I suspect that its either a license issue or I need firmware V2.1.119.3. I even tried the xprog download.(I think the Xprog is just for Module programming access rather than basic diagnostic comms access though).
It communicates with some modules such as the RCM - which had a fuse fail DTC of C1414 - and also cleared it, but just will not communicate with the PCM. However it will not read the 2004 Transit T260 2.0TDDI - PCM. I downloaded this - and finally IDS V86 sees my VCM 2 unit. I have read that I need v2.1.119.3 for the VCM, however the Bosch site only currently lists - v2.3.85.7. So I have been running V86, but the VCM 2 would not communicate with the IDS software. I have experienced the annoying nightmare of the 3 day trials on V91 and V101.
(SP177 - no wifi) I ordered V100 but it cam with V86, V91 & V101. I have bought an IDS with VCMII HQ unit and software. I have read through a lot of threads regarding IDS V86, V91, and the lovely VCM 2 / VCMII clone concerns. The VCMII Firmware version V2.1.119.3 has been loaded successfully using V91, but alas - I have stuffed the 3 day trial up on 2 x Hard Drives (HDD) now. I have tried rolling it back using the IDS V86 software and the VCI Manager - but it will not complete the roll back to V86 lower VCMII firmware version.
Hi All, My V86 Software will not operate with my SP177 VCMII firmware version V2.1.119.3.
