You can activate sport mode via Forscan. I did it.

I guess the difference makes the 12 inch vs. 8 inch cluster. All with 8 inch does not have the popup?

If you have two .abt (for scan)or .ab (ford as built) files I can convert them to csv for easy comparison. Just send me it in a pm.
Note that the vin is present in the abt files so if privacy is a concern it can be removed by editing the file in a text editor. It’s in a lot of places though. 760-01, 726-12, 726-13, 726-14, 733-02, 706-19, and maybe others.
do not care about VIN or privacy...thanks...but I do not have forscan myself so I cannot help. but others in this thread said they do not have the option either, and they seem fond into forscan

I have 12" cluster and no pop up. I do not have forscan. and sport mode should be no different than the other 10 modes I have?

On start-up

Looking through all the F150, Maverick, and Bronco Forscan threads, there is no Forscan setting to change default drive mode on startup so there's likely none for the Ranger. It is a very popular topic and discussed ad nauseum.
this just saddens me :(

Do you have the big screen? That’s not standard on the Wildtrak. Are you the one who retrofitted it? Maybe that’s the reason. So far, everyone who has the 12-inch cluster as standard also gets the popup. Please don’t cause too much confusion šŸ˜‰

I am the one :) but I have a friend with platinum that has 12" by default and he also does not have the popup

In my case, I have a Raptor 3.0 V6 (December 2022) of German origin, bought in France from an individual and I live in Portugal.
I have never had this pop up although the instructions in my sync4 indicate it.

so here is third confirmation 8 or 12 inch does not matter. there is something wrong with our EU rangers that do not have this feature activated, despite the manual says differently (except for germany as sequoia does not have in his manual)

Australian RR here and I've never seen the mode pop-up.

Though to be honest, I find the modes generally pretty stupid. Sometimes Sport can be a bit of fun if I'm being lazy but I find using the flappy paddles in manual mode to be the best option.
In fact I now use manual mode exclusively when I am off-road as leaving the tranny in auto allows the transmission to free-wheel when going down hill over erosion berms - letting the car pick up too much speed before it again slams into gear and sends you through the windscreen. It does this regardless of drive mode.

Hi from New Zealand! I'm just getting into the whole Forscan thing, running it from a MacBook Air, using Crossover to emulate Windows and it works perfectly.

So far, I've managed to get the following working, with the help of the awesome spreadsheets available. (Thanks to all contributors.)
- Tow / Haul mode for my Next Gen Ranger Raptor.
- TPMS - Tire Temperature Display
- Power Delivery
- Turbo Boost Gauge
- Lane Keep Assist - Now off by default
- Seatbelt Reminders removed
- Trail Turn Assist

I've not yet figured out how to Enable Camera at Speed. The Asbuilt options don't seem to work for me.

Auto Lock Menu Control also doesn't appear to work for me. It shows up under Settings > Vehicle > Locks, but is greyed out and not selectable. I've tried using both the Asbuilt and non-as built options. Has anybody encountered the same symptoms and figured out how to get this feature to work?

Thanks in advance.

I have the auto-lock working (automatically locks once you hit ~10km/hr) if that is what you are referring to.

This was the first ForScan modification I made and it was before the Ranger spreadsheet so I probably used the F150 spreadsheet.

As it was my first mod, I didn't really know what I was doing so I took this screen shot after the changes - I don't know what module this was in but I hope it helps.

Oh, and the other things changed here were not successful.

Thank you. Yes, I had tried enabling the Auto Lock Control Function, as in your screenshot, but it still remains greyed out and unselectable in the menu. Perhaps it's a New Zealand thing?

Any other Kiwis got it working?

It must be enabled also in BCM (or BdyCM) "auto lock"

Thanks @Raptortugal and @CrustyNoodle! That last clue worked perfectly. Needed to enable Auto Lock Vehicle in the BdyCM non-Asbuilt menu.

I had tried the same setting in the Asbuilt menu yesterday, but might have confused the whole thing, since I'd also enabled something similar in the IPC menu, resulting in none of it working.

@craigc, Raptortugal's comment might need adding to the spreadsheet, unless I've missed it somewhere else.

Thanks everybody for your help! My doors now lock once I hit about 25 kilometres per hour.

Hi everybody,
I want to know if somebody with the small cluster screen and the 6 speeds AT successfully activated the driving modes ?!
