appeared to have one side of the wires but not the other. Don’t know of a pattern to it just yet.
This might help avoiding the warning to take over the steering wheel th-cam.com/video/gNY13C3fU4M/w-d-xo.html Another thing to consider th-cam.com/video/-VO3Ig4sLVc/w-d-xo.html

Also, if I get lucky with the wires and install the parts would my Ford dealer program it, of course with $$$ !? Thank you sir 👍
@@Vito_Bardo hey man. Ya it’s been great. Use it almost everyday without issue. If you install the parts it shouldn’t hurt anything even if you don’t have the wires. However if you don’t have the wires and turn it on with forscan the computer may freak out and throw a code. No idea on the dealer question. I try and avoid dealers as much as possible. Wouldn’t hurt to ask though.
@@KurtsRPMGarage Got it, thanks. Yeah, I will install the parts but will not touch Forscan 😬 Once I install all the parts perhaps I can pay you just to program !?! 😉 If not, then I'll ask around if any of the dealers can, otherwise just drive around with all hardware installed hoping to find a brave soul willing to program 😎🙏 Cheers mate 👏

Hey love your videos. Take delivery of my 24 Pro in a month. I hope these hacks work for me. Especially ACC! Subscribed
9:17 according to another video, that is you backing up warning sound speaker.
Good to know thanks. Luckily I did not end up needing to remove that.
FYI - the shop manual says to wait 1 minute after depowering to proceed with removal of the airbag. So a 30 min wait time should not be necessary.
Great info thank you.
Where can I get this shop manual you speak of :)
Good stuff, impressive!
This is a great video! Appreciate you taking your time to explain and walk through the process.
By any chance can Al these steps and parts work on a 2022 F150 lariat?
I believe so as long as it has the correct wiring. Consult the f150 owner forums. There are a few threads on the topic.
@@KurtsRPMGarage awesome! Thank you for your reply.

Have you thought about trying to color patch the door handles, mirrors, rear bumper, etc.?
A little. Might do the bumpers but the rest I’m likely going to leave alone. I’m fairly happy with how it looks.
