ELMCONFIG
ELMconfig is FREE software. Mostly used for modules configuration and activations, adaptations etc. If you want to activate cruise control or switch on Autolock at a certain speed – this software is for you.
You cannot read and erase error codes with this software. This software is used for configuring many ECU parameters. Very powerful software but a limited number of supported vehicles.
Suitable for:
* Focus II / C-Max / Kuga
* Mondeo IV / S-Max / Galaxy
Newest version directly from the developer can be downloaded here: http://civil.iffc.ru/ELMConfig/
Occasionally you may encounter some errors related to Windows registry. This has nothing to do with software but is about missing files in your computer.
Check out our blog on how to deal with several “missing file” errors while launching ELMconfig for more information.
FOCCCUS
FoCCCus is completely FREE. Similar functionality to ELMconfig but developed for Ford Focus III.
Newest version directly from the developer can be downloaded here: http://ford.xtlt.ru/FoCCCus/
You cannot read and erase error codes with this software. It does mostly same stuff as ELMconfig but has a different selection of vehicles. Do not use this software if you are not sure what you are doing.
