Idiots guide to IDS

[loot]

You have xprog:-)

V86 web, v86 licence patch, xprog will get you ids up and running.

Optionally is v86.04(minor update) c81 (calibrations but it is in Airthies Sig, 3.5gb tho) not really needed as you'll get later updates over Wi-Fi

Thanks again, I am as far as the evaluation license saying it will expire in 3 days, do I just press continue?

[loot]

V86 doesn't have an evaluation licence.
Install v86 don't run shut down, restart then run v86 licence as admin and in xp3 mode, shut down.
Restart, run xprog as admin and lower choice-hq clone.

Run ids.

Non ford

00000

Uk

That's it.

Plug obd into the van with ign to pos 2.
Ids would id the van and ask you if the vin is correct etc.

Go to toolbox/selftest/all other etc and scan for fault codes.

I have downloaded

v86 web
xprog
ids patch86
ids 86 04 update

Sorry about this guys.

[loot]

Do what i wrote above from a clean install of windows, if you don't do the v86 and licence how i said it won't work unless you clean windows again

[rimotu66]

I thought I had don't it as you said Loot I did tick non ford, 0000 and uk but when I try to run ids I get the evaluation page, if I have to reinstall w7 it will be next week when I am back on shift as the it tech did it for me and I don't have a disc. Any one want to buy a vcm?

[loot]

Try a restore point to before ids

Try a restore point to before ids

Done, I think I may of messed up last night, should not have had a drink

Your drop down shows


xprog and 86.04

custom 2.2 155ps calibration

Ford IDS V86 (Web Installer).exe

Fordxprog.zip

IDS_patch_86.exe

IDS-86.04 update.zip

vcm2 reset.txt

Which do I choose, hope you don't mind taking baby steps with me, just do not want to screw it up again and I do not need any of the discs that came with VCM?

[loot]

Ahhhh do what i said above m8 that is it.

You are just like me lol

Do 1 step at a time that i said and if unsure ask.

Ok so I am going to download Ford IDS installer and x prog and nothing else then do as you said. Jeez I feel dumb

Its running install wizard now but only had the option of English (American) for language

Got a page up now asking me to install movimento group ab, is that part of it?

[loot]

Yes that's a dependant it'll get that itself just click OK

Once v86 is installed restart the laptop but don't run ids then on the v86 licence extract it to desktop if needs be then right click on it and properties and compatibility, xpsp3, and run as administrator then go out and run it.

That'll be ids installed and patched, unless you've buggered the registry by the first failed attempt in which case I'd choose to reinstall w7.

[rimotu66]

Where do I see the licence?

[loot]

Ids_patch_exe

[rimotu66]

Ok I have set it to xpsp3 (even though I am on w7 yes?)

I have downloaded xprog but not installed it yet, do I need to do that? Wish I lived in North Wales but I bet your glad I don't

Hang on I didn't download ids patch exe?

[loot]

I've had worse lol, ignore xprog until you've installed v86 and used the patch (licence) you can run ids and in blue top menu look for software etc (bottom left is 3 tabs just click on them until you see what you want).

Once you are happy you can then xprog but either or doesn't matter. The important thing is the steps you take to do v86 and patch OK
