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

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.

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.

I'm not even sure FoCCCus works on the 3.5s does it?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aah, 

Something else to learn then, Any Pointers on where to go? Looking to get the Auto locking while driving and a general look about. Hopefully then get the sync 3 Retrofitted when the money pot is a bit more full.

Been looking at this for my 3.5 Zetec S, like you to get auto locking and some other stuff enabled.
