Try to use this Ford VCM II Software setup v2.1.119.3. 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. My VCM have no problem with update downgrade I had installed Ford IDS v95 after that v86 and no problem update downgrade. 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.
Ford VCM II v2.1.119.3:
(RUN v2.1.119.3 on a computer without any IDS or SDD
Start VCI Manager and press update /start
you can do this without press the button on vcmii)
When I want update or downgrade VCM I have to only connect VCM with PC not need connect VCM to OBD. I have installed this softwares on VMware each separately. Each with new clean windows xp. 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. But I had installed this new version Ford v95 and worked this new software update without problem. I install V94 and after that IDS said me is new version v95 I downloaded it and it worked.
I am using V94, and I was told I need OSCH VCI MAMAGER 2.1.119.3, NOT 2.1.19.19
TizWazsaid, “IF YOU ARE USING VERSION 94, YOU WILL HAVE WRONG VERSION BOSCH VCI MAMAGER , IT WILL BE 2.1.19.19
YOU NEED 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.
BUTTONS IN VCI MAAGER SHOULD COME ALIVE BUT YOU NEED TO DO IT WITH VERSION 2.1.119.3
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
to install MAZDA IDS With ford VCMII”
I downgrade my vcm2 firmware to work with Ford IDS v86, and now ford is ok for me.
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) . 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.
When start Mazda IDS also told me that must update, so which version of mazda will work with same ford v86 fw? Must I search for Mazda v86??
Note: the version software is unimportant , its the ETAS version that matters .
2.1.119.3
you use the SAME one across all JLR, MAZDA, FORD.
IF ORIGINAL VCMII YOU CAN USE 2.1.119.19
If clone Ford VCMII, USE that etas version for your FORD, MAZDA, and JLR
Enjoy and good luck!

SP239-B has the difference working method as others. Quality A has the best quality. For ford VCM II which do not have WIFI adapter, if you need WIFI function, you need to buy theWIFI D-link Wireless card. Now vcm ii software adds VMware software inside. Best way is install the VMware first, then install the software on VMware. If you do not want VMware, you can choose the way without vmware to install. |
Have downloaded Ford diagnostic software IDS 105.01 on a web to have a try… And luckily, it worked finally although there was a bit trouble i met. Works perfectly with Vxdiag Vcx Nano for Ford and Ford VCM2 clone on F150, Focus, Explorer…
I’m using the link with Ford IDS V105.01 + VCM II Manager 2.3.85.7:
Part 1
Part 2
Pass: nK6gE84
About Ford ids 105.01 installation:
Just Downloaded & extracted
Opened in VMWARE 10.
(In one of the first couple of lines in config file change the “12” to “10”)
Clicked “I MOVED IT”
Turned of internet (don’t know if it matters).
Turned off nonpersistent
Started Up IDS 105.1 VMWARE
Plugged in OEM VCM and installed drivers
Made cosmetic changes, performance changes to WIN7
Opened IDS and made settings changes
Ran Shut down command in Guest System
Turned nonpersistent back on
I mean I just made persistent HDD, then I installed drivers, restart. I checked license of VXDIAG… Then non persistent and now is ok.
About VCM2 IDS 105 test result:
– Ford Focus key programming….Worked!
I’ve programmed a Ford Focus blue key with this virtual machine and Ford VCM2 clone. No issues!
– ’2015 F150 Car Configuration Parameters….Worked!
I’ve used it on 2015 F-150 to enable Car Configuration Parameters without any problem
– ’2013 Explorer key programming & PCM flash….Worked
I did 6 module programming on a 2013 Explorer yesterday and all OK!
Ford IDS worked great today. Programmed a few keys and flashed a PCM already. Working flawlessly.
Hope it keeps it up.
About workable Ford diagnostic tools:
Except VCM2 clone tried, i also tested with the latest VCX manager and updated firmware on the VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford…great!
I can now confirm both of these images are working with the Allscanner VCX Brand. Not sure if it makes any different from others but I used the latest VCX manager from the website:
