Overview Essential CAN communication cable for reprogramming and tuning Ford FG MK1 radio systems through standard OBDII protocols. This DTM4 to OBDII adapter bridges factory radio CAN networks with diagnostic equipment, enabling complete control over audio system parameters during performance builds and ECU conversions. Technical Specifications Part Number: HT-135001 Cable Length: 0.8M / 2.6Ft Connector Type: DTM4 to OBDII Application: Ford FG MK1 Radio Systems Protocol: CAN Bus Communication Why You Need This Ford FG MK1 vehicles present unique challenges during ECU swaps and performance builds, particularly when integrating aftermarket engine management with factory radio systems. The factory radio's CAN network often conflicts with standalone ECUs, causing dashboard errors, loss of steering wheel controls, and communication faults. This becomes critical in builds where you're retaining the factory interior whilst running a Haltech Elite or Nexus ECU. This cable solves the reprogramming puzzle by providing direct CAN access through the radio's DTM4 connector, allowing you to modify radio firmware parameters without dismantling the dashboard. Essential for LS swap builds, Barra turbo conversions, and any FG MK1 where you're running standalone engine management but need the radio system to play nicely with modified CAN networks. Without proper radio reprogramming, you'll face persistent warning lights and non-functional convenience features that detract from an otherwise professional build. ECU & System Compatibility Designed specifically for Ford FG MK1 radio reprogramming applications. While not directly connected to Haltech ECUs, this cable is frequently required in builds running Elite 550/750/1000/1500/2000/2500 and Nexus R3/R5 systems where factory CAN integration is essential.
