Changed Bosch VCI manager files from ford into mazda and now when start vcm manager ask me to update to newer version, but I not wanna update and skip that. I followed a youtube video and I installed (on free IDS PC) Mazda IDS v88 (because I readed that v88 will work with same firmware as ford v86). I downgrade my vcm2 firmware to work with Ford IDS v86, and now ford is ok for me.
SO IN ids 94, you can go to program and features and uninstall version 2.1.119.19, reboot and install 2.1.119.3 You need to press the reset button on the vcmII WHILE CONNECTED TO 12V, then when you see all lights flash at once on the vcmii, you put to usb, wait for beep release reset button on VCMII and start VCI MANAGER.īUTTONS IN VCI MAAGER SHOULD COME ALIVE BUT YOU NEED TO DO IT WITH VERSION 2.1.119.3 TizWazsaid, “IF YOU ARE USING VERSION 94, YOU WILL HAVE WRONG VERSION BOSCH VCI MAMAGER, IT WILL BE 2.1.19.19 I am using V94, and I was told I need OSCH VCI MAMAGER2.1.119.3, NOT 2.1.19.19 I install V94 and after that IDS said me is new version v95 I downloaded it and it worked.
But I had installed this new version Ford v95 and worked this new software update without problem.
I have not installed newest Ford IDS v95 for example because I don`t know how to freeze system still after 5 days license k.o. I have installed this softwares on VMware each separately. When I want update or downgrade VCM I have to only connect VCM with PC not need connect VCM to OBD. You can do this without press the button on vcmii) Start VCI Manager and press update /start (RUN v2.1.119.3 on a computer without any IDS or SDD !LhNUDDzS!lqgQfn7AwXM_E-BxBj2mToJNd52w6HElT_l3mpBAUcU When I installed JLR SDD v138 I had to update VCM to this version and after that was not functional with Ford IDS v86 after installing this setup was all functional. My VCM have no problem with update downgrade I had installed Ford IDS v95 after that v86 and no problem update downgrade. I have Chinese clone Ford VCM II and working with Ford IDS v86, Mazda IDS v91 and with JLR SDD v138 with this software setup too. Try to use this Ford VCM II Software setup v2.1.119.3. Press and hold reset button after that insert usb to pc still hold reset button when you will hear beep after that release reset button. I just get VCM2 and instaled IDS v86 and when I start sw error I get that VCM firmware is newer then IDS sw. There maybe vcm diagnostics available in ids but as it is a clone vcm i wouldn’t trust it.Recently, OBDexpress has received some question about Ford VCM2 firmware downgrade,and obdexpress found the same problem in the mhhauto OBDII scan forum. I don’t want to write your vcm off but the only things you can do is. I have v96 running and it works on my 65 custom. Right it’s not as simple as running native v86 then which was going to be my suggestion. It is possible that the vcm is going though does it show the red padlock and red vcm icon on the task bar or does the lock disappear? Does the vcm show computer light flashing? Do you hear bing bong like it is missing connection?Ĭan you do a fresh install of w7 and v86 with license? That is the best ids for euro 4 transits if that is what you are working on?
Next if the problem persists you need to look at reloading the laptop. Remove the rubber end boot to reveal the button then have that pressed and held then plug usb lead into laptop and wait for beep then let go of the button, ids should prompt you to load the firmware so agree. You could reset the vcm via the red reset button, it’ll force ids to reload the firmware to the vcm which will be whatever firmware you have in the ids that is loaded, v101 I think you said. Freezing is usually because of something which can’t communicate quick enough and ends up timing out. I’ve had similar before but was on my faulty vcm i think.
Question: I am able to use Ford VCM II to read and clear any dtcs etc so it is recognizing vehicle, just freezing up when opting parameters ? I am working on Ford 2014 custom.
