yeah the 1st time I updated it and it failed half way through.
to say I !Removed! myself is a understatement.
all the clocks were not working but you can still start the car.

just ran the update again and it was fine

I understand what you say!! and that's my fear!!
But in the end everything was working, right?

Hello, please forgive my broken English.
I need your help and guidance.
I'm from China,my Focus mk2.5 from 2009,rom 0303, I want update to 0509 by ELMconfig .
The ELM327 is set to 38400 bit,But can not upgrade successfully.
May I ask how you did it, help me!

Thank you very much.

I have succesfully upgraded the MK2.5 instrument cluster outside of the car before it was programmed into my MK2.

I have connected a 12 volt power source to the instrument cluster and the ELM327 interface and connected the HS-CAN bus wiring between the instrument cluster ande the ELM327 interface.

After this i have disabled the screen saver, internet connection and anti virus/firewall software. The upgrade procedure worked without any problems.


I have read that European and Asian Focus MK2.5 instrument clusters are made by different manufacturers. Maybe the European firmware isn't compatible with your instrument cluster.

Well, in this case my cluster maybe isn't compatible because is European (Portugal but make in Germany)!!!
Where can i see if my cluster is compatible?
Tks.

I will do dude.

Main thing I want to do is enable cruise control and ensure it doesn't cause any havoc - I don't have the other parts to do the rest of the mod yet, but enabling it is one hurdle (assuming it isn't one of the cars which has to go to ford, only for them to smile and say no.)

Will keep you posted.
