Hi all,

I’ve got a 2008 Ford Focus Mk2.5 (UK model), 1.6L petrol, automatic transmission. I’m using FORScan with an OBD2 to USB cable that has an HS/MS switch, and I’ve successfully connected to several modules including GEM, DFDM, and PDM.

My car is not push-start—it uses a traditional key turn ignition. It does have powerfold mirrors, which work fine using the button inside the cabin, but only after the ignition is on.

What I’m trying to do:

• Enable automatic mirror fold/unfold when locking or unlocking the car with the key fob.

• Turn on headlights (or sidelights) when I press the unlock button on the fob.

So far, I haven’t found any such options in DFDM, PDM, or GEM modules. Has anyone successfully enabled these features on a Mk2.5 Focus, or do I need to look into an aftermarket module?

Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated. Cheers.

Can't be done using Forscan.  Need UCDS instead.

I thought auto folding power door mirrors also required a different door control module ?

Not sure.  I wasn't aware of that when I owned mine a decade ago.  It was on the to-do list for the whole time I owned the car but I never did find a cheap enough UCDS cable.

I had feeling auto opening closing the mirrors was doable in the past but needed more in-depth access that was at the time only available by paying for someone to do it. 
 

Don’t recall more details as it was a long time ago
