The Ford VCM, or Vehicle Communication Module, is a rugged, high-performance gateway system. It features Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) that guides you through the process of identifying faults with your Ford.
A technician can even work remotely to help you fix the vehicle once you connect the VCM. The VCM unit comes in magnesium housing with a tough plastic cover that offers protection and has five LED indicators that provide you with visual information. You connect the VCM to your vehicle using a 16-pin DLC cable. To analyze the diagnostics, you can hook up an older model to a laptop using an Ethernet-USB adapter cable, but more modern versions connect wirelessly.
A full OEM Ford VCM package comes with the unit, cables, software disc, and a plastic box for storage, and you can find it among the vast inventory on eBay.
