Ford IDS installation

[sogaro]

I just got a Ford IDS VCM tool but having issues installing it right. It installs but when i do system checks it does not see VCM , does not connect to device even though it shows there is tool installed with its parameters.

i think you just hitting wrong tab like multimeter on ids tab.the pic you post is for vmm(lab scope)just hook your vcm to car and start from there .if it is clone and you are hooking it to Non CAN cars it takes two three tries before it talk to car .

[gab1tzu]

make sure you have a genuine version of the vcm or try older versions of the ids

[sjaaaf]

If you got it from china then use only the software version that came with it, if you use them with a newer software version ther will follow a firmware update and then it will not work anymore.

I use my IDS from china with V67 and that works great.

You are the man i need, let me know when its convenient for you to help me. We can use Teamviewer and you can log into my system to help me set mine up well.

its also important to use windowsa xp SERVICE PACK 3. set date back before running ids or you will lose module programming. if you have probs its an idea to use a laptop with a....
clean install of xp sp3 with no anti virus and no other programs installed. not 100% neccessary but sp3 and date is, regards steve

My windows is xp ans SP3, i think its better we do this together when you are set

I got one from china and it refuse to install on my system but when i tried it on a freshly installed system it works perfectly. i think that software receives interference from some others like the fly, not so sure but that was my experience.

[sogaro]

Thanks but i think mine installed alright but maybe the issue is usage and the test car. will try on another car to see

I had a problem with IDS on a compaq pc running XP SP3 software held when resetting adaptives. Tried it on my trusty old IBM T30 and it worked perfectly.

So beware everyone, doesnt work on all pc,s

Ford/mazda cannot work on same partition as jag/landrover. Either install on different partitions or use software to allow you to use both on same partition. :toilet:
