STUG38 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Downloaded both pieces of software, just wondering what peoples experiences of both are and what the difference is between the two. Also what is the latest version of Elmconfig? I have 0.2.10. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The latest version of ELMconfig is 0.2.13b. The Forscan software is primarily intended for diagnostic purposes. The ELMconfig software is primarily intended to change settings, configure modules, update the software of the PCM and HEC, etcetera. Elmconfig does have some diagnostic functions but these are in my opinion less advanced than other diagnostic software. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUG38 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks for your reply. Though I can't find anywhere to download 0.2.13b from. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 ELMconfig version 0.2.13b can be downloaded from the following link: http://civil.iffc.ru/ELMConfig/ELMConfig.zip This is a link to the website of Civil-zz. He is the developer of ELMconfig. older versions of ELMconfig and the Runtime packcan also be found on his website. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil21185 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm not even sure FoCCCus works on the 3.5s does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The FoCCCus program only works on some very early versions of the MK3.5. Later MK3.5 versions have different hardware versions that are not supported by the FoCCCus program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajones89 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Guessing it's a waiting game then :( Anything about for the 3.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The FoCCCus software is no longer developed any further. There will never be full support for the MK3.5. The FoCCCus software is originally developed for the Focus MK3. The original developer of the FoCCCus software stopped developing the software any further about 3 Years ago. After the MK3.5 was introduced the FoCCCus software turned out to be not fully functional on the MK3.5. This is because of the different hardware and software version numbers of the MK3.5. At that time the original developer of the program did not plan to modify the program to work with the MK3.5. However after the introduction of the MK3.5 some other people decided to make some changes to the FoCCCus program to add Focus MK3.5 support. These changes are included in the latest available FoCCCus version (which is not made by the original author). Unfortunately after a relative short time Ford changed the hardware and software version numbers again. These changes are never included in the FoCCCus program (and probably will never be included). At the moment the ForScan software with extended licence (which can be obtained for free) is the best software solution for the Focus MK3.5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW1982 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 ForScan is currently compatible with 95% of the Ford models build after approximately 1998 (even some earlier models are supported). The exact functionality however can differ between the different Ford models. The more advanced functionality is only included in the extended mode which requires the extended licence. The extended licence can be obtained for free after registration on the ForScan forum. The extended licence is 2 months valid and can easily be renewed after this period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajones89 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Can for scan be used to change as built data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yes, it can. However the Focus MK3/MK3.5 has very limited AS-BUILT data configuration. On older Ford models and most USA Ford models all functionality is configured completely by AS-BUILT data. On the Focus MK3/MK3.5 most of the functionality is configured by CCC (Central Car Configuration) data. The CCC data is stored in both the BCM (main file) and IPC (back-up file). Only a limited number of CANbus modules do have an (additional) AS-BUILT configuration. In extended mode the ForScan program can configure both the AS-BUILT data and CCC data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajones89 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Aah, Something else to learn then, Any Pointers on where to go?

Guide for extended mode - http://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=836 Been looking at this for my 3.5 Zetec S, like you to get auto locking and some other stuff enabled.
