G'day,

As per title, has anyone tried to licence an Aus release Ford Explorer only to have the mismatch error? My neighbour bought a 2004 Explorer 4.6 V8 second hand, and that's the error I get when I try to licence it. I've updated to the latest 2.24 and firmware update on the dongle. The VIN shows up as a 2008 E-Series for some strange reason, although the VIN in the ecm matches the VIN on the vehicle. I've emailed Bill, he asked whether the vehicle had been previously tuned. Both myself and the owner have no knowledge of its previous life. I'm beginning to think the Aussie spec Explorers have different software maybe, as the car has no other mods. It's stock as a rock. Any thoughts welcomed!

Cheers,

Murray
