Hi, all IDS users. Ford VCM/ VCM2 software nowadays, you know, has been tested by some vcm users that IDS can be worked fine on almost laptops with different operation system, and even iPhone mobiles.
IDS V94 works well on Win 10:
My IDS is still working fine on windows 10,
IDS was installed on the panasonic toughbook i5 with windows 7
then the laptop got the upgrade to windows 10 with no reported problems,
this laptop is full of my everyday crap and i never turn off the security when i connect to van.
maybe i've just been lucky as i don't know to much about computers,
all the bosch stuff is there and calibrations .
i accidentaly updated to the v94 once from ford then system restored the laptop to previous setting
and it ran saying it was v94 with no problems with licence or anything
The VCM II is the brand new diagnostics interface from Ford ® for use with the Integrated Diagnostics Software (IDS). The VCM II and IDS, along with a dedicated laptop, provide full dealer diagnostic capabilities for most 16 pin Fords ®. This gives you the ability to uninstall all Ford Diagnostic components (IDS, FDRS, VMS, CFR, and VCI Software) from one central location, rather than having to uninstall each component individually. This uninstaller can be accessed by going to Start Ford Motor Company VCI Software Uninstaller.
IDS V97.01 works well on W10 Pro 64bit:
I have IDS V97.01 working with W10 Pro 64bit
IDS works well on Win 7 family:
I had it working fine on my old works w7 machine but had to give that one back, Got it on my own family w7 one too and no probs, and now got another w7 one for doing my own work stuff and looking to upgrade to w10 but holding off just now.
IDS V86 works well on Win 7 64 bit:
I tried to run a native copy of v86 using the same VCM, but directly on win7 x64
No problems, everything works sweetly.
IDS works well on Windows XP:
My ids is on an old shitter with xp and I don't let it connect to internet
IDS V90.01 works well on VMware running Win XP PRO:
The VMware image works nicely, it includes a patched version of ids v90 running on xp pro.
However, it wants to update the firmware in my vcm2 so i'll try with v86 before doing that. I don't want to brick the vcm2 so it won't work with ids v86
IDS V86 works well on iPhone mobile:
For all I use it really, I'm quite happy just running v86 on my iPhone.
Fast enough and hardly any problems.

New customer test report:
I had the vxdiag with full brands. The Ford IDS software in 2TB HDD is still V113. Today I tried to load the original IDS 114.05 software with the vxdiag unit.
Surprisingly, it works no issue. Test on Windows 10 laptop, same steps as v113. native install without VMware. But make sure update the vx manager driver to latest version (1.6.4.0).
Note: The current default Ford IDS software in HDD has not yet been updated to V114.
