I know this is an ancient thread, but it is still useful, and seems to be a good place to put things like settings.

For those of you who have been using the 1.4.0 for a while, how long does it take to read all of the modules?

I've just run the scanner over one of ours and although there are three pages of modules listed a lot are not coming up as being found even though I know the car has the modules installed.  As an example the 'Cruise Control' comes back as "not found" but the car has it.

Is there a setting I need to change, or is it just I need the engine running or something else?

Not used one...
But think you definitely need the ignition in the ON position (Prior to starting) but engine not running.
Carsoft, INPA & NCSExpert wont see all unless the above is done.

Best to have car on a decent charger / PSU when doing anything over a few mins of playing.
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)

Cheers.

I had the ignition on, and yes the car connected to a charger too.....been there, done that, felt an idiot!.....perhaps it just needs a couple of tries.

Ta for the suggestions.  :D
