Tech support from obdexpress.co.uk:

Find this button in the VCM 2 main unit, and then press on it.

Connect the VCM II unit to a laptop/PC with a USB cable

Note that VCM II is only connected to the PC via a USB cable, not connected to the car via an OBD cable

Press the button until the power is connected and all the lights are lighted.

Go to the START menu, then Bosch

Open Ford VCM II Manager, then go to VCM II Update for recovery

Hope it’s helpful to you.

(Solved) VCM2 WiFi only work with v86, not newer IDS

Thread about VCM2 WiFi on newer IDS software. 

I think its pretty clear why it doesn’t work now from watching the serial connection to the VCM’s output….The drivers aren’t loading on the VCM. That was what I was pointing out.

My wifi works only with v86 not with any other versions but haven’t worked out which file to swap

He alluded to the key being getting the v86 VCI to work with the newer VCM firmware in another post. I was able to beg v86 VCI to talk to v101.04 VCM firmware without saying it needed to upgrade the other day but not to my benefit :/

I am currently getting a laptop deployed that has more than one USB 2.0 port. I tried using 3.0 by setting the vmplayer to USB3 mode adding adding the driver on the guest OS for the USB 3 host controller which all went fine but the Host OS isn’t passing devices through to the vmplayer guest OS that I plug in to USB3 ports :/

I never thought having a newer model laptop would hurt me

And…… Physical hardware with v86 installed directly on it worked just fine for WiFi! Gonna grab the individual VCM’s config file from the VCI manager and see if that works in 101.04 The file is generated when you first plug in the VCM to software for the first time.

Another note you’d better read:

it wont work , if it is detected that you are trying to use an older version VCI Manger , the setup installs the vci manager from another location , might work upto about 97 version , but deffo not in 100 or 101 version, to get and older vci manager to work in 100 plus version requires quite a lot of work to be fair .

swapping individual files wont work either, thats why the firmware patch only worked to 97 version, after that the vci manager changed the install location of the firmware files and stuff, look at your two different setup’s 86 – 101 to see what i mean.

Advice form experts:

Better use genuine VCM2 or HQ cloned VCM2 SP177-C1, no issues of WiFi & IDS compatibility.

Easy to find out a genuine Ford VCM2 unit via Google;

But attention please when you wanna go to a VCM2 clone -READ IT:

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

New Ford module programming with VCM2 clone

VCM2 manual: NEW module programming using Ford IDS software

You need Ford IDS software, original or crack

You need a HQ VCM2 clone SP177-C or SP177-C1

(VCM2 genuine definitely is the best solution, but a high-quality one should work great, not  cheap crappy tools)

When installing a new module, the configuration data must be transferred from the old module beforeit is removed. The new module will then be programmed using this information. Use the followingsteps to download the data from the existing module and program the new module:

Step 1: Select the toolbox tab at the top of the screen

Step 2: Select "Module Programming"

Step 3: Select the tick mark or the Enter key

Step 4: Select "Programmable Module Installation"

Step 5: From the fly out menu, select the type of module to be installed

Step 6: Select the tick mark or the Enter key

Step 7: Make sure that an Internet connection has been established and then select "Confirm"

Step 8: Follow the instructions on the screen. These instructions vary depending on the type ofmodule being installed.

NOTE: Be sure to follow these instructions in the exact order that they are given. Do not remove or install any modules until instructed to do so. Failure to follow the instructions correctly may result in the configuration data received during vehicle identification to program incorrectly or not at all.

Step 8A: If Ford Module Programming was unable to retrieve the configuration data due to either

a non-functioning module or a module which was removed before the data was retrieved, the

application will request that the user obtain information from the Module Build Data (As Built)

database. Access to this database is included in the Ford Module Programming subscription. The

data can be obtained by doing the following:

• Go to the Motorcraft website (www.motorcraft.com)
• Go to the Technical Resources area
• Log in using the User ID and password set up when the subscription to Ford Module

Programming was purchased

• Select "My Subscriptions"
• Select "Ford Module Programming"
• Select "Module Build Data (as Built)"
• Enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and select "Submit"
• Write down the information that was requested by the Ford Module Programming

application

• Return to the Ford Module Programming application and enter the requested information

Step 9: If necessary, apply the reprogramming label to the PCM

If an emissions recall has been performed or a required emissions-related TSB has been completed,

an Authorized Modification label must be placed on the PCM. These labels can be purchased at the

parts counter of a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealership.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the technician to inform the customer that Ford Motor Company will not reimburse the vehicle owner for field service actions that are not completed at a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealership.

Step 10: When the "Programming complete" screen appears, select the tick mark or the Enterkey. If PATS initialization is required, Ford Module Programming may automatically link to the PATSparameter reset and/or key relearn procedures. Two ignition keys may be required to complete the

PATS initialization procedure.

Step 10A: If PATS initialization is required and Ford Module Programming did not link to thatfunctionality automatically, go to the Toolbox tab and select "PATS". Detailed instructionsare provided in Section 6.
