Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 It is possible to adjust the mileage up, but not down. Forscan has the ability to do mileage correction. Fortunately you need to go up anyway so should be pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I think elmconfig will do it up but not down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 ELMconfig has the ability to change the mileage upwards but is MK2/MK2.5 only. The ELMconfig software is not suitible for the Focus MK3/MK3.5. FoCCCus also has the ability to change the mileage upwards but only if the mileage of the new instrument cluster is below 1000 Miles. However I made a few modifications to the program to remove this limitation. My modified version has the ability to change the mileage upwards withoput any limitations. However unfortunately the FoCCCus program was never further developed for the MK3.5. On a Focus MK3.5 Forscan is basically the only free solution to change the mileage upwards.

JW1982 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 As far as I am aware the mileage correction functionality is only present in the Windows version of the Forscan software. The mileage correction functionality requires the extended license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW1982 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 WI-FI OBD interfaces are designed to be used with Apple products (Ipad/Iphone). The Wi-Fi OBD interfaces were introduced because the bluetooth OBD interfaces did not work with Apple products. My experience is that WI-FI OBD interfaces do not go very well with Windows laptops. The connection is not very dependable and there is a serious risk of bricking the car. The mileage correction functionality is currently not available for all Ford models. If it not shown by the Forscan software the milage correction functionality may not be available for your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
