"hi guys, like I promised here is how to fix your vcm when it either locks or freezes due to software glitches or conflicts may help in other ways as you may know. Please a friend gave this to me so dont spread it around keep it in the dk circle or ford will change the way it loads, i am a newbie and down loaded software here and it is my turn to put back what i used hope this helps. Please say thanks"
Once again all kudos go to pat 35Code:To restore the VCM configuration (software), you can use the VCM Recovery Tool and reload the software in the VCM using your laptop. Use the Data Link Connection (DLC) cable and a vehicle for the VCM power source. 1. Close IDS. 2. Click on the Windows Start Button 3. Click on Run 4. Enter, without quotes ?clearvcmutil? click OK. 5. Follow the on-screen instructions to reload Update Loaded Code and Update PROM. If successful, Normal VCM LEDS after booting cycle using a DLC connection: 1 amber, 2 flashing green, 3 red, 4 off, 5 flashing amber. The VCM icon will be in the lower right corner of the Start New Session screen.
Enjoy!!!!

Hi digis , i have done the he instuctions everything ok and updated...but IDS wants still the key and does not run.
All Leds lightened like discribed.
i Use VCM imported with V60 i ve updated on Fords HP to V69.
pls help :-(
My mondi does not run and i cant get the faults
hello mate,...
I think i have bad news for your VCM
from Version V65 on there's a blacklist integrated in IDS Software, so only registered VCM's can be unlocked for diagnostics - dont know if somebody already has a solution for this problem yet????
enjoy and have Fun
Tom

Is there a procedure to remove a blacklisted VCM 1 Original Rotunda? There was a link to a cable awhile ago, Cant find it anymore though.
