Forscan changes were overwritten by vehicle

[gonesail]

So it's been a week since I finally was able to change 4 of my 2016 edge settings using Forscan. Simple things like disabling auto locks and seatbelt chimes. I get into the vehicle this morning and all of them are reset to the original values. I drive it on a daily basis. For no reason that I can understand this car continues to amaze (irritate) me. So my question is: is this normal?

I don't have an explanation for what you're experiencing but can confirm that none of the changes I've made using Forscan have reversed themselves.

I don’t think this is possible. Did the AsBuilt really change? Have you actually compared the hexadecimal values to confirm a change?

Good question. I used the BdyCM module and ran it from there. Then double click on the setting to get the enable or disable checkbox. Then wrote out the changes which were successful. The changes were confirmed and stayed that way. But the vehicle went back to the old settings. I am a bit nervous dealing with binary and hex values.

update: I found something I missed last time. There is a "check auto lock" 1 thru 5. I disabled them all. Now all is back to what I wanted. No double honk on exit of cabin with keys. Double click for panic alarm No auto lock and no seatbelt chime for driver and passenger. We will see how long this lasts.

Yup, same here. Every once in awhile my MKX will wait until I park it in the garage and then it puts the drivers seat all the forward and lowers the backrest all the way down onto the back seat. 

 

I open the door and it sits there smiling at me. We have a good laugh about the tricks its learned and then I have to put the seat back where I can enter and start the car.

 

Once it did it while I was driving. We had a long talk about why it shouldn't do that, and its never done it since.

 

Ah, what fun modern cars can be. Can't wait until home robots become common. 😁
