Keith Browning Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Installed IDS 76 on my IDS and the Shop's IDS. No big deal. The subscription process and license key retrieval is easy to deal with. First time you plug the VCM into a vehicle the software updates on it as well. So far, all is working well. The only bad thing here is our dealer has a $767 credit which cannot be transferred to the new owners when the dealership changes hands. What a scumbag move on Ford's part.

lmorris Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The credit is money your dealership has already paid for VCM subscriptions. Most likely the old owners will recieve this back from Ford. It's up to them what they do with it. Just like buying a house with a sattelite dish installed. The previous owner is not going to let you use their subscription after you move in. Sucky but such is life when you buy something used.

Jim Warman Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have one IDS up to 76 and it is registered.... when I try to update to 76.02A, it tells me that 76.02A must be installed over IDS 76. TIS hotline was down this AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIS hotline was down this AM I'm having the exact same problem putting 76.02on one of my PC's. I put 76.02 on a buddy's PC with no problems this week, and it is the same PC- a Asus Eec 10" netbook.

Matt Saunoras Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 76.02A, IDS locked me out of a 6.7 reprogram yesterday. It was at the very end where it would normally clear DTCs so nothing became of it. It has to be a problem with our machine. I had a charger on the veh but not on the computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I removed and reloaded 76 and all is well. I can press on and upgrade the rest of them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saunoras Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've done two 6.4 reprograms finally without issue. It is the IDS toughbook, I've been plugging it in and it's been programming great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I have done a couple 6.7s programs on 76.03 without issue. Well I take that back. My windows decided it was more important to restart the computer mid calibration for a Fn "windows update" I didnt even get a chance to tell it to restart later. Thank god IDS pulled back the pcm from the pits of hell of a blank module. Have I every mentioned how much I hate windows??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Turn off automatic updates. You can run updates automatically when you feel like doing so. Since my IDS laptop is only used for IDS I could care less about updating. I came to this conclusion after a similar experience some time ago.

Evertime I hear a customer complaining about trouble with sync, I have to refrain from saying, what do you expect? Its microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had it setup to prompt for a update first...The kicker was I was not even on the internet as I use a 4G air card since I am all over the place with my computer. I check it again...so wish I could have made my macbook work for IDS. Jim, yeah I laugh with the newest generations of sync getting more complicated. Hell I still remember the first time I had to reprogram one, I had several WTF moments during that experience. I have family and friends with it that dont even use it as its too complicated for them to figure out or they get pissed its not working like they would expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
