Have you done a total cost of the project to date ?

Have you done a total cost of the project to date ?

Actual total cost at present stands at £3176
That's without a new heated windscreen which is the only thing left to do for MOT.

If I decide to sell it, starting price would be at £3800.
Got to make a little profit & is still cheaper than a 2010 basic model.
Hopefully cheaper tax too - when DLVA decides to get back to me....

Did some a couple of experiments trying to enable optional features on GEM modules fitted to 2009 onwards connects.

When using IDS the only features available to enable/disable are remote unlocking single step or double step & Heated front screen.
There are no options available to enable/disable the optional features - automatic wipers / automatic headlamps (Autowipe/lights) or Alarm.

I have 3 GEM modules as show below




All 3 modules have the same standards features enabled.
Apart from the optional features which differ & are as follows :-

GEM A - Heated front screen
GEM B - Heated front screen & Autowipe/lights.
GEM C - Heated front screen & Alarm

As I want Autowipe/lights & alarm for my connect. Fitted GEM B ran IDS, selected PMI (Programmable Module installation) DATA was downloaded from module.
IDS instructed to fit new module, fitted GEM C & DATA was uploaded to it.
Outcome GEM C has Autowipe/lights has been enabled but Alarm had been disabled

Next step was reprogram GEM C, Unplugged it & ran IDS (new session) & selected PMI again for GEM. IDS instructs to install new module, GEM C was plugged back in. IDS then gave option to program "As Built Data" to proceed with this It verifies vehicle Vin number too download correct calibration for that Vin from Ford.
When IDS ask to confirm if Vin nunmber is correct select NO, & enter in Vin number from another connect that has the features already enabled. Calibration is downloaded for new Vin & uploaded to GEM C.
Outcome - Now GEM C has Autowipe/lights & Alarm enabled

To change Vin number back to original, start a new session in IDS while GEM C is still plugged in & select PMI. when is asks to comfirm vin is correct select no & enter in your original vin number. Data is then downloaded from GEM C. When prompted to install new module, leave GEM C plugged in & DATA is re-uploaded too it with your original Vin Number.
Outcome - GEM C still has Autowipe/lights & Alarm enabled

Extra wiring for Alarm feature, consists of 1 wire for alarm horn & 1 wire for bonnet switch
Alarm horn is location behind glovebox see below

Hi Paul you are doing a great job in here and don't worry what other people saying .
I was curious if I wanted to add alarm on my 2010 connect ,what kit should I need except alarm horn and bonnet switch you showed on here because the wiring is already there. Who can reprogram the existing CL/RC module?

As your connect is a 2010, wiring will already be there for Alarm horn & bonnet switch.

Although you will require a GEM module with CTM CL DL RKE AS on label.
& then reprogram it to your connect.

I can do the programming no problem

Thanks Paul,but I am in London ,a bit too far from you.
Can you point me what module required?

GEM module is located on N/S at bottom of dash bolted to mash dash support (It has 5 plugs plugged into it)

Unfortunately these don't turn up very often second hand & are costly from Ford
I have a couple spare here, but not equipped for alarms - but do have autowipe/lights enabled

Part no of GEM module you require for alarm is 9T1T-15K600-EC OR 9T1T-15K600-ED

You are great Paul
I will keep an eye on ebay for a gem module with alarm but I noticed that there are no switches on the front doors,how the lights come on when you open a door?

All door ajar switches are built into the door lock assembles. GEM module detects when door is open & turns on interior lights. For example if rear door is open, it will also display "Rear door open"
On level 2 instrument cluster in 2009-2013 connects.

It also works the same way for alarm
