I'm not certain they are euro option although I'm in the UK and have the driver assist pack which is what I have above with the cameras in the screen.

 

Copy. Thanks for the clarification. I don't think we have that option here.

 

Hi guys,

Sorry this is my first post on this forum and I know I should introduce myself first but I'm in a hurry... But I will

After using FoCCCus on a few Focuses Mk 3.5 at work to enable autolock by speed and the CAT1 alarm, I tried to do the same thing on two C-Maxes (same year, 2015). Alarm is not working the same way as it does on the Focus so I connected back to both C-Max using FoCCCus and this is what greeted me:



A second list of 243 settings appeared at the end of the first list. The first rows are all set to "not set" with 00 hexa values!
FoCCCus version is 0.8.6 so it should work. I don't know what to do... Should I edit the second list and write to the BCM?

The first C-Max throws a DTC with no visible signal or warning, but the second one says it's missing the hood latch switch so the BCM thinks the hood is opened, a warning message appears on the IPC every time you switch ignition to ON and the driver must accept a warning with the OK button, and a red "i" shines on the dashboard...

IIRC there's someone on this forum who knows the FoCCCus dev team so I'm hoping he could tell them... I'm leaving the country for Peru in two weeks, this issue has to be over by then one way or another because one of the two cars has to go for a maintenance at Ford, I guess they won't like this!

I'm investigating adding the alarm function to my Kuga (Aussie spec with no alarm) and one thing I have established is I require a new bonnet latch which incorporates the alarm switch. It's a normally closed switch (ie. it goes open circuit when the bonnet is released.) My current latch has the loom plug going to it, but it's plugged into a useless piece of moulded plastic (instead of the proper microswitch.)

The proper bonnet latch with the switch available here https://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_kuga_bonnet_latch_assy___f_5236243_c_1131.htm and also listed under the part number CV6Z-16700-B (the non alarm version is CV6Z-16700-A.)

 

Hi folks. New to the forum. I have searched but was not able to get a clear answer to me question so here goes. I will be doing a bi-xenon retrofit in my new 2016 Focus Titanium and I am in the US. I will be using the Focccus app to change my headlight type but am wondering a couple of things. Once this I have changed the settings, will the warning still work if I have an issue with the HID system down the road just as it would if I had factory HIDs. I will be using the highbeam harness to activate the highbeam shield in the projectors, will I get a buld fault if the highbeam S are no longer being utilized? And are there any other tips any of you have for this project I will be taking on?

 

I don't know if the Focccus app is being actively developed but apparently it hasn't been updated in a long time. There's no way for using Wifi OBD2 adapters with it. Apparently it only accepts connections via COM ports. I bought what is supposed to be a top notch obd2 device just to find out I can't use it with focccus. I have the ObdLink MX (wifi version).
I don't know if it's been tried before but does anyone know if messing with virtual com ports or something that forwards a virtual COM port to TCP will get me anywhere...

Thanks

 

It was just updated in March of this year.

The first page of this thread is with the OBDLink MX Bluetooth. Not sure what it would take to get the Wifi version working.

 

A friend of mine did my 2016 ST1. The global windows work brilliantly and the shift light delete is fantastic. I paid him 15 bucks which for him is pure profit but money well spent for me.

 

Just wanted to report that the latest version of this app does work with the 2016 Focus Titanium. I used it to successfully change the head lights to Alternate HID and to change the global windows setting. Don't know about the headlights yet as I haven't installed my HIDs yet but the global windows does work. This did take several attempts with error hang ups before it finally worked however.

 

Any chance this software will work on a cabled OBD device or WiFi?

the software only says "offline mode"

 

It connected with my OBDLink, but wouldn't fully work. I ended up getting it to work with my cheapo generic bluetooth adapter.

 

Considering the global open/close and shift light turned off, does this stuff have to be re-programmed if I take the car in for service?

 

ahhh ok... i have the Tactric OpenPort 2.0 aswell... works great with ForScan, but nothing in the Focccus app :/

ill try to make a viritual comport or something

 

How do I get the as built file from the Forscan? I saved it after it was downloaded from the car. I need it for the FOCCUS program since the Ford.xtlt.ru as built from Ford Exis doesn't recognize my VIN.

 

Use the FoCCCus program to read it directly from the car and then use the save button to save it to your computer somewhere.

 

No idea if somebody tried this before, but here is what I did right now: I broke the plastic steering limiter out, so I can use the full steering angle of the normal Focus. Some others did this too without any problems (as long you have enough wheel clearance, might/will not work with stock wheels!!). The only thing is that the last few degrees are not supported by the power steering, you have to turn while rolling or you need more strength to turn. I thought I could solve this by changing the point "steering c-factor" from "ST" to "normal", it´s 234 I believe. I know the factor itself has nothing to do with the maximum angle, instead it´s a factor used for calculating how many degrees the wheels turn with the turn of the steering wheel. The ST should have a bigger factor, it turns the wheels faster than the normal Focus.

