Felicia24 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I guess i'm using whatever software came with my Laptop, I have an Asus Eee pc, will toshiba software work on this? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanH Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I think you need to add the switch as per P1 of this guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 No switch? Never thought of that but it should still connect. The Toshiba software should work on most PCs and I got it from The Bay. Check you COM port number too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Also did you reconfigure with elmconfig ? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRushton Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have found a suppler that will do the modded ELMs and send them out for £25 including postage to the UK only if anyones interested ;) Also Does anyone know how to change the speed at which the auto lock activates as I cant change mine and get this error message Who is the supplier? I would prob get one at that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RShadow Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hey guys Great work on all this its really impressive. Are you able to Program The SRM module (bluetooth) rather do it using the cable than pay £87 to FORD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imblue8 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Thank you OP for this guide, it has worked out for me perfectly! I have also modified my ELM327 and wired up everything as per the wiring diagram and customised the housing to also incorporate the 3way toggle switch (no loose wires!) Can't wait to see how this all evolves in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to Program The SRM module (bluetooth) rather do it using the cable than pay £87 to FORD What do you want to program in the bluetooth module? If you have the bluetooth module the only thing you can do it update the firmware to the latest version that supports BT audio (streaming). Is that what you want?

BrendanRS Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 That just provides stability updates. The streaming needs to be installed separately but I'm unsure how to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuno8210 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 That just provides stability updates. The streaming needs to be installed separately but I'm unsure how to do this. When you update to latest version you will get BT Audio also when you press the CD/USB button on your radio. My 2008 Focus didn't have that option before update and it has it now! Now I have CD/USB/BT Audio/Line-iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2008 Focus didn't have that option before update and it has it now! Now I have CD/USB/BT Audio/Line-iPod. Can I ask what module version you updated and how you did this? I have an early '08 Mk2.5 and have the original module that did not support BT streaming or audio by USB - I then purchased a USB compatible module but this doen't work very well with my Voice Control.... I suspect the loom / pin layout differs from the 09 focus. Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the loom / pin layout differs from the 09 focus. Stu My car is a late 2008 model. It has bluetooth and voice control. And in the centre console it has USB and line in. I only had to download the files from Ford (links above in other member post) and put the files in a usb pen drive. Follow the instructions the the radio will show the information "updating". Wait for about 20 minutes and you will have a updated bluetooth firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use the switch to work between two different levels of CAN...ms can is one switch, hs can is the other...you can see which level of can or switch position as you look at the ELMConfig software. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
