iNath Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 iNath, did you manually modify the xml file as if you did and you could provide the decryption details then I would happily make a program regenerate the contents of the file. Got that all sorted now, thanks for the offer ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberes Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Pfff, Ford and their helping hands once a car is sold and paid for .... zero, nada, ... I am happy I got my cruise control as an option on my Econetic. It's alot more accurate to maintain speed than my own foot. Consumption with cruisecontrol is always much better than trying to the same with my foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rojariggs Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Do the brake/clutch switches work OK with your cruise install Nath? They should knock the cruise off if you press the brake or clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Do the brake/clutch switches work OK with your cruise install Nath? They should knock the cruise off if you press the brake or clutch. Yup, clutch or brakes switches it straight off then can use resume button to go back to original speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dLockers Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Don't you just love Ford being so tight and not offering it as an optional extra in the first place! Don't you love some little boy who has added something to his car but refuses to share any instructions and info on how? Car clubs these days are an absolute waste of time.

Car clubs these days are an absolute waste of time. I don't think that there's any need for that kind of negativity. Nath has explained and made it clear that it is not a straightforward process that requires specialist knowledge and equipment. He has also shared the general principle of what he did and what needs to be done. To document any more than that would obviously be very time consuming and, with the best will in the world, not everybody has the spare time to put stuff like that together.

Mark M.K Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Dlockers, if you don't like car clubs, then simply leave. Nobody is forcing you to stay. You have already been warned about your past comments in this topic. Just because iNath don't want to help you (nor would i after what you have said) it don't mean you have the right to make abusive comments. So please, in future keep your abusive comments to yourself. If we get another report about a comment you have said, then futher action will be taken. Have a nice day, and please keep on topic :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rojariggs Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The fact is the guy is beating around the bush withholding something for no reason As both Nath and I said, it's not for no reason! Helping someone by adding comments or notes to a thread is a world away from writing full instructions for a complex process. If you look through this forum, Nath is one of the first to offer advice and to contribute to discussions. If it was a simple answer, I'm sure he would give you it. The fact that he hasn't given more detail simply shows that it's not straight forward either to do or to explain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's complex to explain then it is also going to be time-consuming to explain and, with the best will in the world, not everybody has the spare time available to spend documenting complex installations.

rojariggs Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's not difficult to post an XML conversion chart, is it now? I'm sure if he had an XML conversion chart ready to go he would post it (he might even have PM'd it to you if you hadn't been abusive to him...). Why won't you let this go?

Why won't you let this go? Because lately all of the Fiesta forums seem to have gone fully down hill in terms of their user base, everything is getting capitalist and unwilling.He is withholding it, as previously stated, for no other reason than self gratuity. If I discovered something, i would make it available for the community whom I'd appreciate it from in return. E.g. http://www.fiestamk6.com - when I had learned information, I made it available. I see your trying to protect him, I guess your in the 'clique' that seems to support this withholding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojariggs Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I see your trying to protect him, I guess your in the 'clique' that seems to support this withholding. I don't really know him let alone share a clique with him. What I do know is that I have seen plenty of examples of him helping and advising on this forum. I'm sure if he was in a position to help he would. Unfortunately, I think your tone and attitude in previous posts directed right at him have probably eroded any goodwill he may have had towards you. Essentially, you've cut off your nose to spite your face and are now in a dead end of your own making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with my personality, as he was refusing to provide any information VERY early on, and even refuses to assist or help or provide any guidance to any other users.

b1g_dav3 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Think it's a huge job to do more than anything, and then he probably doesn't want you messing up your car or something really, to be honest though it's probably not worth it unless you really know what you're doing.

Mark M.K Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm sure iNath is refusing to help you for a number of reasons. 1: Your abusive comments towards him 2: It's not easy to do or explain, as he has already said. 3: You need some serious hardware and software to do it 4: If he helped you, and what you did went wrong, you would be the first to complain. I know myself how long iNath has spent trying to work it out, so for him to help you free of charge is asking a bit much. He did post a topic in the members only area asking if he could help people/do the work on their car for a fee, however he would need insurance to cover any problems what could happen. I hope this explains why he wont help you, or any other members on this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcomma Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 You really are a REMOVED. or maybe nath doesn't want to respond to someone who called them a REMOVED (and yes i know the mods censored the real word dLockers used lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is abusive then so are your parents, as I'm sure they have said something when frustrated. 2. Yes it is. A high level explanation, i.e. which part of the XML is cruise control, is all I want/need to help others achieve this. 3. No you don't. You need a Ford techies half hour labour, and an XML file - which is freely available from the right sources. 4. No I wouldn't. I have been modifying cars and making my own mistakes for ages. The fact that he beat around the bush from the first time anyone asked him, proves how much of a joke he thinks this club is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
