Here’s the little thing I made up when experimenting with what it would take to keep the system happy. Low tech but works great.

Maybe... Ford steering assist device. $19.99Haha are we going to start seeing these for sale on Amazon?
This is pretty great! It is a little annoying how much the system will ping you. It has basically trained me to change how I drive and ensure I always have pressure on one side of the wheel. Still not ideal though because I feel it's less "safe", as it has me not driving with equal grip/pressure on the wheel like I usually do.

Is there a way to turn it off?
No, that's the whole reason people have come up with these workarounds. I'm hopeful someone will be able to find a way with FORScan to extend the time between it checking on your or just disabling it all together, but there's nothing available yet that I know of.Is there a way to turn it off?
I'm surprised they don't have a setting to just shut off the driver assist altogether. I hope they update that before I get my rig.... super annoying to modify your driving habits due to this... takes away from the experienceNo, that's the whole reason people have come up with these workarounds.

Oh, yeah you can absolutely disable all the driver assist features like adaptive cruise, lane centering, etc. I thought you were asking if they had an option to disable the requirement to keep your hands on the wheel.I'm surprised they don't have a setting to just shut off the driver assist altogether.

Edit: Just googled it - you can turn this off in your settings
Yes you are correct. I saw another moron doing this on a two lane road in a snowstorm! With oncoming traffic. Fortunately nature has a way of getting rid of these idiots… just don’t take mom and her kids with you.Am I the only one that gets nervous at how casual he's being trusting the Co Pilot to pass a semi and a concrete barrier at 78 MPH? I don't trust any machine/sensor 100% in that specific scenario...anything can fail and there's a number of ways something can spoof the sensors...and the potential accident at that speed would be no joke...
Haha I thought the same thing. The 78mph pass really had me nervous.Am I the only one that gets nervous at how casual he's being trusting the Co Pilot to pass a semi and a concrete barrier at 78 MPH?

I am one who would always want to keep my hands on the wheel just in case but I would prefer a loose/relaxed grip. They need to make it so that people can use the lane centering with just resting their hands on the wheel at the ready. Then this sort of hack would be much less appealing.There is definitely a calibration issue with the required pressure / input on the steering wheel with the LKA..
