FORD IDS VS MINI VCM

**sogaro** · 29th September, 2010, 06:45 AM

I am about buying a Ford tool and need suggestions here about what choice between Ford IDS/Ford VCM and Mini VCM which am told is a newer stuff.

No LR, no Jaguar available for Mini VCM till now. I think, Rotunda IDS copy will be better. But the price is double against mini vcm

**sogaro** · 4th October, 2010, 07:54 PM

Which one is Rotunda IDS?

Rotunda VCM is the original diagnostic tool for Ford/Mazda/Lincoln/Mercury/Landrover/Jaguar - and you might also be able to do Honda with it (told here in Forum)

I've just seen the possibility of the mini VCM on ebay items, if you check similar products there also appears one which supports also Toyota and Honda - looks quite same on picture, has just a different name
So maybe somebody can tell us more about that,....

Sogaro,

I dont know from experience but there is alot of talk about the quality of the clone vcm being bad. Used oem is always an option. They can be had on fleabay for well under $1400 if you are patient.
