    Hi Wilco,

    Hope you enjoyed the sun!

    Was you able to put together some screenshots of the UCDS clone?

    I wish I could have stayed a few weeks longer in the hot Greek sun but unfortunately I need to work to make that happen.


    When opening the Update Wizard function of the UCDS clone you get the following screen:

    UCDS.thumb.jpg.296bcb87732bf1a8ae24d6706ae0010a.jpg

    In this case there is a software update available for the HVAC (Climate Control) module.
     

    Note that my IPC (instrument cluster) module hardware/software is recognised by the UCDS software but the program can not determine whether there is an updated version of the software or not. This is because I installed a USA instrument cluster (fully converted to European spec.) which is officially not compatible with European vehicles.

    Also note that the PCM of my 1.0 ECOboost currently has software version CV61-14C04-ARG. This software version supports the additional electric coolant pump. The UCDS program suggests the CV61-14C04-AMF software which does not support the additional electric coolant pump. On 1.0 ECOboost vehicles that have the additional electric coolant pump installed after they left the factory the UCDS software may not suggest the correct software update.

     

    Open the Update Wizard function.

    After the Update Wizard function has been selected the status of the software files that are not present will be "Must Be Downloaded". When pressing the "Download From Internet" button the status will change to "Download Error". 

    To solve this go to the following website:

    Type the version number of the missing software into the text box and press the "Download File" button.

     

    UCDS3.thumb.jpg.37c0bbe2fa26684ba6f035797566ac5e.jpg

    Save the .zip file to "Downloads" folder within the "UCDS" folder.

    In my case this is for example:  C:\UCDS 12.7.1.4\Downloads.


    Repeat the download procedure for every software file you need that is missing.

     

    UCDS4.thumb.jpg.57af05db4e8eae52d5e0a70eb8991750.jpg

    Open the "Downloads" folder within the "UCDS" folder and extract all of the .zip files.

     

    UCDS5.thumb.jpg.ca02ffdbd56defab418fad05d5d5c78c.jpg

    Close and re-open the Update Wizard function and the status of the software files that were missing should be changed to "Ready".

    Now the software update can be started by pressing the "Start Update" button.
