I played around with the Ford IDS system for a coupe of year, it allowed me to do 90% i expert. But I had not yet hooks it up to program ACM module yet. So I decided to has a try. All the components of the audio system are talk to each of the other via the ACM. Ford loads the ACM in each car with a list of the "Audio components" installed in that car. All this ' s needed to activate the controls after putting another wheel in a base car are to tell the ACM what wheel was INS Talled. The
Ford VCM2Dealer system that's used anytime you need anything do to your car, a PCM reflash, add or change any module such as ABS , Factory Stereo, etc. First of all, let's figure out some terms related to Ford VCM2 diagnostic system VCM = HardwareIds = SOFTWAREACM = Audio C Ontrol modulevmm = Vehicle measurement modulepcm = Powertrain Control Module The dealer costs $ (you can also get A good "clone" under $300. Mine $138, the cheapest price I ever seen. The ACM isn't difficult to project, you need to download Ford VCM2 IDS ACM programming File Http://www.mediafire.com/down Load/jlsjcfxktippa98/extendprogramming.rar which I got from
Aobd2shopProduct page.
ACM programming helps to realize following functions:
1) Enabling an upgraded steering wheel with more controlsSome Ford owners do not like their steering wheel, comes with their car. Some does not like the hard feel, Some does not like hot or cold it feels. Some would not like stereo controls on the wheel. Lots of owners have installed the Boss 302, GT500, Premium or all R wheels on their base model, but they do not work. I figured out this they need to being activated to get it into work. You may get the problem do by went to the dealer ship and you are properly be charged $ or higher.
2) Enabling a back up cameraIn order to access Ford IDS system, you need to find the VIN # of a car, the have all of the same options as yours and the option you want .... For example:. Back to camera then compare yours and the other cars it should is all the same except for probably one value. After this, program your car with the new ACM build as data. Write Down/print out yours as, something goes wrong and your need to restore your old data.
