Cruise Control Issues After Update on Ford Focus

Cruise control without function

I recently performed a diagnostic on my Ford Focus and updated the system. The diagnostic didn't show any errors, but since then, my retrofitted cruise control has stopped working. I tried to read the error again and it seems to be an issue with the body control module. Unfortunately, I can't see the specific error because my subscription expired last Monday. I'm hesitant to renew it if the update has damaged my cruise control. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any advice on how to fix this?

It's possible that the system update may have reset some settings or caused a compatibility issue with your retrofitted cruise control. You could try disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes to reset the system, then reconnect it and see if the cruise control works again. If this doesn't help, it might be necessary to have a professional mechanic look at it, especially if it involves the body control module. Please let us know how it goes and if you have any other questions.

How can it be that an update causes a compatibility issue with my retrofitted cruise control?? I only used the adpter for diagnosis and no diagnosis should damage anything in a car electronic! If I had known that this carly adapter can DAMAGE anything in my car by only using the diagnosis tool I would never have used it! The cruise control was installed in a specifically licenced garage 2h away from me and did cost 400€!! There are only a few mechanics in Germany who can do things like that! Who pays for the damage?

They told me that they cannot help me with my problem. It was a prefabricated email after I sent the full form with videos! Your service is unbelievably bad! Fortunately disconnecting the battery worked! If you hadn’t answered me here or disconnecting the battery hadn’t worked I’d have had to go to a mechanic and pay it myself! This was the last time I used your adapter or any abo offered by you! And I will definitely not recommend Carly to anyone and I will write a review on a well known review website!

Let our mechanics help you!
