VCM II clone problem - slick99 - 08-02-2017
Hello guys. I am posting here, maybe I can find a solution to my problem.
I have a VCM II clone.
I installed IDS V86 with patch. Is not working, it is telling me the IDS is too old for that VCM. Then, I installed V91.01 (with 3 days license) and same problem.

After that, I installed V101.01 and it is telling me that I need a license to activate ids.
Each time I tried to use it with WMware, with new windows XP. I tried in different combinations....and is not working.
Please help me !

i don't know what version you have installed
but go to program files\ ford motor company \ IDS \ Runtime \ETAS
if its version 104 the folder will be called firmware rather than ETAS.
Copy the etas/Firmware folder to a computer where you have no IDS and disable any firewall and antivirus, install the setup file in etas/firmware folder and try full recovery like was told above . you might need to try a few times .
RE: VCM II clone problem - slick99 - 09-02-2017
I tried 2 versions, 91.01 and 86 with patch.
Both of them were installed on fresh windows xp.
I've checked and on 91.01 I don't have any folder called ETAS on Prog File/Ford Motor Company/IDS/Runtime

You need to pull the rubber boot off the bottom and hold the red plastic reset button in, then whilst holding it in plug the usb lead back in all the lights should come on them you should hear a beep then try updating it again
Some clones won't update
RE: VCM II clone problem - slick99 - 09-02-2017
I've already done that on the steps above.
But the beep is not hearing
RE: VCM II clone problem - Cbenno - 09-02-2017
If I remember right it takes about 20 to 30 seconds before it beeps but sometimes the tiny switch on the circuit board inside breaks off if it is pressed too hard and needs resoldering back onto the board
