New bronco owner its a badlands tech questions

So I just got this new Bronco yesterday and was to shut off the seat belt minder, tried several times according to the manual, no luck.

Second issue is the door lock. I has autolock once about a few MPH. I hate it, if I want my locks ....locked I would do it myself!

Any help out there?

Autolock IIRC should have a setting in the center screen...but that may not even be an option anymore.

Wasn't aware there was a way to turn off the seat belt minder, other than with Forscan. My owner's manual for ours says it's a non-configurable setting, which means Forscan would be the only way.

Might want to head to a Bronco-specific forum, like Bronco6G

Thanks,
I think I have arrived at the same conclusion. Forscan is the only option to get rid of that.

I also the auto stop/start and that too is a bother. I have the button to disable but you have to push each drive cycle. Maybe I can get rid of that too.

I went to the forum you suggested and downloaded what they have, hopefully able to make a couple changes but nothing for the autolock/unlock that I could find.

Its a start anyway.

I don't think even forscan can get rid of the ***. There are a couple plug-in disablers available for something like $50. I just hit the button out of habit now.
