Just an FYI, I have a zip file for IDS v113.

 

Is this something you are able to share?

 

I should be able to, only issue is the file size. Even compressed I think it is still like 60MB.

 

I think you forgot another 0 on that 60, pretty sure it was 600MB. We're there any improvements from the version numbers or are they only adding new vehicles? Wasn't sure if there was a purpose from going from 113 to 114 if all you have is a 2004 F350.

 

If this works, would be a good alternative. Most of eBay vcm ii listings are now gone.

There is a good comparison here:

How about Dropbox or Google Drive?

 

Actually, I am going to put the installer on my Google drive I just haven't had tune to upload it from my local harddrive on my Laptop. I should have some time this weekend to get that done. And a FYI I did miss a 0 plus some, the file is about 700MB.

 

Shame on all of you for using pirated, illegal software and hardware from China. China is FILTHY DIRTY and steals from everyone else.

Don't you folks realize all you're doing is continuing to sponsor, pay for China's continued theft of intellectual property?

 

Hi F350 1990,
in your opinion, are the prices for IDS justified? I haven't even received an answer from them yet.

 

When the convicted monopoly Microsoft dominated the OS and PC landscape, I moved to Linux. I still used Windows when I had little choice or no choice. I didn't call people using Windows shameful people at all.

When a person is trapped in a "history" cave, it's his/her instinct to break it to get out, although it would damage the cave.

We're trapped. The keyboard we use, the mouse we use, the monitor we used all are made over sea by someone you don't like or not agree with their way of doing things. They violate human rights, they don't have good law protecting workers, they use child labor (which is very important for poor country and important for the kids' families). But we still have to use them. Do you honestly answer me that you don't use a part made from them?

When we're trapped, we have very little choice. You have very little choice yourself! Be honest with yourself.

When people pirated musics, they were blamed as bad, until Steve Jobs told the musics industry that they gave users not much choice in the digital age, and hence the Apple music store was born and pirate musics reduced dramatically.

We need a way out, not shamed out. Almost all of us, include you/yourself use stuff oversea. Then why preaching things that you do yourself?

Accept the truth. I don't know what the solution is, but the problem is not us users.
We promote freedom and democracy, open and free and FAIR competitions. Maybe that's a start that can shed light on how to go forward.

In the industrial revolution period, people smashed machines, blamed them for their misery. Little did they know it was their boss, their government that caused it.

 

You know there would be an option if Ford would allow for a cheaper alternative. I work on GMs also, and they offer a 3 day license that works with and J2534 compliant devices.

 

Let me rent your IDS software, no average Joe can afford that ****.

 

I have had my IDS and Laptop for over a year and still can’t get any of it to work. About to sell the Toughbook and everything.

 

Okay well I got my SVCI diagnostic tool in today. I'm still trying to figure out how to get it going. It seems to read the modules in the truck via ForScan, installing IDS and the SVCI loader I see the IDS splash screen come up and I keep getting "IDSLOADER Load IDS software failed. Maybe IDS has not been installed. Please install IDS at first." This is on versions 115 and 116. I will keep you posted as I've contacted the seller for support.

 

Goto YouTube and search Ford FVDI J2534 from FlyOBD. It's about a 15 minute video that shows you how to load everything and run the device.
