Michael, Do you have a bin and xdf file that would work on a 1999 Crown Vic 4.6 car? It has MLC-411 hardware code. Maybe CRAIA?
The current PCM has a catch code ARA1. I haven't been able to round up an xdf companion file for the ARA1.
I read that back in 2012 you did some work with a 99 Crown Vic. Thought you might have something, even though MLC-411 wasn't listed in your hardware codes.

ARA1 is CRAIB. ARA2 is CRAIC. YYA2 is the predecessor CRAI8. I attached it to the CRAI8 files. You can write it and tune it no problem. Both ARA1 and YYA2 have theft disabled from the factory. ARA1 is a 3.55 rear and YYA2 is a 3.27 rear end fyi, no biggie though.

Thanks a bunch. I assume that the CRAI8_230620.xdf is the file to use with the ARA1 bin since it is the only xdf listed?

yep snatch that adx as well so you can log

did you make any progress ?

I was just now looking to see if I did get the adx file.
I'm still several weeks away from a "real time" situation with TunerPro and the Moates QH.
I was also thinking about the PCMFlash software and the Scanmatik to read, write and clone. When I finally receive the Scanmatik, (ordered 9-29 from Kazakhstan and it made it to east Poland by Friday 10-27) to make a clone of my ARA1 PCM, can I read it and then simply write it to the spare '99 Crown Vic PCM that came out of a 99 pass car with PATS originally to make a copy (clone) pcm to experiment with, without any bin switching since it is all only involving the Scanmatik and PCMFlash? They both have the same hardware code. Previously I put together a bench harness to use with the Scanmatik 2 Pro.
In the meantime, I keep reading about disassembly as it has to do with swapping bank order. I know that I will have to know it to swap stuff between the two different systems? Is the Hex Editor Neo adequate? I used the one pictured.

I haven't mentioned that in late November when working with the new QuarterHorse, I read the 1999 CV P71 PCM and I read the file name
in the hexeditor in TunerPro and at the end of thE file read CRAICA8 XW7FCD VINP71W7XX116184.
