Matt,

Can we is that to log why the bb is not working on low gas?

LEXiiON

 

Im looking into it, trying replicate it. Will know more soon.

 

Logs sent

 

Thanks! This issue of the software ID not showing is specific to your PCM generation. Good Find!

-Matt

 

Do you want me to try my wife's Edge, too?

LEXiiON

 

Sure! wouldn't hurt.

-Matt

 

Sent. that one worked without any issue.

Matt,

I just saw this and downloaded the file. I'll run this tonight after work and send you the logs.

Basically you want us to run the file, if there are any errors save the log and send it to you and if there are no errors then let you know it was successful?

Are there any special things we need to do for this test? Does the car need to be ignition on engine off, or ignition on engine on?

Thanks, just trying to help out if I can.

-Jose

 

Matt,

I used the J2534 tester you provided on the forum earlier with my VCM II tool.

There were no apparent errors, but the VIN number displayed was not the VIN number for my car. I saved the log and screen shot of the tester.

I hope this helps the cause. let me know if there's anything else I can do to help out.

Thanks,
Jose

EDIT: I just double checked and the first 10 characters were correct. The last 7 characters (11 thru 17) were a repeat of the previous 7 characters (3 thru 10). I don't know if that helps any more.

 

i got mine too i was playing with it and its pretty weird program im going to need help with how to use it, you know program the asbuit pats relearn and stuff

 

Hi, new to this forum. I've read this ENTIRE thread and installed a premium cluster. Did PATS and car starts fine, but I cannot access module programming (same problem LEXiiON was having earlier). I've tried on both an xp and Windows 7 computer installing and running as administrator. I also tried (on win 7) changing "run in compatibility" modes for xp sp3 and 7. LEXiiON, how did you eventually get access? If anyone can help me I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks!

 

Nevermind, I should've had more faith in deerslayer. I now have the fix. Gonna try it tonight after work. Thx.

By the way, zeroaviation, dmhines, lexiion, jim010, you guys are geniuses. Thanks for doing all the legwork so us computer illiterate can enjoy the fruits of your labor. Now if only there were an easy way to get SYNC :-)

 

The bb not working when low on gas also was an issue with the bb when installed in my car as well.

 

Sync would involve the sync module and dash harness.

 

dcrusher - what fix are you talking about? can you send me a private message about it?

i've got plans to use the ford ids and vcmii on a windows XP virtual machine, if i can run windows 7 that would be much more preferred! but i havent yet hooked up my vcmii to my computer yet or my car to try to access anything and wont until i order the cluster and receive it.

 

**EDIT**Nevermind, I do believe I have found all my answers by looking at the wiring diagrams and being able to see the back of both gauge clusters. Should be fairly easy to wire up. Sorry for the thread jump! Carry on...**

So I signed up on this forum so I could ask all the geniuses in this thread about my current problem. Yes, I read all 103 pages of this hoping to stumble on the help I am after. I have searched, and asked, with no luck.

I have a base 2010 V6 with the standard 4 gauge cluster. I am wanting to swap it out for the simple 6 gauge cluster. Will be going with a standard unit, nothing with all the bells and whistles. I know I need the cluster, and the headlight switch bezel with the buttons in it. I will also be getting the VCM 2 with the IDS software, so I can do any programming I will need to do myself. The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on this is the fact that my current headlight switch doesn't have the 4 pin connector already there to be able to operate the message display on the 6 gauge cluster. Does anyone know if this is an easy fix? Can I buy / make the harness? Does it mean the connections will be different on the cluster? I know that some of the 05-09 models have the connection to the dash there, just not hooked up. I was hoping for the same. But of course my luck is never that grand, I guess they changed that in 10+ models, unless it's tucked away somewhere that I cannot see.

Thanks to anyone that might be able to lend a hand here. I know it's off topic to the thread, but kinda not...really. Also, if anyone has any of the parts I might need laying around, hit me up. And if someone could confirm that the VCM / IDS will work with a Windows 8 laptop, that would be nice too. Thanks again!

 

Anyone know how to activate the compass on the radio? Is there an asbuild code? Ever since I upgraded the cluster there are two lines where it would display. Thx

 

You need the mirror with the build in compass...

 

ATENTION BEFORE YOU DO THIS, as it can F*&%^ UP your Software
ok if you have the same version as i do 89 and the same VCMII the cloned one the option is not there, you got to update the VCMII and the software to 90.01
BUT VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU DO YOU ONLY GOING TO HAVE 3 days of free software yes its a pirate program at least mine is im looking for a 90.01 or up version if you guys have it share

 

Did you update your VCM software to 90???
