And oh my god where there some errors on the ecu, bcu, lcm, srs, abs, but these were mainly due to work that I knew had to be done in the past when it was the father in laws car. Now only error I have is drivers airbag wheel resistance too hig (so new clock spring ordered first ) .
And now I have once touch windows all round, 30% drl, follow me home lights, open all windows on key unlock (pity wont work on fob like my old focus did but still better than club spec) you can access everything on this software.
But please for the love of god every time you click a new module, hit backup fist and store it safe.
What a great piece of software and my bro in laws dad has a saloon 75 so can see if he wants any mods.
Next up, try and find a map to upload to make its a 160 ( saw in options xpower ps135 / ps160) but im guessing thats just a marker and not an actual map)

Yes that sounds like ZCS coding options, and changing those should be done very cautiously
There are no actual mapping files contained in the TOAF software, nor is it capable of downloading to the ECM.
The VN string of data is misleading if you are not aware of how it operates in relation to the rest of the car, and altering it will not result in any changes being made.
For instance if a car was to have 180 as the first three digits of the VN string, it would be seen to be a diesel 135, however with those same three digits being 008 ie 160PS, it would be seen as either a V6 ZT or an 1800T ZT, depending upon the GM data contained in the car, and not a 160PS diesel
It's a nice thought though
