Mazda VCM II with IDS Ford
Hi all GA Members,

I decided to create this thread to try to answer with what software MAZDA VCM II could be used.

MAZDA VCM II interface is a Bosch MTS 6515 VCI. Mazda IDS 89 works with it great. But Ford IDS 89 does not see it at all.

Files in Bosch folder for both IDSs are very similar only description inside is different : Mazda VCM II or Ford VCM II.

I replaced vci_ident file from IDS Mazda to IDS Ford. And now Mazda VCM II has been recognised in Windows (ETAS network card was added), where Ford IDS was installed.
But Ford VCI Manager does not see VCM II. I heard that another file should be replaced. But I do not know which one.

Please write yours findings about VCM II universality....

PS.
I think that this VCM II should work also as GM MDI and with Bosh ESItronic. From Bosch internet pages description, it looks like the same hardware/electronics. Maybe some VCM II firmware update wil be suffient.

RE: Mazda VCM II with IDS Ford
Genuine Mazda ETAS VCM II is actually 6516..

It has been well documented elsewhere that from IDS 84 you must use separate VCM II's for Ford and Mazda as it is also not know by all that Mazda Japan has virtually divorced itself from Ford.
Ford is only a 3% holder of Mazda shares and is not their controller anymore.

Fact from 2016 there will be no Ford product or design in any new Mazda, only vehicles left for complete redesign are the current NC MX-5, CX-9 and Mazda 5 which use Ford engines.

All new current Mazda 3, 6 and CX-5 have zero Ford content.

Back to VCM's, I own genuine Mazda/Bosch VCM II, there is talk that old VCM will be unusable from IDS90.
Current VCI software for VCM II Manager is 2.1.1.5.

AFAIK It is the memory card which is different (software) and a few codes.

Could backdate software and use Bosch's Generic 6516 2.0.60.11 and see 'if' the Mazda VCM II will work with Ford IDS and visa versa????

Yesterday, I used VCM I with Ford IDS 90.01 without any problem. Coding tyre size and KAM reset without any issues.
VCM II not tested yet.

Original VCI or clone?

RE: Mazda VCM II with IDS Ford
It dosen;t mater if you have real license
As i know from ( or maybe I'm the only one that I don't know ) there's no patch files for newer Ford IDS version after v86
But if you have a HQ clone you can use the softwear for 5 days only for free
Good luck

RE: Mazda VCM II with IDS Ford
It was clone. IDS Ford give exactly 3 days of license. It looks like that it has full funcionality.

If you have Ford IDS on virtual system, for example WMware, it does not see the date roll back. You can change date on main system and virtual one (with IDS) will not see date change. So meds are not needed !
