This is a bit of a side track, but there are clones out for the gm MDI that can be had for about $200.. They work great for gm sps programming,GDS2,Tech2win,etc.. They are supposed to be J2534 compliant..
Is there an easy way to see if the Ford IDS system will recognize it?? I have one, I could test it, I just have no knowledge of the IDS system? Is there a demo version?
www.tactrix.com - $169.00
found this

Looks like its tested with IDS but not supported yet?
To use IDS you need to pay for subcription at https://www.motorcraftservice.com

A j2534 device will not support IDS. It is limited to the VCM rotunda unit. However a J2534 cable will support this other programming ONLY subscription http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...utsid=pubs_pcm
I have an IDS subscription along with a mongoose J2534 interface and have tried it I couldn't get it to work. The IDS cable is a weird LAN connection that communicates via the usb port. I also have a Tactrix interface I haven't tried it but doubt it will work unless Caesar has actually tried it.
ok so if i buy the Tactrix it should support Ford Module Programming (FMP)?
I want to try replace Fiesta ST 2013 European ECU with Fiesta ST 2014 American ECU, these are different both hardware and software.
You think it will work?
I also need to check if no other parts are different, hope Europe and US have same part number for same parts in microcat.
The Authentic VCMII is a bit expensive and i don't want to buy a china clone, some people question the quality of them.
Maybe it would be cheeper to have my dealer program it, if they will, but tactrix could be useful.
I have programmed a Fiesta ECM myself with the Tactrix device via Ford's $32.95 web service.
ok thanks, tactrix sounds like the solution:-)
Any way I can get info on using IDS with Tactrix? I?m trying to flash a used Mazda 3 ECM to replace a faulty one. Thanks!
