Stoney871 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 If anyone can explain in dummy terms where it attaches to and whether a Sport model is capable of cruise control retrofitting I may consider that my next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi Clive, the way I did it was to remove the cowling, strip a bit of insulation off the two wires (brown and white) then wrapped the open end if the wires from the cruise buttons it's fine. Just check your gembboard main harness for the white and brown wires and it should be good to go. I have a test rig I set up, not sure if it's in one piece but your welcome to borrow it?

Stoney871 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 In theory if I connect up the cc wires then I should be able to use the button/switch self test mode inbuilt on the car (press and hold rear demister button when starting car). If I get beeps on all buttons then all good. Do I need elm config to activate the cc modes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Yeah Elm needs to enable it at a hecs and gem level I also used the button test and confirmed that they all worked.

JonathanAbud Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hello Friends! My car is the Focus, but Brazilian. On the first page, which tells you what is required for install the cruise control seen talking on GEM connector. "2 Check the GEM connector 103 -. Blue one with two rows of wires, located on the left next to fuses - if it has brown wire attached to pin 10 and white wire attached to pin 18. " This is my GEM connector, it has the necessary wires (I marked the ones I think are)? http://s30.postimg.org/gh3kiulo1/Fots_2 ... ostimg.orghttp://s7.postimg.org/mks4s3ykb/Fots_3.jpg Thank you!

jeebowhite Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 yep, that certainly looks right! Have you got the switches underneath the pedals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanAbud Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yes, my car has sensors on the pedals! I will try to activate the CC with Elmconfig and if it works buy buttons. I'm thinking these: http://pt.aliexpress.com/item/2013-new-car-speed-control-switch-cruise-control-system-kit-for-ford-focus-2-focus-2005/1741782161.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 you wont know it works until you have fitted the buttons to be honest! but those buttons should definately do the job! Remember you need a 500,000 kbps ELM cable so that you can write to the instrument cluster, any less and it will fail outright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanAbud Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I bought this scanner obd2: http://pt.aliexpress.com/item/2014-High-Quality-3-Years-Warranty-OBD-OBDII-Scanner-ELM-327-Car-Diagnostic-Scanner-ELM327-USB/560975266.html?productId=560975266 I'm hoping to get to start my work. Here in Brazil we are having trouble enabling CC in PCM because our cars are flex fuel. When they were just gasoline, we could enable us CC. If I get my car will be the first in the country that we know ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 that might not be the right speed, but also you need to add the switch and wire the high speed and medium speed can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housleynick Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi I have got my cruise control working by GEM and HEC but can't understand the Russian translation to get the PCM working. What effect does the PCM have on the cruise control and is it really needed. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 its definately needed. Theres about 3 or 4 steps to sort the gem board out. I remember posting on the russian forum and got the clarification but cant remember it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 How would I go about adding CC to a MK1.5(53) Ghia TDCI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 You would probably need to swap steering wheel, gem board and have Ford involved. That I'd presuming the wires and switches are there. Unfortunately there is less you can do on the mk1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Shame as having a 'Ghia' which are loaded with everything, but I would of though it would only be adding a Swich to control the cruise control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 To be honest it could be that simple, but you need to check you have the wiring, switches on pedals and you will need the additional stalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 And how would one find out if he has the correct wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Easiest way is to find a wiring diagram and look at cruise control to identify it's colours. If you have the right wires, your good to get started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmecheez Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Anyone know of a company would would do this work for me? (ideally in Yorkshire!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 to be honest you could pay most companies a small fortune to install it aftermarket for you! but to be honest, unless you have over £300 to get it done, its really not normally worth it. However, in the situation of the MK1.5 it is the best answer. After a bit of research, I can say that Ford used to make a servo / linkage kit, and after the MK1.5 they integrated it into the PCM, because the cars where old and still are (by modern car standards) they stopped making them altogether. so if you have a MK1 / 1.5 Focus, you wont be able to retrofit yourself, and you would need to go aftermarket. Something like this might possibly work? http://www.thecruisecontrolstore.com/2000-2007-ford-focus-complete-rostra-cruise-control-kit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
du__f Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Good evening gentlemen, regards from Brazil. I have a Focus Duratec 2.0L 145hp Gasoline 2009, I installed the wheel with cruise control buttons, my car has sensors on the pedals, but the CC are not activated. I tried with FORD IDS, unsuccessful. I bought this ELM interface : http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-Diagnostic-OBD2-Modified-Switch-Forscan-Elmconfig-Ford-Mazda-CAN-/281402876340?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item4184eb21b4 I can activate it? The process is easy and safe? THX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 you should be able to do it with IDS, depending on if your clicking the right places...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
