FORD IDS VCM 2 UPDATE
USB wired connections are only required to update the VCM II loaded code and to set up the VCM II to function as a Customer Flight Recorder Wireless functionality preferred for all IDS functions including module reprogramming.New wireless software integrated with IDS installation package.This allows technicians to work on vehicles remotely while the VCM II is connected directly to the vehicle. A fantastic new function of the VCM 2 is its ability to communicate wirelessly with your laptop or computer without any hardware or software upgrades.
FORD IDS VCM 2 FULL
The VCM II and IDS, along with a dedicated laptop, provides full dealer diagnostic capabilities for most 16 pin Fords.
FORD IDS VCM 2 PRO
I have my genuine Drew Technologies Mongoose Pro Ford (PWM) J2534 programmer, which can only program some modules like the PCM… It only supports CAN Bus (capable of ISO 15765, GMLAN, and ISO14229), J1850PWM / SCP, and ISO9141 / KWP2000… It is nice the clone VCM2 can read modules on the other, two out of three, CAN networks newer Ford vehicles use such as Medium Speed CAN.Ford Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II)Īuthentic Ford OEM diagnostics scan tool that works with the Ford IDS diagnostics application running on a PC to diagnose Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Also I wonder if it will work with IDS version 96.01 which is due out on the 24th.Īnyways it was a good investment, I think.
If only there was a way to not have to deal with the 3 day trial nonsense without spending $700. It seems to be working great, reads my vehicle now, cleared DTC codes, I even updated 8 modules in my 2014 vehicle after downloading the calibration files with no crashes or errors. I probably won’t use it much anyways as it is just for my personal use on my own car. I did all of this in a VMWare Workstation 10 image of Windows 7 that I created and made a backup copy of the image in case I mess the image up. (As I think this is what caused my issue of no communication in the first place) I reinstalled the BOSCH software again so IDS didn’t prompt me to update to the newer version of the software from September 2014 vs February 2014 (.3). I also updated IDS to version 95.05 and using a 3 day trial after upgrading from version 91.01. I reinstalled the firmware in recovery mode using Ford_VCM_II_Software_Setup_v2.1.119.3 from the BOSCH website. Having talked about with some repairing friends and forum guys, I decided to have a try with my FORD VCM II. I don’t need to be doing a file transfer such as a module programming and increase the already present chance of a connection dropout.
This one has the WiFi, but given its a clone I will most likely only chance the wired USB. I seen some other images around the interwebs that show PCB’s that don’t look all that great. The quality looks good on the PCB and no lose connections from what I can see. Worried about the quality, I decided to see the PCB. IDS detected the VCM II just fine, the lights light up correctly, but when I plugged it into my 2014 Ford Fusion it would not detect the PCM to establish any communication.Īns I did not know if it is necessary to reflash different software or downgrade. I just got a clone VCM II from China, and then I installed IDS V95 and it did a software update which finished successfully.
