Anyone with a mk4 here?
I flashed the DDM and RCM module, all went well but some functionality changed. Since i wasn't able to flash the PDM module due to some service interrupted error, the windows on the left behave differently than the ones on the right, when using Global close. The left ones close fast at first and on the last 5 to 10 cm, really slow.
I've also lost some selective unlocking features like the ability to unlock only the trunk while the doors remained locked (using the keyless entry feature). Now all doors unlock when trying to open the trunk.
I didn't mess with the anything else but somehow the steering seems to be affected, the level of electrical assistance seems lower, and requires some little extra force to steer.

I would really like to be able to have the update function.
I have a Fiesta 2018 1.0 (100) Ecoboost Automatic ST-Line X
Focus MK3.5 1.0 (125) Ecoboost Automatic St-Line
Focus MK4 1.5 Ecoblue Diesel (120) Manual Titanium

I am eager to keep the PCM and TCM softwares up to date on the Automatics, especially the MK3.5 Focus as it's about to go out of warranty

Using ELM 327 Modded

Work is in progress, support for Focus mk4 is limited at the moment; not all updated files are available from Ford server, some require paid subscription.
You should avoid messing with the PCM, as you may loose data, that only Ford IDS can reprogram. Best scenario, you get increased consumption.

Dear friend,
Do you have done a full recalibration of your doirs?
Before that you have to reset your module to default and then do a relearning of all desired and needed features.
With my mk3 i ve got similar issues after reflashing the ddm and pdm module

Best regards
Karsten
Changed on my 2011 Focus:
Hill Assistant, Auto High Beam, Sync 3 with Navigation, Traffic Sign recognition, Lane Keep Assist,
Lane Centering Aid, Rain Sensor, Ambient & Footwell Light, FL ST-IPC, BLIS, HSW from Focus FL.

I've downgraded back to original firmware and all is ok.
I still can't flash the PDM module.

I would like to test 2.4, working on vbf uploads to sync 3 to enable 3.4 installation with dab logos etc. Working on a focus mk3 pre facelift with els27, elm27, Ucds cable and ids access if needed.
Many thanks
