Where to get Ford FJDS software?

Post by Go4IT »

Hi guy, i just open up a new thread on this, as it might be of interest for others.
I was looking for a way to program ABS/BCM on Fords build after 2011 (new PATS system). I think(!) they can't be programmed with a tool working with INCODE/OUTCODE?!
Ford IDS is the full-blown software and mostly made for expensive Ford tester hardware (Rotunda VCM) and may not work with cheap J2534 devices (like UCDS).
On the official Ford Website there is a product called "FJDS" which seems made for such purposes. There you find
"FJDS is designed for use with J2534 compatible Vehicle Communications Interfaces (VCI) including Ford diagnostic hardware (VCM II, or VCMM). The FJDS software license includes time-based access to the FJDS software, software updates, and calibration files."

Sounds good, but i can't find this software anywhere to download, only find IDS. Here is an old video showing how to download and install FJDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBQyQC_rEo4 but since that the webpage was changed/updated and there is no seperate FJDS like shown in the video :?
Now i wonder where to get this?
I've also read that Ford is not selling licences for "individuals" anymore, so it could not get to work?

Software can be downloaded for free from their websites. One of them is: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/diagn ... goryId=276
:!: When connecting for the first time, choose "US", then access the link again.