Long story short: I did not feel any difference, not while driving and not at the maximum angle. The only significant difference was that the ST logo at startup changed to the Ford logo! I switched back immediately, made me a bit nervous :smile:

 

From what I can tell there a calibration that needs to be done for this. Below is taken from etis.

Steering Rack Limiter Configuration


This application should be used to configure the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) after fitting the steering rack limiter shims.

Thanks! Good to know. Maybe I can get this done.

 

So I am wondering if anyone could help. I flashed the BCM with the XML file from As-Built Editor Ford Focus III to change fog light function and global up/down. My mistake was that I thought I downloaded a good BCM XML file from my car before changing come to find out it was filled with garbage when looking at it later to re-flash. I used the ETIS generated one, and seems to be working fine after i un-bricked my car.

Was wondering if someone with similar build could send me their BCM XML file so i can verify?

My car is a 2012 ST2 with factory power moonroof.
VIN is 1FADP3L92DL196865 for specifics.

Not sure where i made the error, as it connected a read fine.

 

Did you ever get this taken care of? I am 2013 ST2 (no sun roof though) technically 2012 production date.

 

Has anyone figured out how to make the fogs come on at the same time as the headlights without having to press the button every time.

 

I have mine set to auto and the fogs and headlights come on together when it gets dark enough.

That's odd. I have mine set to auto and they always come on together. The only time I have to push the fog button is if I reflash the car to a different tune or I turn everything off.

Maybe it's something to do with the early 13 builds. Mine was built in 12. It's been that way since day one.

 

Most likely. Mine was built in Feb '14.

For the experienced in this field...

If you make these changes (global windows, etc), do they get reset if you go to the dealership for service and they update your software or anything like that? Also, can dealerships tell that you've done something and try to deny any service for these kinds of mods?

Thanks

 

I have not had mine reset by the dealer when taking it in. Technically they "could" find it and deny because of it but you need to give them reason to look at something like that. If you are that worried about being denied do to it just change it back before you bring it in. I know the dealer has done the global windows for some so I doubt they could deny over that one.

I am generally loathe to mislead/lie about anything, but in a case such as this I would just tell them someone there did it for me on request, and shrug. Let them try and give you warranty hassle then.

Withholding features like this, when they are there and available, is one of my biggest beefs with car manufacturers, so I consider a tiny bit of dishonesty in the service of using simple features like this "dishonest" in the same sense that an Intelligence Officer misleads an adversary for noble gains (think James Bond ).

Or lying to protect someone from something bad. Ford is ethically wrong to implement features like global windows, then only enable it for certain markets. So I don't see anything unethical with a little deception related to using these features.

Cool. Thanks for the input.
I just didn't know if it was something that sticks out like a sore thumb to them or not.

 

I have a 2016 Focus ST (I've had it for 5 days, so I'm a noob). Got a USB OBD cable from scantool.com. Using the focccus software, it was able to read my factory settings. I saved to a file, then changed the shift light setting to "Not Set" (the other options were "Without shift indication" and "Unknown"). Flashed it back to my car, then took it for a test drive. Shift light still there.

Should I have set it to "Without shift indication"?

Hi everybody. I have read all the thread and I have a doubt about the close/open windows mod. My Focus III 2016 named "S" witch is the level entry in my country don´t have one touch in the four windows, only in the driver´s one, and just to down the window.The answerd is: Can the mod works on this or is a essential condition have one touch in all the windows to make it works with Foccus.Basically different modules.
The car was built in april 2016 HW:F1ET-14F094-AB; App.FIET-14C026-AAH
Thanks.

 

It's required that the car have the one touch up/down window controls in order to use the global windows modification.

 

Hi, on the first page "OEM Cruise Control added to Ford Focus SE with Sync: use option #23 Cruise Control set to "with Cruise Control"" not possible on ST model ? (2013)

 

No one have try this?

 

Thanks guys. Much better than the OBDLink lol.

 

Ok. I got it to work with my laptop. Got global windows working. Still getting an error code for my headlights though with it set to alternate HID. I tried HID, and got what seemed to be a more severe error code saying to service now. Not sure what to do for the headlights.

Edit: I also noticed the BCM has a DTC U2101. What's that?

 

I haven't done the HID mod yet to any cars but once in a blue moon I'd get en error code. I don't remember what error code it was but once I cleared it, i never had a problem with it again. I've done over ten cars now with the global windows and fogs on with high beams.
