I have IDS 130 and mongoose knock off. Overall the IDS seems to work, except I get an error for all modules when I try to pull the codes:

[ERR 0x22] "The request can not be processed due to a bad specification or missing parameters".


Is there a version of IDS that is known to work with Mongoose for X300 cars?

If there is a VCM + IDS combination known to work, I would be interested in that too,

 

I have a clone VCM and IDS 118.5 and I can confirm that works perfectly on my 95 X300. I've also used it on X308, X Type, S Type, X350, XF and they all worked fine.

 

I guess you've seen this?



Mongoose should be OK, I also suspect it's the software installation that might be the issue...

I recall also seeing ERR 0x22 when running my setup in Legacy IDS a couple of times. It's fine when running SDD on modern vehicles, but in Legacy IDS it's "buggy" will freeze or crash from time to time.

If I had one of the older cars I would be looking for a WDS or a PDU system, while the Mongoose is cheap, it doesn't seem to be reliable in Legacy IDS...

 

what cable do you use?
i seem to undertsand that the mongoose only supports 2005 and up
i also have a 1995 xj6 that was my mom's (RIP)

 

I have a genuine ford VCM that works fine with ids 118.5. I was unable to get Mongoose clone to work with my 1995 X300.
