WDS might be a possibility for you depending what car you are trying to communicate with.Ĭontact me if you have more questions with WDS or IDS. I left the dealer in 2006 so all the training I have stops at the X350, X202, X400 and X100. I can help with WDS or IDS but I have NO CLUE how to work SDD. I think it might work for SDD 150 or something much later than IDS.( Integrated Diagnostic Software 2006-2009) Youll encounter new people, a new environment and a new set of responsibilities. The ToughBook is a good choice for a workshop but not necessary if you are careful.(don’t drop it) new job is too hard reddit But, plenty of people have found new jobs. I found a couple of Dell C640 laptops that were newer than my Toshiba so I retired the Toshiba. 2- install patch ( choice option 2 ) 3- Make a backup of your windows system (I recommend, this is optional) 4- Open the program with the interface connected ,( choose NON DEALER,when open program for first time ), keep vcm turn on,on the computer. I left the dealer and bought a used Rotunda VCM with the cables. The original setup that we got from Jaguar in 2006 was a Panasonic ToughBook 1.8 GHz but I used my personal Toshiba laptop and loaded the IDS software onto it to see if it worked and of course it did.

The Vehicle Communication Module is the link between the OBDII port in the car and the USB port on the computer.
