SP177-C1 is the best VCMII clone, but it’s too hot and sold out of stock always.Here, obdexpress.co.uk recommend two tool alternatives of VCM II Clone:

Ford

VCX Nano Ford IDS and ELM327, they can run ForScan and the price is cheaper than VCM2 Clone

  • What is FORScan? FORScan is a software scanner for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, designed to work over ELM327 and J2534 Pass-Thru compatible adapters There are many OBD2 scanners, but does the FORScan somehow differ? Yes, because it is designed especially for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.

1. Decent VCX Nano for Ford

Ford Ids Software Elm327

There’s various clones of fords VCM hardware but the cheapest is the VCX Nano. There are however fake ones out there so try and find somewhere with reviews so you can make sure it’s legit. I got one from AliExpress here

***You need the module programming hack .You have to activate the timer then go back to module programming then it works. Anyway, it depends on car model and year.

Connect to a 2005 Ford Five Hundred, recognized (Good)

Programming:

A required file “Extendprogramming.exe”, download on mega:

Decompressed -> select the car brand you want.

I want to program a key to the vehicle PATS system as I only had one key when I brought the car and really wanted a spare in case of loss or damage

This VCX nano for Ford & Mazda device was able to delete all old keys from the system then and add 2 new keys, whilst I was there I did some software updates on the PCM.

Installation tip:

With v106.2 running in a VMWare virtual machine. I found that, even though the laptop was within the recommended spec, it just wasn’t up to it whilst running as a virtual machine. Of the three vans I tried it on it could only read the Car Configuration Parameters off one of them, but didn’t always fail with the same error!

So I loaded a native v86.04 on the same laptop and the VCX Nano has worked faultlessly so far. My feeling is the laptop performance spec is critical: it seems to fail if there is any data underrun.

2. ELM327 running ForScan

You could also look at using ForScan. It’s free software and does most of the stuff IDS does (Can’t do ECU update but can do pump learn etc) You need to buy an ELM327 to use that but they are only €15.

Forscan and a decent ELM327 is all you need. It will do ~90% of what IDS can do, including all the learns and valve resets etc… You can get Bluetooth ELM327’s but be aware that they can be a bit “flakey” sometimes, plus the Android and iPhone apps don’t have the full functionality of the Windows-based version.

I use an old W7 laptop with Forscan loaded on it and a “USB” cable type ELM327 and it works fine. TBH, Forscan is a lot more user friendly than IDS…don’t get me wrong, IDS is brilliant if you can get it to work with a VCM-2 clone but we’ve had a lot of trouble with a lot of the Chinese clones…some work but a lot don’t…it’s a bit of a lottery.
