ELMConfig PCM firmware read extremely slow

I feel pretty dumb, because cruise control works. I'm not sure at which point it was enabled, because it turns out I was testing it incorrectly the whole time.

On other vehicles I've driven, pressing the cruise control On button makes a sound or illuminates an indicator somewhere. Not so on my Focus - pressing the On switch seems to do absolutely nothing. It's only when you're at a suitable speed and press the Set+ button after pressing the On button that cruise control becomes active and the green lamp illuminates in the dashboard. 🤦‍♂️ I figured this out on the last day of my trip, so at least the drive back was more comfortable.

Regarding the OHP adapter I bought on Amazon.co.uk, I contacted the people at https://ohptools.com/ and they confirmed that the Amazon.co.uk seller is not affiliated with them and that the adapter I got is not an official OHP adapter. They kindly sent me a genuine OHP adapter, and I'm happy to report that it works fine with ELMConfig in the testing I did. I haven't tested PCM firmware reading or writing with it as there's been no need, but I'm optimistic from what I've seen so far.

I'm still at a loss as to why ELMConfig doesn't like the As Built configuration data downloaded from the internet, but I'm going to leave that issue be for now.

Thanks for the help, everyone! 🙂
