Thanks Clay! I now have an official truck hat.

 

i wonder if mine not working now becuase they have dongles and i dont have one, i installed the original disc and ford enhanced code. but wont communicate with truck.

 

Check the fuse for the cig lighter, same one for the OBD2 port

 

thats good. this couldnt read either of the 7.3 diesel i tried it on.

 

In the communications setup try these settings:

non-OBDII only and J1850 PWM.

Then try different USB connections on your laptop/pic. My older AE versions get a little touch with the high speed USB ports.

 

already tried all that. they make the most frustrating product ive ever used so far! they emailed me thesame codes that i am using now that the things not working, even tho it says my enhanced ford is activated.

 

Try wiggling the USB cord on the computer side, if the computer is on the old side and you use the USB a lot they can become finicky. If I don't rest mine just right it won't read the truck. Good luck and hope that helps.

 

From what little I've used AE, I can honestly say I don't like it. It hangs, crashes and is generally buggy.

 

Welllll, Thanx Rich!!! My wife is an accountant and I get one check at a time to carry in my Fordfold. How can I sweep this one under that eye. SOLD


I'll figure somethings wrong with her ford 500 or my kids Lincoln and shazammm.




Making it happen. Thanx for the spurs. I'll need some tutalidge. Standby.

got it working, ae customerservice is really good. i had updated the unit and forgot so they linked me to the new software for compatability and the code i needed. thanks AE

 

So you were able to get updated to the latest version and still go with no dongle? I have an early version as well (V 7.3) and if it can be upgraded without the need for a dongle that means I only need one USB port which opens the door to a lot of different Windows devices.

 

no dongle, not latest version, just a newer one then what came with mine, they linked me to download 9.1.1

 

got it. Can you post back how you like it, I might upgrade just to be able to use it on some newer cars.

 

im really learning on this, i dont know what im doing 80% of the time, i mostly use it as a code reader right now.

 

Do a search for "AE class". It doesn't give all the answers, but it shows you how to ask the right questions.
