I would bet there is nothing in the harness. Considering they don't have heated seat connectors in the ST1/2 harness when the heated seat is an option in the US for ST3. Since the blind spot isn't even an option for the focus, I would almost put money on us not having the connectors.

ACTUALLY, there is a heated seat hookup in ST1/2's, I used it to hook up my aftermarket seat heaters. But I agree with there probably not being a hookup for blind spot monitors.

Would the wiring diagrams show where these would be?

For the heated seats? There is a thread that is all about aftermarket seat heaters that has the pin out for the seat heater in the plug under the seat.

jdub, are you in contact with the developer and/or trying to populate the list of options yourself? I figure we can cross-reference our cars' equipment/options with the as-built editor choices to determine what certain numbers (incl. "unknown") mean for the US market? (I have a 2013 Ti hatch with a 5 speed.)

For example, number 125 "Satellite radio receiver" is set to "05 - unknown". I have Sirius satellite radio. The current options are 00 not configured, 01 without digital radio, and 02 DAB radio; I believe DAB is a European system. So we can infer that 05 probably means Sirius.

I can make all the current options we have in our ST available to us when we view the parameters in the BCM. I just need a list of the options for every version of the ST1,2, and 3. 2013 and 2014. It would probably take me a 4-6 hours to edit the XML to include these options. It took me 4 or so hours to edit the xml to add all the parameter names. It was ALOT, then it took me another hour or so to hunt down all the small mistakes I made to make the xml readable as it should be...

No I know how to add seat heat, I already have it...I was refering to the heated mirrors subject that was being discussed on the previous page.

Maybe the ST2, but not the ST1 unless my car was a monday/friday car. I looked and I DO NOT have the plug on the body harness side for the heated seat elements to plug into. I looked into this a lot and the only thing I didn't do is pull my console to see if the plugs were there for the switches. But the harness side that is under the front part of the seat DOES NOT have the plug for heated seats. I would have to buy a body harness in order to add it in. Maybe the ST2 has the wiring there because of the different package that the ST2 comes with.

I was going to get the factory elements and the switches from a standard focus with heated seats so it fits in my console location and then get pigtail adapters to make my own harnesses and wire it up myself as a separate system. But I have other things right now I would like to do first.

I really wish I was wrong.

Oh gotcha. That would make sense, the ST2 and ST3 packages are a lot a like so they probably do have some extra things than an ST1.

Forgive me for not reading the thread but can you guys disable tpms with this?

Forgive me if this was already posted, or if it doesn't work for you, but I think it might.

I have a Titanium hatch with a 5-speed, so I believe some of this might possibly be relevant to some of you. I read through this thread a couple days ago, so my memory isn't totally fresh.

Hill Launch Assist
I recall reading that some of you have not had luck enabling Hill Launch Assist on your STs. I also had no luck the first time I tried it on my 5-speed Ti –*the ABS module threw a code saying "Not Programmed", and the ABS and AdvanceTrac lights came on. Another user on FocusFanatics showed me the missing step – after writing to the BCM on FoCCCus, go to the ABS tab and click "Initialize"; this resets the ABS module, which had thrown a code because its programming had changed. Doing so turns the warning lights off. I cleared the codes as usual and confirmed on the edge of my driveway that Hill Launch Assist is working.

YMMV. It's still possible something is different in the ST, but all the hardware is there so I don't see why not.

DRLs –*dimmed low beams
I have the standard halogen headlamps, so I imagine this might be relevant for anyone with an ST1 or ST2 who wants to enable DRLs on their stock headlamps. FoCCCus does not have the setting built in – you have to change the DRL line to "unknown" and change the value manually to "03". After doing so, the low beams come on at a reduced intensity any time the car is on, when the headlamps are off or when the parking lamps are on. DRLs!

I made a short (1.5 minute, not really detailed) demo video of this.

Again, apologies if I have duplicated any information here. I recall reading problems enabling Hill Launch Assist and also not much certainty on the DRL settings. All thanks go to user Whodatxevg at FF, who helped me figure both of these out (he has a 5-speed SE).

There are actually 2 methods for reading air in the tires..this software supports both I believe.

Hill launch is built into the ST in stock form. Ill mess with DRL tonight and if it works as you say it does ill edit the xml so we EVERYONE who tries can do the same. I have hids, will thats matter?

Not sure if HIDs make a difference. I don't personally know if HIDs are capable of running at a lowered intensity the same way that halogens are. And don't the ST3 HIDs have an LED accent strip that some of y'all were trying to get to work as DRLs?

 

[jdub1981]

Dobt know if you ever got the drl thing figured out but if not then read post #850 of this thread. Try that and see if it fixes your dimming problem.

Mine can run all the time but I have to flip a switch inorder to make it work.

Since we run off a relay the HIDs will still run at full power.
