You have IDS but what interface are you trying to connect with??
A VCM and IDS 118.5 is the last version of IDS. SDD is the continuation and MIGHT revert to legacy IDS but I don't think it will recognize any AJ16 ECM.

A Mongoose Pro will work with SDD125 onward, not any software previous.

You should concentrate on WDS or IDS (118.5) with a VCM.

That's it, it reverted to legacy IDS.

i did manage to get it to connect it with v134.

Im concerned it will take me awhile to find the B204 cable.... I can always buy the A203 cable new, the other one is gonna be a problem.

Can anyone recommend a current mangoose device to buy that might ship relatively fast? perhaps one that would work with the V130 posted above?

 

You could try the Diagnostic Associates DA-Dongle for Pre 2017 cars, that is the device used by JLR in the field, that's what I used without problems and they are very helpful if you have a problem. Direct from them in the UK they are £195 but I have seen them slightly cheaper at dealers on the internet. They also do a new version which covers both new and older cars which works with both SDD and Pathfinder but that is a lot more expensive but again it is supported by JLR.

 

Hi Dymaxxion,

try and have a look here: Search Result: jaguar=

I bought several of the Pro's there for my folks and run them with 130 without problems.
(And what do you call "fast shipment" ? Count in three weeks.)


Best regards

I could definitely use your help and I am located in fort washington I have a 2011 x351 S/C and on initial start up the car works as a dream and then the infotainment powers itself down, and I get faults for blind spot, tire pressure monitoring system, and then the car loses communication with the kvm. If the car is shut off during this, it will then give the no key found message and anywhere between 15 mins to 4 hours is needed before the vehicle resets itself and starts up with no issues until boom, repeat. However if when the issue occurs, I disconnect the battery for roughly 20 seconds it will reset everything and then repeat. I believe it is a software update needed but the dealership quoted me Roughly 500 bucks which is ridiculous

 

are these or updated versions available somewhere else. I understand this is a very old post and none of those links exist anymore

 

I am interested in these as well. I hope they are still around somewhere...

 

I've used some tens hours lately by collecting related files.

Lots of dublicates as I'm making "setup" folders aka work in progress.

Thank you! And nice roster of cars you have

 

Thanks for PDFs. I added dates and more details onto their names, and they are now part of my "gallery" which link is above.

 

Don't forget if you are looking for other technical information, especially vehicle specific, look at the forum file download thread Jaguar Forums File Download Area, Folder Index

 

I'm unable to locate this info anywhere. Appreciate the help. I tried using GGG's version of 150 but the patch file is no longer available. Bill sent me CD's but I don't have a date to launch.
Shoot I prolly should have posted this elsewhere , I have an OEM VCI. But while I'm asking.

Dates for v 138? 145? 150?

 

Thank you kindly sir

 

obviously would require the jag software v118.5 which it seems people here could supply,
but would this VCM2 be compatible to work with a 1995 X300?

i know it is a chinese clone and may or may not work.
more just trying to understand does it need to be a VCM or is a VCM2 (which are more readily availible) suitable?

i would love to have a diagnostic tool to look into my car.

@Sean W

From a post that I did elsewhere:
I use 7/12/17 for V150, If remember correctly.

Which offline version of SDD should I use?
That can depend on personal preference and what model year vehicle you hope to service. Versions with integral VBF vehicle Binary Files are recommended. Typical SDD release dates (approximate):
V126 July 2011
V130 Jul 2012
V131 Oct 2012
V135 Oct 2013
V137 Feb 2014
V138 Jun 2014
V139 Aug 2014
V141 Mar 2015
V142 May 2015
V143 Oct 2015
V144 Dec 2015
V145 May 2016
V146 Aug 2016
V147 Nov 2016
V148 Dec 2016
V149 Apr 2017
V150 Jul 2017

A release date that coincides with your vehicle production date will have all of the files required for off-line operation and module programming. Why not just use the most recent release date available? There are subtle differences between versions. If you are learning/asking questions, using that same version as your mentors makes sense. Newer releases have newer vehicle binary files and nicer UI, user interfaces. Older versions have simpler structures and may allow files to download under "less than perfect" conditions. Example: A module is working but fails to communicate via CAN properly. If you need to program a new key a "newer" version may halt the process until the questionable module is replaced. An older version may ignore the issue and allow the key programming. If you are studying the actual program structure, earlier versions, say V138 and earlier, are linear and easier to follow.
