This is a sample of the layout, not a worksheet for your truck. The paid sheet uses the mods you pick and leaves a blank for each original value. You write any change yourself in FORScan.

Sample rows for a 2020 F-150. These are 2015-2020 addresses, not the 2021+ map.

Module	Address	Your original value	Target value	Notes
BCM	726-27-01	____________	xxxx xxx0 xxxx	Sample layout. 2015-2020 Bambi Mode.
ACM	727-01-01	____________	xxxx x0xx xxxx	Sample layout. 2015-2020 Fake Engine Noise.
BCM	726-41-02	____________	xxx0 xxxx xxxx	Sample layout. 2015-2020 Double Horn Honk Disable.

Sample rows only. A purchased worksheet is built from your year, trim, engine, drivetrain, and selected mods. Worksheet purchases are non-refundable except where required by law.

Startup Chime Disable is a lower-risk, convenience-oriented change for 2015–2020 Ford F-150 trucks, applied with FORScan over an OBD-II adapter. Disables the three "doo-doo-doo" startup chimes. It is fully reversible and typically takes about 5 minutes to write once your worksheet is in hand.

The change touches the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), and your F-Config worksheet lists all 1 as-built code row with the module, address, and target value. Each row includes a blank for your original value so you can back up before writing changes and roll back later. Silent startup, no chimes when starting vehicle.

How you'll apply Startup Chime Disable

The DIY process from start to finish — backup-first and, where possible, reversible.

Back up your originals first

Before changing anything, use FORScan to read and record the current value of each of the 1 row in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). Your worksheet leaves a blank beside every row for exactly this.

Write the worksheet values

Enter the 1 target row from your worksheet one at a time. Most owners finish Startup Chime Disable in about 5 minutes with a laptop and a FORScan-compatible OBD-II adapter.

Cycle the ignition and verify

Turn the key off and back on, then confirm the change behaves as expected before moving on. If anything looks off, stop and compare against the originals you recorded.

Roll back anytime

Because Startup Chime Disable is fully reversible, you can put every original value back later and return to stock whenever you want.
