See IDS Update Release Dates below:


Step 4: Download VMS
Then Install VMS
(Optional - VCMM Users Only)
VMS v1.1.1034.0
www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/IDS/Vehicle_Measurement_System/Vehicle_Measurement_System_v1.1.1034.0.exe
Click here for VMS Manual

After Installing: Diagnostic Software Updates will pop up on Mondays and Thursdays when available.

1. VCI firmware what's new - contain details on this new software.

IMPORTANT: Changes to VCM II and VCMM
VCM II & VCMM Device Software (“VCI Software”)
VCI Software

• Previously, installing IDS or FDRS would install everything that is needed in order to use a VCM II/VCMM with any of the Ford diagnostic software (IDS, FDRS & VMS). There is now a new package separate from
• IDS and FDRS, called VCI Software.
• This VCI Software package WILL NEED to be downloaded in order to use your VCM II or VCMM, regardless of whether this is the first time you have downloaded IDS/FDRS.
• This will improve download and installation time, as previously you were downloading and installing these components with BOTH IDS and FDRS.
• You WILL NOT need to download and install this package every release, only when there is an update to the loaded code on the device.

VCI Launcher
When launching the VCI Manager, you will be prompted to select which device (VCM II or VCMM) you intend to use.
Only the devices of the selected type will appear in the VCI Manager. If you wish to switch device type, you will have to close the VCI Manager and select the other device.
Note: If the device is already connected via USB, you will bypass the selection screen.

Figure 2: The main screen of the VCI Launcher



Figure 3: A side-by-side comparison showing the VCM II Manger and the VCMM Manager

Changes to IDS

• IDS now requires you to select your device type at the launch of IDS.
•  If you wish to switch devices while in IDS, you need to navigate to what was previously the Wireless device manager (the green arrows in the upper right hand corner), select the button at the bottom left which says “VCI Type” and select which device you wish to use. You can do this at any time while in the IDS tool.
•  Note: It is recommended if you previously pinned IDS to the task bar, that you unpin it in R115, and then re-pin it while on the device selection screen.

Figure 4: The device selection screen when launching IDS.


Figure 5: The new device manager screen. Note the icon in the top right, the VCI Type button in the bottom left, and the VCI Launcher selection window.

VCI Software Uninstaller

• There is now a new component included in the VCI Software package called VCI Software Uninstaller.
• This gives you the ability to uninstall all Ford Diagnostic components (IDS, FDRS, VMS, CFR, and VCI Software) from one central location, rather than having to uninstall each component individually.
• This uninstaller can be accessed by going to StartFord Motor CompanyVCI Software Uninstaller. After following the prompts, you can select which software applications you wish to uninstall.
• Note: If you are removing all components, it is recommended you select “Remove Uninstaller Data” to remove successfully all Ford components from the PC.

How to change GEM settings in Fiesta 2003 ?

How to change GEM settings in Fiesta 2003 ?
I need to check or change the settings of the GEM in an Fiesta MK6 (build 2003).
Anyone knows a software tool to do this?
I have an ELM327 (clone) adapter at hand. Also an UCDS interface.

There are two software tools to do this:

1. IDS/VCM
2. Forscan

In details:
Ideally you want IDS/VCM for this.
At this age you can do anything to this car using a VCM with Ford IDS v86 and C81 calibrations.
Advise the best VCM2 Ford IDS V101 (with double pcb, no wifi):
http://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/best-quality-ford-vcm-ii-oem-diagnostic-tool-ids-wireless.html



Capable alternative: Forscan  
ForScan is working fine. I had this, but an old version without capability to program. Downloaded the recent version from forscan.org and all worked like charm! This is a really great tool and all for FREE!

Another working alternative: FORScan Scanner clone
Test reports: China clone bought two days ago, but DTC, direct coding and other functions work.

How to solve IDS V108 "Selection not available"

Hello,

I bought ids 108 from your portal and will buy IDS V112 soon but i got problem.

when i wanna module programming i got something like i uploaded in this video (https://youtu.be/NZ4ruRgxshU)

I had error selection not available after entering module programming:

Then I downloaded “Ford Extending Programming.rar file from bellow link:  

https://mega.nz/#!tZwXiI4T!2zZwqZTKIEegDPK7M_0YceY3bvuHoynu8yGLTUaiK7M

from internet and I have this now.

And it’s now like in this video:

https://youtu.be/NZ4ruRgxshU

when I installed ghost image and when i plugged VCM it didn’t find any driver for vcm so i downloaded from internet vcm driver 2~ and its working but maybe its the problem?? do you have driver for this ??

Solution from OBDexpress.co.uk

Reinstall the IDS driver and its working (for windows 7 home premium some people says yes, some people says no, so it depends on your try.) VX Driver VCMii2.2.0.1510 is good also.

