I know and understand that there is a world of devices that exist beyond my personal control that gather data about me. I know about passive monitoring and how most major cities and even big box retailers are basically panopticons with their relentless and pervasive surveillance. I can choose to...
Maybe the folks at ForScan can help with this. I'm speculating here, but I'm curious if there might be an issue caused by an OTA update. My truck isn't likely to get those due to the comms being physically disabled.
It's generic advice, but I'm guessing you have the newest firmware on the...
You're mostly correct in that the average person only implicitly and not directly trusts companies due to their own disinterest or ignorance.
I generally agree with your statements about how the tech side of businesses fail due to negligent top-down initiatives and directives. I've witnessed...
Thank you for posting this. I had already read it but I think its a good idea for others to do the same. Consumers being more informed at least about what a company says they're going to do helps with purchase decisions. Vague, open-ended boilerplate contract language aside, another data point...
There it is. The true nature of what we're dealing with here. More absurd false assumptions and now some baseless ad hominem attacks included. I'm pleased that we have come to this point in the conversation. It shines a light on the hateful nastiness of your non-position.
That's quite a list of...
It seems that perhaps you didn't fully comprehend much of what I said in my response.
I gave counter examples to your snarky insincere 'gotcha' questions about nav, computer, phone, and internet usage. I then explained a basic premise for someone not wanting to widely accept nearly all...
Once again, I'm encountering some erroneous assumptions here.
There are quite a few mitigations for privacy and data sharing concerns.
A few basic examples would be: using something like OSM for nav if routes can't be pre-planned, having purposefully limited mobile devices running something...
No, I don't use google, waze, apple, etc.
You say you understand what it is I'm trying to do and possibly why, but then you come at me with some false assumption about what services I use and then exemplify the reductive nihilism I previously mentioned. What is it, exactly, that you're...
Interesting thread. Have previously owned multiple rangers from '19-'23 models. Along with tint and bed liner, one of the first things after purchase has been to disconnect TCU completely. This was quite easy in previous models, but it seems to be more difficult in the '24.
Initial...
Correct. After changing the previously mentioned codes, there are no warnings, dialogs, or lights concerning seatbelt status on my cluster/info screen.
You could play around with those 4 codes and see if you can get a more finely tuned result that fits your individual use case. Obviously, that...
Has anyone here figured out how or maybe has leads to finding a way to remove all the sirius options from the sync display unit?
I have seen some indication elsewhere on the internet that this may be possible with ForScan. However, the details seem sparse and generally not specific to ranger...
Using ForScan (version 2.3.62) on a '24 Ranger XLT via OBDLink EX, I was able to set the following address codes on IPC module to remove the seatbelt notification and stop any seatbelt related chimes.
