China IDS?
Has anyone tried this? Looks like it comes with a older version of IDS, v68.

I wonder How well it works
Its a Great price
I wounder if you could control things for testing purposes And if it has Like a Cylinder Balance test or anything with it
Wonder if its like an AE with the Ford Bundle or just a Good Code reader
Definatly interested if its like an AE But that might be to good to be true

I emailed the seller asking if the software supported injector buzz test & cylinder contribution test. Also what else the software has to offer for the 6.0 application. Will return the results once I get a reply.

Tools Used in Your Work
Generally, you can deduct amounts you spend for tools
used in your work if the tools wear out and are thrown away
within 1 year from the date of purchase. Then

Be careful. I thought the same after spending 8K one year in tools. I got audited & went in with my receipts & representative. Straight from the IRS book this is exactly what they read to me & then handed me the booklet.

I just spent 4K on a new fluke, so I can understand. But i do not work on trucks for a living. If this will work with real IDS it will be great. I do understand that the new versions require a subscription key.
If a version from 05 or so works then I will be happy.

My cheap boss bought the china ids last year we got it to work all it could do is work with a 7.3. So he bought a real ids works mint like it should i have a AE for myself at home no where near the ease of use like an ids its slow sometimes jams up glad i dont have to use it everyday but for the price and for what it does for a 6.0 its all you need for the home mechanic. I heard the vcm2 has a yearly renewal of $500 anybody hear of this?

I also bought this "clone" vcm. I still have it and couldn't get it to work. I was emailing them and they were acting like they wanted to help get it working. I would send out to a fellow fte member to see if they can get it to work. I ended up going with ae.
