California Is there a Sync 4 difference between models?

[jabrego]

I have Lariat 501A Powerboost. My Sync4 does not show FUEL ECONOMY or TRIP 1 window on the right side window.
Grabbed the photo below from another thread (Photo from user CBGRAY w/501A truck)and it appears to be a non hybrid truck. Is there a way to turn those FUEL ECONOMY and TRIP 1 ON? or is it only for non hybrid models?

Oddly enough, the non hybrid screens are not available for the powerboost. You can add them in forscan, but not in the trucks settings.

Did you 100% confirm that John? It may finally be what gets me to take the forscan plunge...

And we confirmed that you cannot display "This Trip" on the Sync screen, only fuel economy and trip1?

Ok John. Tell me how I can get this on my screen. Forscan easy to use?

Sonofa! Can trips show "This Trip"?

I have a Lariat 502A without the ProPower On Board Feature. I have six options on my “cards” section of the Sync 4 screen

• Trips (1 and 2 on one card)
• Fuel Economy
• Eco Behavior
• Navigation
• Audio Settings
• Zone Lighting

Yep!! This trip, trip 1 and trip 2.

Very easy! There is a screen favourites setting to change in the APIM module.

For ForScan, what OBD link are you using? Does it require a computer?

Yes, any windows laptop these days will do. I'm using this adapter with no issues.

That’s the link I’ve researched as well. Are there any programs or applications you have to download to the computer?

Just forscan itself, found at https://forscan.org/home.html. You can download it for free, but the only way the developers make money for all their work is if you buy a license. It's a one time fee, and it goes a long way to them. A lifetime license is only about $50.

Good to know. Thank you for the information!

John, I need to your help. I'm reluctant to press on anything since i don't know anything about forscan. I did not find "favourites setting" to change. Is it possible to guide us where specifically to find the "cards" we are looking for. Below you can see what i was able to find. Are these what i need to enable?

No, those are not the options. I will post a write-up when I get home this evening!
