VCDS Equivalent for Ford

[doctor_bigfoot]

I know VCDS for VW and Audi, but is there something similar for Ford cars?

FORScan is available and cheap, there is also a free version.

Yes, FORScan is very good for Ford cars.

Ford IDS, if there is something to connect to.

UCDS is similar to VCDS.

FORScan. But make sure you have a MS-CAN compatible cable.

FORScan is a software developed specifically for Ford and Mazda. It requires a certain level of knowledge. Do it at your own risk. You can update the software, as well as use special functions such as DPF regeneration, ABS bleeding, etc.

FORScan is the best and cheapest option, also works great with Scanmatik 2 PRO (original or clone), which is the best tool, works great with many other programs.

I think the best option would be to use the IDS 110 with VCM or Mongoose J2534 which is good for diesel power balancing and programming new factory updates.
