Thanks for clearing this up for me. I might have to hook up with a computer whiz once the ELM gets here.
Thanks again!

Good luck with the elm. The one I bought is total garbage.

This is the one I use, I have done the global windows to my car and a buddy who works with me. I just have a Bluetooth adapter for my computer also if your computer isn't Bluetooth compatible.

Just need to specify that its android only because Apple requires an expensive license to create compatible products but really any device that has bluetooth and isnt an apple product is compatible.

If you have any problems I can try and do it remotely. I'd just have you download a program that let's me connect to your laptop. I've done it in the past for loading tunes on a tuner remotely. You can decline if you wish just throwing a offer out.

I have that same bluetooth ELM and I can't get the foCCCus app to recognize it. Forscan works flawlessly with it though. Any suggestions?

Look at the COM port configuration that forscan is using. That should be the one to work with Focccus. I think I reference in my video below.

Note: I would advise against flashing your ECU with a wireless connection. I've heard that losing connect can render the car in drivable until updated again by Ford tool. Seems like an unnecessary risk when a good USB ELM327 can be had for less than $25.

Got it. All my settings were correct, it just happened to finally work. If I didn't already have this ELM I would have bought a wired one.

It does not work like that. The ELM does not store anything, it is just a cable. The process is pretty simple though, you just plug in the cable to the laptop and to the car, open the FoCCCus program, read the BCM, change the 'Global Window' setting to 'With Global open/close' and write back to the BCM. If you need help after you get the cable, just message me.

Apologies everyone for my idiot post, but I have to ask since I'm getting ready to do this mod.

Is it really just those 4 simple steps? When I first started following this discussion, I read through all the posts about .vbf files and other things, and it sounded pretty involved. Is all that other stuff for some other purpose, not necessary for the GW mod?

If all I gotta do is install FoCCCus, connect to my MX, read BCM, change setting in FoCCCus, flash BCM, then I'll have it done this weekend.

watch a youtube video of how to do it if you a nervous about the process.

So do any of the elm327 USB work or just the specific ones in the links on page 1? Such as this

[jdub1981]

Those are just the proven working ones.

Its a good gadget to have regardless of whether or not you do the mod. Its a code reader first.

I have another obd 2 code reader like the innovas. I'm just wanting to get this to do the global windows.

Anyone know what the NAV-TV "programmer" is actually doing when they program through the OBD port? There backup cam solution looks pretty basic, hook up their "video adapter" (not sure what this actually is or does), and then hook up their programmer to the OBD port and let it program. They said then you can disconnect the programmer and throw in the glove box. Here is the manual for their solution:

Does anyone think it's possible to change whatever settings their "programmer" does in Focccus, and then build your own "video adapter" cable?

I cant say for sure what it is doing but I know that the 13-14 st is missing the pins for a camera hookup which apparently this adapter is used for. That would be what that part is for, so that a video input would direct connect into MFT.

As for the programmer it may be tricking the receiver into displaying video in motion or reprogramming the mft so that when the car goes into reverse the radio switches to that video input.

If you want to know what the programmer is actually doing you can use a y-adapter on the obd port. One port for the programmer and one for a obd reader. An obdlink MX can be setup to transmit to a pc all the write commands on the bus. You would just need to translate the raw commands to something human readble.

If you get one please please do a write up, many of us want a native camera setup

Any new development on unlocking Nav?

 

[jdub1981]

Not gonna happen atleast not without hacking the APIM using a propietary 1394 connector and software. Apparently it can be done but you have to program it using a vin# that has nav factory enabled.
