Maybe they could do what the tuner people do and marry it to the VIN and if you need more than one VIN payĪ bit extra but not the $600+ per year like it is right now.īTW my idea of reasonable price is lets say $250.00 for the tool and $25.00 and $25.00 year for each added VIN over the 1st one. I wished that Motorcraft would come out with a reasonable priced <<<< Ok I know that is a funny one.
#Vcm 2 ford ids install
I did try an install of the older software and it did not connect with the newer VCMII. But with the clone VCMII I am not willing to take a chance of bricking mine. I know someone that has the older IDS software from before the VCMII days when they did not have the phone home feature I have read somewhere that if you try to use the newer software from Motorcraft it will brick the Chinese units. Review 5: try the newer software from Motorcraft Honda HDS interface is very cheap from china and latest software can be found online and works great never failed me…. good quality Ford VCM from china works just like original, there is some good quality benz and BMW units out there, vag com and VCP for vag. Review 4: good quality, working like the originalĬlone vcm2 also has good quality, i’m not saying ebay or Alibaba. The software is a bit of a hassle to install, but I picked up a cheap laptop on Craigslist to dedicate to the job. They did well and my other supplier is back working again so if I do buy for people I can go back that route to get new units if I need/want any. BTW the reason for the 2 unit is I was testing a new supplier in China. I picked up the older disks on Fleabay. They are the 2009 issue ones.Īll in all I am happy with both units when used with the older software. The software that came with that clone was messed up somewhere and would not connect even hardwired. Both units work on the firstĬopy of IDS I got. I will be testing the clone with a REAL IDS that I have. The hard wire connections on both work just fine however the wireless connection was a PITA and I was not able to get it to work. Also If you don’t you will have to dig out all it parts that are buried in the system you installed it on. You must run the patch before you try the app the first time.
#Vcm 2 ford ids Patch
The key when installing the clone software is the patch file. One is hard wire and the other has the wireless connection. Well I am going to chime in with my experiences, I have 2 clone sets.
Review 2: Happy with both vcm2 with old ids I loaded w7 on mine and the software with the VCM comes with WMware and an image of XP sp3 to load for IDS. I would suggest as one did above to buy an old laptop with at least 3gb of memory and 256gb disk drive.
#Vcm 2 ford ids license
Virtual machine emulates a computer within a computer isolating the IDS from the real world and license checking. VMware is a virtual machine running on the laptop. It is cumbersome but does appear to work. If I bought it again, I would not buy the wifi module equipped version.
#Vcm 2 ford ids update
It is also needs a firmware update to use the current v97 IDS. The link is for wifi compatible model but does not include the D-Link wifi modules.
I was able to get the software loaded and operational.
I have not played with it much yet and have yet to get the wifi part to work. THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP- VCM2 clone SP177C or SP177C1:ī.uk/5/where-to-buy-ford-vcm2-clone-sp177c-or-sp177c1/
