Which hardware to buy for Ford ?

[Tawe]

Hi. I need to buy hardware interface for Ford.
I need experience with following hardwares, which is best to buy and what is the difference. I'll use them for fuel pump adaptation, also will be great for pin code reading, key coding ...


1. VCM II V90.1 (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/VCM-II-Newest-V90-1-New-Professional-VCM-II-Diagnostic-Rotunda-Interface-FORD-VCM-2-For/2053031046.html?spm=2114.32010308.4.19.IaBjYD)


2. VCM II V94 (http://www.dhgate.com/product/new-release-ford-vcm-ii-ids-v86-oem-level/168764861.html#s1-1-1a|286246483)


What is difference between them, and except these, what else would you recommend to me up to 150/160 euros

in fact, both v91 and v94 software install not easy, the old version v86 will be better

I recently bought a VCM II from aliexpress (bad idea) that was actually just an FTDI and cheap ARM processor... it beeps on boot and you could use VCMPlus drivers utility to make it "re-boot" again - but the serial port never disconnects.

There was no RNDIS device presented to the host, no reset button, the USB and SD card ports didn't wire to anything etc.
It's really a very clever piece of ~~~~...

and sort of works as a pass-through device but is useless for coding which is why I bought it.
Opened up a not as described case - wish me luck

Depending on years as I had to scan a late 2004 galaxy with my vcm 2 and it said connect old vcm 1 so you may need both
