That's a bummer, it really makes lane keeping useless on any straight roads.
Hang your finger off of the spoke with your arm sorta limp. The truck knows that you have your hands on the wheel based on how much torque the steering rack has to use to fight your input. If you add a slight bit of weight with a limp arm hanging from a finger or thumb, the truck knows you are there and will not complain.

I've got good news for everyone, I have finally figured out anti-glare high beams for 6G USDM Ranger Raptors. Remember, all changes are at your own risk, however I just got out of the truck after testing this for a half an hour. It's the real deal.

Coding is as follows:
IPMA706-01-01xxxx, xxx9, xxxx
SCCM724-04-01xxx3, xxxx
IPC720-10-01xxxx, xxx2, xxxx
HCM734-01-02x2xx, xxxx, xxxx
HCM734-01-04xxA0, D1xx
APIM7D0-09-01x1xx, xxxx, xxxx
APIM7D0-09-03xx8x, xxxx, xxxx

Remember, do NOT replace any data with an "x", only the actual digits shown. Make backups of your vehicle as always.

This was done by comparing European and Australian asbuilt dumps to the asbuilt of my truck and I used the old F150 guide for direction.

Happy New Year everybody!

(please update the spreadsheet once you test it @craigc)
I did this today and it worked like a charm. The toggle even shows up in settings now. What a cool feature. Thanks for figuring this out!

I'll try it, thanks for the tip

I couldn't get it to work. After applying the mods with FORscan, I get an error message on the console during start up:

Advanced front lighting features
Temporarily unavailable
See manual​

I do see the glare-free slider in vehicle settings, but toggling it on or off doesn't appear to do anything. The mods did disable the auto-dimming feature, but there is no green headlight icon and no evidence when driving that the headlights are shaping their beam patterns.

I must have done something wrong, but can't figure out what. I think I might have fat-fingered some of the entries, so I repeated the process three times. No joy.

If you have that error, there is a coding error in the HCM. Outside of that, no other coding mismatch will cause that error.

Your issue should be in 734-01-04, make sure your value you gets changed to 00A0 D1. This sets the overall module to the new programming. If you could, send me a PM with your vin so I can verify the asbuilt.

Thanks for jumping in to help. At that address in the HCM module, I changed the asbuilt values from 0011 to 00A0 (using your xxA0 template) and from 1E6F to D16F (using your D1xx template). At least that's what I tried to do, but I might very well have screwed it up.

After my previous post I gave it another go and I think it took this time 🤞. Not 100% sure yet because it's not dark enough here to road test, but at least that pesky error message is gone. I'm not seeing the green anti-glare icon on the console yet, but I'm hoping that's because the system doesn't engage until it gets dark enough for high beams. Does that sound right?

It will work just as the auto high beams worked before. It will still give you the blue high beam telltale as it did before. Just different performance.

I'm working on trialing more changes in the HCM right now, I'll let you guys know if I see any more success.

You called it. I'm just back from the road test and I'm pleased to report that the anti-glare technology is fully functional on my truck. It is AMAZING! If you have a Ranger Raptor, don't hesitate to turn on this functionality, even if it takes a few iterations. On my test drive, the entire forward field of view seemed completely illuminated just as if I had my high beams on regardless of other drivers. The beam was shaped so none of the oncoming drivers or the ones I was following were ever over-illuminated.

So cool that Ford built this next level lighting technology into their trucks.
So strange to me that they didn't enable it by default.

Thank you, moproblems. Both for sussing this out in the first place and for helping me get past the impediments. You rock, buddy!

Jumping into my Forscan to try the headlight mod, but for some reason I cant install the new license key I was issued. I just installed the new 2.3.64 release earlier. Does that have anything to do with it? Ive tried downloading and installing the new key 5 times and it never takes. Anyone else having issues?

734-01-04 may differ from raptor. If anyone has issues that will be where the issue lies. Just keep me updated and if need be I can do some checking if it doesn't work.
Okay, tested on a 24 Lariat and I get the advanced front lighting malfunction. I've been over it a few times to check for errors. Here is my before and after coding.

Edit: I just did a bunch of searching through dealers in Australia for Platinum and Wildtraks with upgraded headlights, then plugged them into the As-Built site. Their coding for 0734-01-04: 0028-ED55.

Edit: Removed the table to limit bad data in the thread now that it's solved.

Today...

Rock crawl, approach lighting, tire temps.

Running out of things to change that I even care about.
A warning about approach lighting if you didn't see the caution on the spreadsheet - it has been found this desentizes the touch free locking/unlocking of the door.

For Rock crawl, did you get the cameras to work as they do on a Raptor?

Agreed. My wife just got a 2025 Kia (SUV, not a truck) and as a test I drove it with my hands completely off the wheel for at least 2 minutes, might have been 4, before a small non audible warning came up, and then only after another 30 seconds or so before it nagged me audibly. Much better than the 10 seconds we get.... This is the single most annoying feature on this truck. I want to use it, and do, but my wife hates it. I'd love it if we could find a setting in Forscan even to just delay it to 60 seconds or so before the nag. 9 times out of 10 my hands are firmly on the wheel when being nagged. Texas roads are LONG and STRAIGHT.

I will say overall though, the Ford system is far superior in many other things, such as second phone while using carplay on one can still use bluetooth phone on the second, and Ford's street sign recognition automatically adjusts the cruise speed, where as the Kia requires you to touch the speed toggle for it to adjust to the speed limit, plus a lot of other things are better in the Ranger (and dag nabbit it should be for costing $15k more!).

Be warned as the AUS Raptor and the EU Raptor differed as well. I believe it's a LHD vs RHD thing. See if you can find that data from a EU Platinum or Wildtrak. I did not try the coding from a RHD vehicle on my truck as I realized it was different between the two.

Yeah that's my guess too. I've actually already been trying to find some LHD EU VINs to compare because I figured it'd be an issue. It's quite difficult, for some reason.
