Over the past week I have been working on compiling a database of As-Built codes in order to dissect the programming of the cars.
At this point, I have over 75 cars as built data compiled along with the features that came with those cars.

I would appreciate any help that the members here can provide, either with what individual knowledge you have or with those who are better at pivoting data than I am.

Here it is below, I will update as I learn more.

2013-2014 As Built Database

It's been a while since I added an update.

I have successfully decompiled the follow:
PCSM - Power Steering Control Module
ABS - Antilock Brake System
APIM - Accessory Protocol Interface Module (Sync)
FDIM - Front Display Interface Module
PCM - PowerTrain Control Module

Partially Decompiled
RCM - Restraint Control Module
ICM - Instrument Cluster Module
BCMB - Body Control Module B
ACM - Audio Control Module (Successfully decompiled how presets are managed in both Navigation and non-Navigation Vehicles)

Still Need work:
GPSM - Global Positioning System Module
GEM - General Electronics Module (basically the BCM)

I’m getting to know the details of my Ford’s factory configuration and was wondering if there was a convenient way to check what options it came with. I’ve heard of the ford window sticker, and came across https://carfast.express/en/window_sticker/ford as one way to access it, but does it really help in figuring out the configuration, especially if you’re working with FORScan and As-Built spreadsheets for 2011–2014 models?

The Window Stickers are actually pretty decent. They do a good job of capturing any deviations from the standard options on the car.

From my understanding, the 2015+ mustangs communicate back to Motorcraft with some regularity. So:

2014 and below: Motorcraft As-Built Data represents the As-Built Data on the data the car left the production line
2015 and newer: Motorcraft As-Built Data represents the latest As-Built Data that has been loaded in the car.

This is good because it allows one to pair the options from factory (via the window sticker) with the Motorcraft As-Built Data.

It's easy to understand what size wheels the car has, the brakes package, etc.

What I find interesting, is that, I suspect that people are putting modifications on their cars and not modifying the as-built data as they should be. Differential Gear Ratio, Rim Size, Brake Package are all stored in the as-built data.

I never seen anyone talking about updating their as-built data based on any upgrade (especially rims, but big brake mods, and gears as well).

I have a few testers on board but would like to expand my reach.

I have added a tab called "Bounties" which I am putting out there to anyone with that Target Vehicle who has/is familiar with Forscan. I am looking for testers who would be willing to test out this as built data and provide back feedback on the bounties.

We have solidly identified:
Rear View Camera in Navigation Activation
Parking Assist Activation in the Gauge Cluster
Activating or Deactivating Sequential Tail Lights
Overriding the Door Sill to GT500 Red
Modifying the Language of the Cluster
Controlling the Passengers/Drivers Beltminders

I have also added a section under Tools which contains the ability to custom build your radio stations and load them via As-Built. both for Nav and Non-Nav.
Also, the ability to take your as built and explode it out into the radio stations.
