Earliest version of SDD for 2014 MY Jaguar?
 

My brother has a 2014 Jaguar F TYPE with a radiator cooling fan inop. I want to read/print DTCs in the modules for diagnosis but I really don't work on the newer cars.
I have SDD 130 (that I never use) but would like to communicate with the 2014.

I use IDS 118.5 with VCM for all the cars I own and repair for customers. I don't know when the last SDD version was issued to work with the Rotunda VCM.
I have a few DELL laptops so I could swap a dedicated HDD with Windows XP Pro for SDD.

SDD 130 dates to 2012 so I need to know the version for 2014.

Thanks if anyone can answer.

Now all I need is a copy of 136 to 140.
I think the latest I have is 131 when I had a DrewTech Mongoose Pro. I sold it to a forum member when I bought my VCMs and then went back to IDS 118.5.

Bob,

I had to go to SDD v1.50 to communicate with my 2014 XK.

Doesn't that require a second generation VCM (VCM II)?? I have 2 original Rotunda VCMs and don't plan on working much on newer cars.
Trying to retire but pesty Brother wants me to work on his 2014 3.0 F Type.

bob

He wants your expertise - he needs to buy you another Mongoose Pro. :icon_lol:

The original VCM (that you have Bob) works with all versions of IDS and SDD.

I only use the original VCM, no problem with the latest version of SDD, and it's still more reliable than a Mongoose imho, it will just load a different firmware if you switch between V118 and a newer SDD version, and vice versa.

There is a way to have the same firmware version in the VCM for V118 and V150, or whatever newer version, if you don't like it being reflashed all the time.

what version would I need for my 2009 XF S.C.

I read that list of versions and they start in 2010 would my car be covered with SDD or would I have to use IDS?
