Played with this a little tonight. Very cool!! Gotta get a little more families with it but it picked up my mods, even ones I forgot I did haha

 

You know what I find interesting is the data that Ford exports. Would not have realized this with the Hacker program.

I have my vin (2016 Lariat) and a buddies (2016 Platinum) plugged into Hacker.

Hacker shows my data through the 741 address (PDM module). Hacker shows my buddies data through the 737 address (RCM module).

Based on this I can't compare the PDM or DDM modules between these two vehicles.

Obviously the Platinum has more and or different modules than the Lariat. Based on that I have to assume that the Etis and Asbuilt downloadable data via Hacker is limited in size regardless if there is more data available.

I haven't done a save all on my buddies abt files via Forscan yet. When that is done, I will be able to do those comparisons.

Hacker led me to compare what I was able to download via the Ford Asbuilt website. And comparing the two vehicles via a spreadsheet that I pasted the data into, shows me those address stop points. Just doesn't make sense to me.

 

It should show all modules regardless of how many one vehicle has or not. Are you running latest version 1.1? (Settings page gear top right, files tab shows version). I think I fixed issue you mention in 1.1. Let me know.

 

Running 1.1

The DDM and the PDM do not show up under the Module Compare nor the Compare settings tabs, but do show up under Known Options and Module Names.

 

Pm me the VINs? I can debug issue. Oh forgot sometimes ford site data as built is incomplete.

 

Trying to use asbuilt hacker today. Grabbed my .abt files with forscan and have them in the directory spec'ed in the settings. For some reason, abh doesn't see the files. They should be named the same as the modules in abh yes?

 

The names of the abt's don't matter. it reads the all the files in the data directory in settings + "/<VIN#>" where <VIN#> is whatever VIN those abt files are for. It then uses the internal address "726" to determine where to put them in the program.
So make sure the files are in the VIN directory...it should work that way.

There is a known issue above where ford does not provide all the modules on internet, and program does not pick those modules up fresh from the abt files. Not your issues, but i will fix that.

 

First of all, thanks for taking the time to write this software! I do have the abt files in the correct directory. It just doesn't recognize them for some reason.

Thanks again.

 

Any new updates with this?

 

Any way to get As Built? My 4 year old grandson took the tablet I had been using for ForScan and decided to put it in the kitchen sink to wash it after spilling a soda on it. Total loss with all files.

He won't get near any of my electronics till he's 35.
