I use an ELM for DTC's but only program modules with my VCM2, expensive but not as expensive as bricking a module.

I got mine from Amazon but the US version and it actually worked out a bit cheaper but I've just checked and it's currently unavailable. Here's the same from Amazon UK.

Also available from Gendan who are the UK distributor of it. I got mine from them.

It depends which part of the car you're modifying. It's fine to do some things but you don't really want to be changing settings in the BCM with a cheap crappy ELM, if the connections drops for any reason you could brick your car.

Point taken

On the Foccus i cant seem to access the drop down to select Kuga it only has focus mk3 ???

 

[smartguy69]

It was on line 1 on mine in BCM, CENTRAL CONFIGURATION. I think there was about 6 options.

Focccus version 8.6 - Second on from the bottom.

And can foccus disable TPMS?

And can foccus disable TPMS?

Line 101. Never tried altering this.

Note that I have amended my previous post to central config from bcm.

 

[smartguy69]

Make sure you have unzipped the focccues zip file into a folder you have created on your desktop and don't run the programme from the zip file. It needs to be extracted first.

 

[kuga1977]

Does it have TPMS option in there

 

[kuga1977]

Sorry just seen that 101 line

 

[kuga1977]

Also does focus have power tailgate option

I've never changed mine to Kuga anytime I've used it, not sure about you @smartguy69

Yes I changed mine to Kuga.

 

[andspenka]

Yes I changed mine to Kuga.

I haven't bothered, since a Kuga is just a Focus with high heels anyway.

High heels with a nicer body.....

I would have used the focus option but saw Kuga was there the second time I tried accessing it.

And can foccus disable TPMS?

Yes, I enabled it on mine (no TPMS from the factory) and it started working with errors as there were no in tyre sensors. I contemplated fitting them but decided to go with an aftermarket kit. So I then disabled it and the warnings vanished.
