IDS for the common man?

Postby Sports140 » Sun Feb 08, 2026 4:33 pm

Does anybody know if there exists a free (“cracked”, non-license) and functional version of IDS out there in the vast interweb? Anyone have experience with this?

I love forscan, and very grateful about that existing, but I might be in a situation where I need to do a pump learn while not being able to get the van started and idling.
Btw, anybody know if it’s true IDS can do pump learn on a crank-no start?
What other proprietary magic does it wield?

Cheers, McGilvray :)

Doesn't matter if you have IDS or Forscan....the engine "must" be running and certain conditions met with either before the learns can even start.
