Dee_82 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 if I remember correctly ELMConfig relies on it knowing the hardware and software version of your PCM, I think there was some issues way back because the chap is Russian and whilst the PCMs are similar they are not the same, be interesting to see if yours is any different to ours.. Id be extremely cautious of downloading anything and "just flashing" it. Guess work is not a ROMs best friend! Tom, I had to flash on mine, everything else worked but until I did the PCM it refused to actually function, lights work work but that was all, in fact I think it even generated an error code whenever I tried to use it, that was from an older version of elmconfig tho so it might have been fixed now. I think the biggest issue with flashing anything via OBD is the device we use, just because it supports instruction sets X and Y, it mean it will support set Z, that could be something as simple as the device telling the PCM to reboot, which it fails to do and thus leaves in it a damaged state. Before you start flashing random files again, id suggest trying a different elm 327 device first, ideally one that you know works. Not all ELM327 devices are the same, even if they look it!

bkmadh Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've been following this for a while, I have the modified elm cable, software , relevant wires and my steering wheel is the 4spoke Just without the buttons, Would I be able to purchase the buttons on Ali express and be able to fit it, or would I require a new wheel, or would it be easier to just get the modified radio stalk?

dezwez Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 better on the 4 spoke wheel that's what i went for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkmadh Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 My car already has the 4 spoke wheel but I'm wondering if I bought these if I could fit them, Also is the cover replaceable where the horn buttons are ?

wilto Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah if I'd have had a four spoke wheel, that's what I would have gone for, but didn't so that's why I went for the radio stalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkmadh Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 So I've fitted the buttons got all the wires and the rest, the buttons make a noise on demister test, I've followed the guides and it just doesn't seem to work, no cc light on dash either "there isn't one on ignition" On the pcm tab it wouldn't let me click "read configuration files only" box before I read the files Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 i had to read the PCM, then write it back after making changes. I know others seems to have been able to get it without doing that but it didn't work for me. remember that you need to push ON, then set the speed with the + button, I found it didn't work until you hit 30MPH, after that you could set it to what ever you like.

TomsFocus Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 It should work from 20mph on the flat. BUT will cut if you get to an incline as it dips below 20 before the ECU reacts. I often use it to keep 21 over long stretches of speedbumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now select the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). On the Information Page select “Read” in order to determine the module type (ESU-131 in my case). Click on “Procedures” then “Page 2” Select the PCM type as identified on the information page from the drop-down menu. Then select “Read firmware from PCM to BIN-file” Can you try it with another ELM327 cable? Dodgy cables often turn out to be the root cause of problems with enabling cruise control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because reading works doesn't mean writing will. Dodgy cables are a big problem, where did you get yours from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkmadh Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi all thanks for the replies, I'm writing from memory as I last attempted this yesterday evening, on elm config all seemed to work, I did the GEM and HEC first and they was checked afterwards, I then did the PCM when I read it the block size couldn't be changed to any higher than 128 and the "read calibration files only" box was grey so couldn't be checked, anyhow it read the PCM fine took 17 minutes at around 3500 blocks and wrote back at 4000 blocks in 5 minutes, the "integrated speed control" didn't change though after writing I clicked yes to everything as that what's the guide I followed said, though I read earlier about clicking "no" relating to the empty vid block Im going to retry early tomorrow when I'm not at work This is the cable I bought as the previous one from a different seller wouldn't read the hs cam https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/281774889284 Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 So how can I cruise at 20 and you guys can't until 30? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkmadh Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 So I finally got my cruise control working, refollowed the steps just didn't read or write the PCM, mine works from around 26/27mph, can turn off if I set it at 26 though Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrif74 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hello Is anyone knows is this cruise control possible to focus st 2.5? I have st 2006 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnySmith Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 On 14/11/2015 at 4:00 PM, Lenny said: ok well in this case there's two obstacles; One is modified ELM327 cables, Some are not wired correctly and don't work correctly. I have a modified ELM327 it's a non Chinese replica, has been modified by a very good friend on here and I have loaned it to many members on here including Dan P I ship it out via tracked mail along with a self addressed UK return envelope. I charge a total of 27 pounds via PayPal 7 covers P&P to you. 20 stays in PayPal until item is returned to me via tracked mail, When recieved I refund your 20 pounds My modified ELM327 is tried and tested, 👌 Your guranteed it will do the job. Only obstacle left is for you to; take your time, Install elmconfig software, Connect to car, Copy screen shots via "snipping tool" Tick appropriate box's Submit to Gem Job done. I'm not trying to persuade you in to using my elm327 or scam you of money, Just offering service as I do many times i also offer a Pioneer CD-MC20 self Calibration Mic. alternatively there may be someone available close to your location who has a functional modified ELM327 Either way will help achieve results. Hi all, First post on here but I’ve been reading and have since ordered the stalk to upgrade my 07 1.8 TDCi Focus to have CC, it has the 3 spoke steering wheel and I agree with Dan P in that the stalk seems a cleaner, simpler option. I’m just wondering Lenny if you still offer your ELM327 cable service as I’m conscious this post is a few years old now. I can’t seem to see the screen shots in the post either (asking to go and activate a photobucket account!?) Thanks in advance and any help would be greatly appreciated :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botus Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 this one is probably the best post on CC to keep alive this was a great write up but since photobucket screwed up not so useful https://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/30008-guide-fitting-cruise-control-focus-mk2-mk25-and-ford-c-max/?page=1 https://www.fordownersclub.com/tutorials/article/322-activating-cruise-control-focus-mk225-elmconfig/ the software is readily available you just can't find it using IE (use firefox and the files magically show up) http://civil.iffc.ru/ although just tied and they were there using IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisz Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi All, I just managed to buy my beauty, a nice 56 plate Focus, 1.6 Automatic. I see that the GEM number for the CC retrofit should ideally be like DX (where X is any letter). However, my GEM is 4M5T - 14A073 - BH. It is nothing like DX or CX... Shall it mean that I should say Good Bye to any of my plans to fit the factory CC? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
