Hi Matt

I don't know from what year they started doing different reasons for access, meaning different codes.

Like you say i would expect ids to tell you its the wrong code.

I had a 09 connect that lost the pats information after a re flash and i used the calculator you are using [Its great for keys] to initialize the pcm it did the same as yours [If my memory is correct, a little bit dodgy]. When i got the cytoworks working and filled the full form out including reason for access it produced a longer code 5 to 6 digits and that worker OK.

I tried to match a cluster on a 08 focus using cytoworks [including reason for access] and it kept telling me the wrong code. So i had to get the code officially from ford using my etis membership. Let me know if you need to know how to do it.

All i am saying for £15 for a code it is worth a try. I would offer you access to cytoworks but as usual mine is not working at the moment.

You probably know this but most fords can have a secondhand pcm programmed.

Regards Ian
