Forscan Settings Spreadsheet

Meh, just saying that once you disable the Sony processing you get a far more natural sound and pure output and from there, new more efficient and better sounding speakers go a long way with the power it has too. In any case, you should do this first before adding gadgets you may not need, depending on your tastes. Sure, if you are a 1% audiophile, there's always more you can do, absolutely, I just don't see the need personally and disabling of Sony processing and far better speakers should always be the first place to start anyway.

I don't find the sound quality suffering much with the stock processing. Most of the controls in the Fiesta Titanium I've been renting from time to time has all of it's sound controls centered, with maybe one or two ticks to the right for treble.

Given that the car is rented often and my sound settings haven't been changed, I might be onto something. Of course everybody ears or should I say how you were taught to listen to music is different.

Factory speakers are cheap and have low sensitivity. Then again Infinity speakers sound better but have even lower sensitivity (in the lower 80's db 1w/1m). These are popular upgrades in both cars.I find Morels to be overpriced for what your getting. If you're going down that road, Audio Fogs are worth a look but again I find it hard to spend nearly $500 for seperates when Hertz lower end products work extremely well and are very efficiency speakers.

Also adding an amp gives you some protection from overdriving the speakers in the form of a high pass crossover.

More power and a crossover when turning off the factory protection and sound shaping is the correct move. I'd take it even a step further and look at Kicker's Key amp which offers auto EQ using a mic.

The system also suffers from a lack of deep bass.When I play songs that should pound, it doesn't... The stock speakers do a decent job but a sub improves sound so much more than some of the other options mentioned

Hey guys I tried disabling the Sony sound processing on my car and followed the spreadsheet, but it appears the option to keep Sirius but disable sound processing is already in my APIM module. I bought the car new so I know it has not been messed with before. The sound in the car is really terrible and I think sound processing is still happening. Does anyone know if there is a way to test if sound processing is active, or if I should be using a new value to disable sound processing? I have a 2019 btw...it seems other options don't work for the 2019 as well, such as putting climate control on screen...did Ford change things around with the 2019?

Any pointers would be great. I don't really know what I'm doing so I am afraid to just start trying random values and bricking my car.

Newbie here with Focus, btw, just trying to help out with a Forscan issue...….. I have a 2018 Focus SEL with Sync 3 and the Sony System which has a woofer and tweeter in each of the 4 doors, a dash speaker, and the subwoofer. I did not keep good notes on what I did at first but anyway... The sound was not good and not what any of my previous Fords with "premium" sound sounded like.... My 2009 Focus Sony system was better and I'm happy if I can get to that level. I tried Forscan on the 2018 and tried many changes, but it still wasn't right. I reset the Forscan setting back to factory. So, I got new speakers and these made a noticable difference but still not right to my ears. It wasn't until I saw a post in the Explorer forums about making a change to the "ACM" "audio Equalizer" at 727-01-02 with x*xx in Forscan and my default is 0031 (remember I have Focus so your's may be different). The poster mentioned that in the Russian forums, that 7 or 9 would be best. So, I changed the second character from 0 to 9 and I have yet to try the 7 or others. Wow ! That did it...Huge improvement.. and I can finally hear the rear tweeters ! I can only assume that this change is the equivalent to what "danbfree" has done and I can't agree with him more when he says that if there's one reason to use Forscan, this is it.

So, Jesse_MI I suggest giving this one change a shot since the others seem to have had no effect and I hope it works for you...

Where do you backup the settings? How do you backup the settings also...

Just played with forscan for the first time, now I have the ST splash screen and on-screen climate controls on my 2017 with sync 3.4. The voice commands work for the climate control, but it asks to confirm the temperature whenever I ask. Is there any way to turn the confirmation off?

Think it's called Advanced Commands or something along those lines.

I need to disable the camera, I had a wiring issue and don't feel like working with it at this piont. I thought I made a backup, but can't find it. Does anyone have that entire line of code I can use to disable it?

Is this spreadsheet actually up-to-date? I just got FORscan downloaded and was poking around. I thought I'd try messing with the load screen and change from Ford to ST. Spreadsheet says to change 7D0-02-01 xxxx xXxx xxxx. If I change the second character in the second set of hex; that should do it. When I hit write it comes up with a checksum error and warns me to not continue. Watching this video: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHcoSn0A7ZU&feature=youtu.be
it shows him altering 7D0-01-01 to make screen changes (along with backup cam). What gives?