 A new problem arose:

but I got another problem after entering programming abs i got this reading “Module part numbers were found in database but database information is incomplete”.

i can’t use internet because its making this problem with closing automatically
like in video was.

Tip:

Disable the internet connection, if the internet connection is disabled and you got no database then it means VCM2 doesn’t support your car, your car need to online programming with other device instead of VCM2.(i.e fvdi j2534)

Ford VCM2 IDS Windows 10 Migration Tips & Guides

Here you will get to know how to migrate an Ford IDS System to Windows 10.

Part 1: Reason why you should do the migration

Part 2: Preparation before Windows 10 Migration

Part 3: Windows 10 Migration

Part 1:  The reason why you should do the migration

Windows 10 migration on a PC that has IDS installed requires preliminary steps to ensure successful operation. Migrating to Windows 10 without following the procedure below may result in connection concerns with your VCM or VCM II to IDS, IDS license concerns, or an inability to properly install/uninstall IDS on your PC.

You may want to consider remaining on your current Operating System or having an IT professional perform the Windows 10 update.

Part 2: Preparation before Windows 10 Migration

1. Begin by uninstalling IDS. Click on the Windows Icon > Ford Motor Company > IDS > Uninstall IDS, as

2. 
   Next, select the “Remove” option on the screen

3. When prompted, select “Return License”

4. Next, uninstall the Bosch Software. Click on the Windows Icon > Control Panel > Programs and

5. Select the Bosch VCI Software, and then click on “Uninstall”

6. Once the Bosch VCI Software has been successfully uninstalled, reboot your

Part 3: Windows 10 migration

After you have completed the above steps, your system is ready to migrate to Windows 10. Go to the following URL for Microsoft’s Windows 10 update instructions:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-upgrade

Technical support from http://www.obdexpress.co.uk

A lot of software can work with Ford VCM II

This Ford VCMII can works with:
Ford IDS
Mazda IDS
Suzuki SDT 2
JLR SDD
Toyota Techstream
Nissan Consult 3+
Honda HDS

This is about Ford VCM 2 software compatibility.

And also with any other software that support Passthru J2534 devices

Why is not working the Mazda IDS for you is that you need to do some tricks to make it works
Maybe will be someone such a kind to tell you how to do it.
All that its shared in public it will be easy KILL it

So you need to make your tools seen by the Mazda IDS Manager and then you can use your Ford VCM 2 with Mazda IDS
Good luck

Ford Manager 2.4.73.37 (2.3.85.7): Tested 100% with VCM II & real cars

Yes! The new Ford Manager 2.4.73.37 is working only copy/paste the Ford Manager files over the Mazda Manger one as before.

I tired and works.
If you have a genuine/HQ cloned interface and want to use Mazda ids fully then right now it is better to stick with 2.3.85.7

And yes i tested in real car also.

I did a DPF Static Reeneration in a Mazda 3 (BK) 2007
Works like a charm. All Function that I used in that car worked well
If I will see any problems I will be back to 2.3.85.7
But now I wanted to keep it as it is because I don’t wanna chane always the firmware between Ford IDS and Mazda IDS
I have a HQ Ford VCM II not a Mazda VCM II

Btw. I use ALL the Ford Manager installer. ( as it’s installed in Ford IDS partition )

How to get GM MDI clone to work with Ford IDS?

Does anyone know if my clone GM MDI interface will work with Ford IDS software without limitations?
Also is there anyway to convert my MDI to a VCM II by flashing it? They seem to be very similar.

Possible but not easy…Requires editing of the Dynamic link libary files and more.

i have had MDI Working with it for a long time for personal use
Since version 97.xxx it is easier than say 96.01 becuase when they changed things to block clones in this version, they basically changed the file stucture to that of an MDI.

but whats the point with tools like vxdiag vcx nano flying about for around the £50.00 mark using the same process as i talk about ….they are good working tools for little money that can be thrown away when blocked or damaged and repurchased…..you would need to buy a lot of these buy the time you bought an original VCMII

let me give you an example…with licensed ford ids and clone VCM-II , You are still blocked from server….with genuine VCM-II and good keygened software thing still work 100%…YOU CAN CHECK THIS NOT IN IDS But in ETIS.

the main thing dealer sites look for is genuine hardware but sometimes genuine serial in clone tool is not enough, example JLR SDD

after many years of messing about with this sort of stuff i can honestly say the way to go is…Genuine tools with Genuine software, which is out of most people like you and me’s reach so 2nd to that is genuine tools with GOOD modified software that works in the real world….Some clones work well and are reliable like Vas5054a, Lexia interface...renault can clip….icom a2‘s….sdconnect….interface of good quality…..but when i spend a lot of money on tools i want them to work , software i can always sort myself so i try to buy genuine hw for personal use , way less problems this way…..long winded post i know but i thought i would share my thoughts in general …..Kind Regards
