Ford Kuga MK3 MY2021 As-Built Spreadsheet

[lskg]

Hi all,
as always many thanks to FORScan guys for their amazing work.

I want share experience with my car and here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing you can find my personal spreadsheet (feel free to use at your own risk).
I emphasize that the changes work for the specific configuration of my car, reported in the spreadsheet.

Relevant, for me, is the activation of Auto High Beam, the useful setting of the front fog lights and the control of the outage of front turn signal (i've replaced the standard bulb with led buld not fully compatible with CAN bus).
The only problem is with "DRL include park lamps" parameter; when enabled, DRL, instead full power, is dimmed with the knob in OFF position or with the knob in AUTO position during daylight.
I haven't found a solution yet.

Work in progress; if someone wants to report other working parameters I can try them and report them in the sheet.

Regards.

Added a couple more things in the spreadsheet:

1- Climate Voice Commands (only configured Climate on SYNC 3 in the beginning, but no voice control).

2- Basic Alarm system: here things ar very interesting; if the vehicle is in lock mode and any of the doors are opened "without authorization", vehicle horn immediately start to scream and turn signal start to flash.
If the open one is the driver door (Perimeter Alarm Chime=Enable Driver), you have a chime from IPC for some seconds first (you have the time to disable lock) and then vehicle horn start to scream and turn signal start to flash.
The more interesting thing is if you have TCU module (SYNC Connect, modem,ecc.) and FordPass app connected to the vehicle, you obtain a push notification in app when the alarm is triggered.

3- Corrected the line "Using Front Fog with turn signal" considering that already set in original As-Built and renamed friendly name "Anti-theft" in "Alarm system".

Added a mod in the spreadsheet:

Enabled in IPC all vehicle settings related to driver assistance pack, wipers, mirrors, doors, illumination, etc...
I already had all this settings in APIM, managed by SYNC 3 screen (Driver assistance menu and Vehicle menu), but now in IPC too!
Many thanks to @swkhza for contribution!

Regards.

Added two new mod in the spreadsheet:

Enabled in IPC the settings for Perimeter Alarm (thanks to @swkhza for contribution!)
Enabled in IPC the settings for Auto High Beam

Both require "Settings Menu location"="Cluster" mod in IPC.

Added new mods in the spreadsheet:

Park lamps as DRL:
I have "DRL include park lamps=Enable"; this works, but dim my DRL with the knob in OFF position.
Added four mods to enable full bright DRL with the knob in ANY position; YES, with headlights ON too!
And this override the dimming problem with "DRL include park lamps=Enable"!
Maybe only valid in vehicle without adaptive headlights; vehicle with adaptive headlights seems to not have the dimming problem with "DRL include park lamps=Enable".

Added new mod in the spreadsheet:

Rear camera can always stay ON at any speed while driving forward:
I have installed the "On-Demand Rear View Camera" mod (thanks to A-TEAM) in Sync3 and than i have the button to activate rear camera while driving forward.
But by default my car stop the video stream at 15Km/h.
With this mod in IPMB module the 15Km/h limit is disabled and now my rear camera can always stay ON (with use of "On-Demand Rear View Camera" mod button) at any speed while driving forward!!!

Regards.

Thanks for this! There's a couple more options that I've enabled on my 2021 Kuga Vignale PHEV, but I don't have the full description to hand right now:

Heated steering wheel control function on Sync3 screen - APIM module
Tilt mirror on reverse - APIM (requires memory function on vehicle apparently, so Vignale-specific)

I might try the "Climate Domain" option and see what that looks like

Thanks again!!

Hi CliveL,
i haven't heated steering wheel and memory function, so i can't test it.
If you find more general function/option don't esitate to post.

Thanks anyway for the contribution.

Good to see others with the Kuga on here.

I have a UK Spec 2021.25 ST Line X 190 Auto AWD - With Tech Pack (Adaptive LED Headlights) / HUD.

Been a new user of Forscan but have used VCDS previously on some VAG cars - I have stuck to the plain text mods so far and have;

Enabled;

• Auto Lock at speed;

• Traffic Sign Recognition (using the camera)

• Changed the splash Screen

• Honk on Double Lock

• Voice Climate Control

• Added Climate controls to Sync, incl Heated Seats and Steering Wheel Icon.

I have not got adaptive cruise but hope to be able to activate Intelligent Speed Assist - I have using the plain text enabled all that I can see relevant, shows up on the Sync3 Screen under "Cruise" and gives options of 'Normal' or 'intelligent' but wont allow to change between them.

*ISA is listed as standard on ALL Kuga's in the UK, it is supposed to, as I understand use the traffic sign information to drop the speed of the cruise control to the prevailing limit, within a tolerance that the user sets in the Sync Screen.

Hello I want to activate the rear view camera for 2020 ecosport. Can you help.

[MoJo88]

@linnoge

Perhaps you should start your own thread for your request and see if people can help you there.

@Iskg

Thanks for taking the time to research, compile and share.

@linnoge
I can only confirm MoJo88's answer.
Here things are very specific to the model, generation and configuration of the car, so...

I am very pleased MoJo88; I learned a lot from just reading this forum, so it seems fair to share my experiences.

I added a couple more things in the sheet, Climate voice commands and Anti-theft.
I edited the OP with a minimum of explanations.

Regards.

TRY THIS
ipc 720-02-02 X*** *** 0->4 enbale Perimeter Alarm menu

Hi swkhza,
thanks, i'll give it a try.
Is this code for full digital IPC, like mine?

P.S. Did you write me an email to have the permission to edit the sheet? I accidentally deleted the email and couldn't reply.

TRY THIS
ipc 720-02-02 X*** *** 0->4 enbale Perimeter Alarm menu

Hi swkhza,
I tried it and it doesn't work.
The setting is the same as "Perimeter Alarm Guard Control"=Enabled in IPC plain text configuration.
It doens't work with my full digital IPC.

Thanks anyway.
